How the demo works: |
Making Of Showtime - A Coders Nightmare!
Yo, StingRay at the keys! As you probable all know, I had the
pleasure(?) to be the poor coder of the current ST issue. When
Ghandy told me a weeks ago, that Modem has left the scene and asked
me, if I could do the code work for the next Showtime issue, I said
"Yes, of course, that's not a problem." Well, I didn't know, how
wrong I was at that time. A few days after this phone-call I got
the Darkage Developer CD with the sources for ST and the gallery.
After I had a look at these sources, I had a nervous breakdown,
because I've NEVER seen such a crappy source in my life... For the
gallery I remembered the words of Frank Sinatra and 'I did it my
way' . Since I'll code the mag engine for ST17 completely new, I
thought that it would be ok to use the old one for the last issue,
but that was one of my biggest mistakes... If I had recoded the
whole engine from scratch, I think the delay for this issue
wouldn't be much longer... No, this was not funny to do... Watch
out for the next ST with a completely new engine, I only have one
last message:
NEVER TRUST AN ITALIAN!
Over and out, a stressed StingRay at the day of the ST release (Oh
and I've to tell you, that Scicco, Medi and myself are NO LONGER
MEMBERS of Secretly! due to the very childish of a certain member
of this group (no names mentioned....)
See you all and enjoy Showtime!
(PS.: There's a hidden part, seek, find, enjoy try your mouse
