Drawable Update 3

And now, this is it! I have fixed the Pixel Shader in the Drawable class. It now renders the star backdrop much better. At this point, the only thing left to do is make sure I have methods of positioning the drawable dynamically. After that, I can create the player objects and finally get this thing moving.

Spread the good news: The Drawable Class works! Thanks for all of your support over these past few weeks while I've been battling this object. I hope the Viewport class won't pose as many problems!

Thanks!

Drawable Update 2

As it turns out, it looks like the Rectangle object had to be brushed and attached to the Canvas before it would let the BitmapImage return the event "ImageOpened." Which is, of course, very bizarre. Regardless, it now works.

At this point, the only thing left to do is fix the pixel shader. At the moment, it is, obviously, skewing the result of the image. I have, currently, no idea why. I will continue keeping you all in touch.

Thanks!

Drawable Update 1

This is the first update in this series. Like I said, I will keep you all informed. After a few hours of work, I have decided to completely remove the Drawable class and restart from scratch.

As you can see right now, the drawable class is now sort of working. I will get it back to full functionality over the course of these updates.

Thanks,
Eric

So, Why Is Ant Slow?

So, you're wondering why Ant Development has slowed? It is because I am working on an extremely annoying bug in the Drawable Class that must be fixed before any development can continue. I will keep you posted. Most likely, I anticipate that this might affect the Open Beta date. It is simply harder than I imagined it would be to solve this issue. However, I will inform everybody when it is finished. Thanks! Eric
