Frontend API by Outracks
« on: May 13, 2009 »
Hi there,

just wanted to share this one with you guys ... found the URL of a Demo/Gamedev API by the Group Outracks ... it's called Frontend and looks very very promising ...

http://www.frontendapi.com

Cheers,

Seems like Quantum was written with Frontend, it's an excellent and very generous initiative by Outtracks.

Damn, great link - thanks a lot sl!ppy (and cool to see you online again).

Browsing through the examples, this API seems to rock big times. All
Simple functions seems to make coding easier than ever. Looks
very structured and clear.

I just hope that this project will grow and not die. In addition I wonder
how the license issue is when using it for commercial purposes. The
page does not make a clear statement about that.

Nevertheless, the API looks very promising in my eyes.

Hey,

just played with the Quantum sources and found out, that after compiling the libraries and stuff, it has a very own gui-based studio environment which seems to be used for directing stuff in real-time ... wonderful!

Yai - @benny!: after a while of abscence I try to be here with you guys somewhat more often ...

Outracks and Nazareth Creations have been working on FE3 for some time now...I've seen bits and pieces of the code, and let me tell you, it's a fantastic workable API :) Probably one of the best I've ever seen.

Where the fun's at.

Hey there,

on request of eNeRGy I'm going to share the whole pre-compiled frontendapi2 workspace including fscript 1.0 and the demo Quantum compiled with the studio functionality ...

Here's the link ...

http://www.vectronixhq.de/frontend2-plus-fscript1.0.0.zip

if you get problems working with it ... On my disk it's located under D:\coding\SDKs\frontend2 ... just in case you need that information ...

Have fun playing around with it ...

Cheers,
SLiPPY
