My next task was to fix a problem I had in Junior project which was ultimately linked to my camera class and to implement a style of resource management.
Here's what I have done in UML form.
The camera class was easy, that was just a reprogram on my part, what has become difficult is the resource manager.
I had found some code that went with my Software Engineering class that had a lot of good ideas in it, one of which was it's resource manager. I loved it's...

Figured My Shaders

All I have to do is create a generalized shade and store shader material information in a separate file and have the shader only attempt to render an effect if the effect's parameter exists.
Well, I figured that out, now I just have to program it in.

Site Fixed

I swapped my postings over to BBCode so that I could limit the max size of the posts on the main pages; however, this required me to go back and edit all of my past posts to change the html to bbcode.
The only posts I haven't fixed are the ones where the image and url references no longer exist, aka the WIP section, since the group I was with in FPSBanana no longer exists and the WIP section was destroyed.

I've just concluded that I need to revamp my model manager that I originally built for my Group Junior Project.
I's post the code I used for my Junior Project, I just need to revamp my site code to handle the code more efficiently on my site first.
Getting my old code critiqued at The GameDev.net Forums. You can see my code over ther for yourself.

Personal Project Page Added
In Project One - Posted on Tue 2nd March 2010 3.28AM--
Whelp, I've finally gotten around to it and added a category to document my personal project.
Only problem now is to finish my idea.
I'm thinking about trying to do an RTS of some kind, but have yet finalized an idea.
I may start development on the engine before I have the final idea, as there are a few things I've already decided I must incorporate into the project
-Must be fully 3D
-feature particle emitters
-autonomous AI
Updates, including final game idea, to come soon.
