SQL Success.. Two suns on the agenda again it seems.
Havent posted for a while, and had a chunk of spam comments from a setting change. You know how many people found my post interesting and helpful… Lots of spammers did..
I have done a lot of work to screeb, changed and added a lot only I havent uploaded a release yet, but decided to move onto something different for a while. One of the main problems I hit when working on Two Suns a long time ago was that I couldnt code a connection between C++ and a decent SQL Database. So I have been working on that the last few days and I had some success tonight. Have been able to connect to and get data from SQL Server. This is a big deal for me, as it means I can now write the last library required for Two Suns.
Once I get the database library written I can start designing the data scheme that Two Suns will use to maintain everything including the universe, user accounts, items, and so on.
This means that I can then put all the pieces together with the database as the backbone, Direct X graphics engine, networking, threading, AI systems, and start building the tools needed to make the world. Who knows how long this will take, seeing as I am also studying and working full time, but its possible I might get something working this lifetime.
Well thats where I am at… looking forward to getting the database library done.
