Project Simply Complex
Well, nearly 2 months since last post... Summer is not a very productive time for me :) But I have lots of things to talk about so updates should come more often during the next weeks.
Today I wanted to talk about Project Simply Complex, probably the most ambitious project done with Jade 1.1 (that we know about). As you can see in our wiki page here, it's the work of a group of people from Milwaukee School of Engineering about Rube Goldberg machines. I must thank Alikar and the rest of the project team for sharing their code with the the Jade community and people involved in 3D game programming in general. You can download it our page on Codeplex.
Take into account that the code is in early alpha state not pretty or finished by any way ;) But there you'll find very nice examples of picking, physics integration, drag and drop and an UI for Jade (the UI is probably one of the most requested features of the engine). Also, they got quite a good understanding about Jade 1.1 and their suggestions and comments have been pretty important for several Jade 2 decisions.
