Coldview - Yet another RGSS Player re-coding project

[nowayskill]

Hi guys, I've started to recode the RGSS library in C#, I use IronRuby
to let ruby use these classes that I'm making in C#.
The classes which I make have the same structure as the RGSS classes
which makes the player compatible with the basic game script which comes
with the new projects of RMXP.
I'm using Managed DirectX to render graphics which makes all of the graphics hardware
accelerated, the problem is that people won't be able to use big tilesets like in Pokemon.
To handle this I'm going to make a clone which uses GDI+.

Progress:
Bitmap - 5%
Color - 100%
Font - 80%
Plane - 2%?
Rect - 100%
Sprite - 25%
Table - 100%
Tilemap - 0%
Tone - 100%
Viewport - 5%
Window - 0%
RGSSError - 0%
RPG::Sprite - 0%
RPG::Weather - 0%

How will this help to imrpove the performance?

Anyone who has any knowledge of C# may PM me.

Would it not be better to use XNA for rendering rather than GDI+ since it faster and should be able to handle any type/size of image you are loading.

I could use XNA, but in this case I want my player to overlap RGSS
and RGSS uses Graphics.update to render graphics, also it is easier to
work with textures with the rgss elements..

You should be rewriting Graphics 0_0 What's the point of making an RGSS Player that does the same thing the original one does? rpgmaker is definitely right, use XNA to do rendering and it will be a lot faster.

 

[nowayskill]

The point is to make it faster and hardware accelerated and also make the window update even when its not in focus. I'd happily use XNA, but XNA is very limited for me, I also need to let Graphics.update render, and XNA uses a class which self-update.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Then don't use XNA, use DirectX directly. Write the renderer yourself.

You can also try out SFML.

Woohoo!

test_sprite = Sprite.new
test_sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new("TestGame/default_256.png")
test_sprite.x = 50

this actually works!

Nice nowayskill! I'll have some competence now, hehe, just kidding

If you need some help, I may be able to help you.

Hi there
I am doing the same thing, and actually I have recoded the whole RGSS in c#+XNA
I am only missing Tilemap.flash_data and Plane at the moment

Well when I say "the same thing", not quite. I don't bother using Ruby, I am making a RGSS like in c# using the same structure, and I use the RMXP data structure as well.
In other word I develop the game with RMXP and I make it works on XNA and so xbox
