Hey everybody!<\/p>\n
Sorry for my long absence! The case is that we just renovated our house with my family during the weekend (starting with Thursday), so I didn’t have much time to spend with coding. But as we finished with all the work around our house yesterday, here I am again, more tenacious than ever! Hey everybody! Sorry for my long absence!

\nI also finished today with the file handling (at least with those parts what don’t involve saving\/loading current game stance, only loading screens, sprites, texts, etc.). Sometimes figuring out what the Pascal sources are intended to do and converting it to C++ code was a rather tricky thing. (For example the problem with Pascal-style arrays and strings. Especially strings.) But finally I came over it, and now it’s done and working. At least I think it does. I made several tests to them, almost trying with all the functions and all their source files (mostly *.AVDs), but the real test will be using them in the final code. (You can check\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0link, if you’d like to know more about Avalanche engine’s file types and other related topics. Written by the original author of the game himself!)
\nMy plans for the following days are these: I’ll follow the program flow with the help of the warnings I placed previously in the code during stubbing, and going one by one, I’ll implement each and every function in the code. I think the real pain will come with the screen processing units, but I don’t think I have anything to fear as long as I have as awesome helpers as fuzzie or dreammaster.
\n(Sadly, my mentor, Strangerke is on holiday and we can connect only rarely, but luckily SvummVM has a great community, so I don’t think that I’ll be suffering from the absence of help even for a minute.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
