It’s my 3rd year donating to Child’s Play and I’m so proud being part of something as great as that. I think that every gamer that donated to Child’s Play 2007 should add this to their GamerScore.

Happy new year everyone! We only live once, live life to the fullest in 2008! May all your dreams comes true!
Changes:
- Upgraded to Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
- HexEngine: Some cleanup in CMap. Testing the step by step loading had introduced some crap
- Secret Prophecy: Dialog box! I take a string, split it to fit the size of the dialog box and manage word-wrapping.
- Secret Prophecy: Dialog boxes now manage carriage return.
- Secret Prophecy: Dialog boxes styles. Can use the default style or specify a callback where you’ll style your dialogs
- Secret Prophecy: Dialog boxes types. You can chose for your text to scroll on one page or your text to be presented on multiple pages.
- Secret Prophecy: I now have a data structure that allow me to manage sequence of events per maps.
For example: Load the map, when the map is loaded, the player can’t move and an NPC walks towards him. The NPC finishing is walk, fires another event that launch a dialog, telling the player something. When the player finish reading the dialog, the NPC then walks back to where he was, the player can now move.
