Bulletbyte Homepage

Home

Welcome to the homepage of "Bulletbyte". Here you can find a couple of things I have developed in my free time:

Irrlicht Extensions: One of my hobies is game coding (see the homepage of my games, dustbin-online.de for details), using the Irrlicht 3D engine. For this I have made some extensions to Irrlicht which you can download here.
Free Opensource Programs: These are mainly little helper programs and introductions to technologies that were new to me developed in Borland Delphi and C(++).
JavaScript: As I maintain some homepages (like this one, see links for details) I have written some nice JavaScript code snippets that I want to share with you, e.g. the dynamic tree you can see on the left.

If you have tried some of the things I provide on this page it would be nice to let me know, either by writing me an eMail or by signing my guestbook.

Bulletbyte and Dustbin::Games News

2010-07-30 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	Just a little cosmetic change: added a progres bar I found in the Irrlicht forum to show the level loading progress.
2010-07-26 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	Finally I managed to get rid of the memory leak I introduced almost a year ago. The current version doesn't leak at all (at least no leak was observed when using the IrrOdeCar demo).
2010-07-26 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	New version linked to the leakless version of IrrOde. If you observe the program with the task manager you will notice that the memory usage does still increase, but this comes from the recording feature.
2010-07-17 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	Fixed a little bug in the selection of objects in the IrrOdeCar demo: it now works for all objects that can be removed.
2010-07-15 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	Another bugfix with the replay system: it does no longer crash, even if you try to watch a second replay. I also added a "pause" function which can be toggled using the "Space" key.
2010-07-14 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	Fixed a bug in the replay mode caused by the modified event handling in IrrOde. Replay does now work again.
2010-07-11 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	Fixed methods to remove objects from a scene created with the "IrrOdEdit" plugin and added the possibility to remove parts of the scene to the IrrOdeCar demo.
2010-07-11 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	fixed bug with network game. It was not working for the last two or three versions due to modifications in the IrrOde message queue added a special "netbook" mode. This was necessary because the bottleneck in my netbook was not the graphics chip (Nvidia ION) but the processor that has problems calculating the phyics of complex levels
2010-06-28 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	added a flag "updateGraphics" to CIrrOdeBody. With this flag you can disable the automatic update of the graphical representation of an ODE body. This is useful for "dummy bodies" that are just used to have more than one joint connect two bodies (e.g. a slider and hinge for a car's wheels) added a "collision group" value to CIrrOdeGeom. Geoms with the same value not equal to zero won't collide. Useful for dummy bodies, e.g. to make sure the car's wheels don't collide with anything else of the car
2010-06-22 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	Another small update: you can now specify a name for the parameters of bodies and reuse them with other bodies (there is a "useDefined" flag). This feature is available in the IrrOdEdit plugin.
2010-06-20 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	fixed some nasty bug with CIrrOdeJointSlider and joints in general removed deprecated and unused geom parameter "isSurfaceMaster" added some ODE functions to CIrrOdeBody, IIrrOdeDevice and it's implementations improved the IrrOdeMarble and the IrrOdeCar demo updated IrrOdEdit project
2010-06-20 \|	dustbin::games: stunt marble racers
	Little update without new functionality: moved the project to the Code::Blocks 10.05 IDE and to the latest IrrOde wrapper.
2010-06-15 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	Added a XCode project to the zip file. Thanks to bluecat from the Irrlicht forum for providing this.
2010-06-10 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	moved the Code::Blocks project to Code::Blocks 10.05 remove some old methods some "const" adaptions for the latest gcc added implementation of the set and get methods for the world's ERP and CFM to CIrrOdeWorld fixed a bug in CIrrOdeAeroDrag for reverse moving objects (it's not a real fix but a workaround) I also started a project for IrrOde on sourceforge.net where you can always access the latest code of IrrOde, often before a new version is available for download on bulletbyte.de: http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrode/
2010-06-03 \|	bulletbyte.de: IrrOde update
	added new event CIrrOdeEventProgress which is posted after each initialization step added CIrrOdeSceneNode::initPhysics implementation (posting CIrrOdeEventProgress events) made sure CIrrOdeSceneNode::initPhysics is called from all initPhysics methods updated project files for new event
