Re: New here, great game

Ah pretty cool, I tinkered with swig a bit, makes life easier somewhat to just have a single api. If you ever want, stop by the irc channel, we are always friendly there. :P Got quite a few people who nibble on code. :) I do use luabind to export my C++ objects to the scripts, but other than that i...

Re: New here, great game

I hear ya, are you a swig person? Or do you just include the libraries on your own? I integrate them directly into my own C++ code. There really isn't a lot I need to do to get scripts working with my code, so I've never found a need to wrap the APIs. I implement pretty quick and simple interfaces ...

Re: New here, great game

Ah, I remember Lisp and Prolog at univeristy. Simple AI programs were the only time I've ever seen them used. Personally I prefer Python or Lua if I'm integrating C/C++ with a scripting framework. The mix of xml and Lisp seems to work well for Transendence though.

All you have are devices you can buy and install. In terms of storyline I guess I just don't find the whole "reach the galactic co...

Re: New here, great game

I actually "cheated" a little while playing vanilla Transcendence 1.01 by downloading and installing a mod for mining. During play I found shooting asteroids at random in the vain hope of hitting ore to be very tiresome. After installing one of the mining mods it became MUCH more enjoyable. Even wit...

New here, great game

Hi all, I've just finished playing Transcendence and I loved the game. It's has one of those playing styles that works perfectly for someone who hasn't got a lot of time to play games :) The graphics for the game are also brilliant. They are some of the nicest 2D images for a space game that I've se...
