What is AGE ?

First of all, AGE stands for Advanced Game Engine. It doesn't really mean anything, but that makes a cool name. To make a brief summary, AGE is a game engine made in C++ and using DirectX 9 libraires (maybe OpenGL will be added later). It contains (read will contain) advanced 3D graphic management (animated models, lightning, particles, shader effects, etc..), sound management, physics, as well as some basic game function such as heightmapping, cameras and basic AI. The point of this project is to make something that works, at first, then to publish it under my name and gain some renown. Then, maybe a game project will come up (don't count on that too soon).



Who am I ? My nickname is GLForce, and my real name Gabriel Lachance (see from where comes the GL). I am currently in software engineering. I programmed since I was 12 years old, but started it really seriously (read : stopped doing Visual Basic) when I was about 15. I'm now 20 (shoot, I'm getting old quicker than my engine, a script should take care of my other age problem). I think that's about it. Oh yeah, before you ask it : yes I'm a french canadian.

Something like progress...

The project has been pretty much inactive lately, but hey, that's not my fault. You know the deal : job, school, friends; there's no time left for my sweet AGE. But I've done something that might help the project progression. It's a schematic outline of the "basics" of the engine. There's a nice color system so it's easy to find where I'm at. Well, to make things short, I hope this will give me the kick in the butt I need to continue my work.
