Surfing through the xubuntu repository I found this new fantastic c++ multiplatform ide:
In Windows it uses gcc 4.4 and has an integrated Subversion plugin!!!

Currently I'm trying it with my home projects. OhYesYesYesYes

Lucera Project

"Lucera Project is a small videogame company that wants to realize some basic libraries to help other ‘indie’ programmers to make games easily. Performing all difficult and cumbersome stuff to allow developers to implement their games without worrying about details like load sounds and textures, render on screen, capture inputs, and so on.

In addition, Lucera Project libraries are cross platform and can compile the same code for different platforms such as Windows or iPhoneOS.

We hope to help many people to achieve their dreams of creating video games."

But, hey! I appear inside as contributor. My fifteen minutes of fame :D

Light shafts

In my holidays I'm trying new techniques for my terrain engine. Unfortunately, in my screen space terrain implementations, the well-known artifact of "vertex swimming" appears and it's very noticiable :|

I think that I can reuse the technique in order to code a cool screen space water effect in the near future.

For now, I'd been added the "Game Programming Gems 6" terrain technique (very simple, pretty fast, and without any pre-calculation), light shafts (but the effect needs a radial blur), and particle billboards for cloud rendering.

Goodbye :(

Busyyyyy
