Reality Revision

Just a short note, but due to all the excessive problems GTGE has given us, I’ve decided that the engine really isn’t worth the troubles and might as well drop out early to avoid even more problems later on ( particularly during the SRPG coding ). Any engine developed using Java but must use it’s own GUI-tools rather than the well developed Javax.swing well… has problems. There’s absolutely no reason why they made the GameLoader unable to accept JButtons but only the customized TButtons ( which I wonder if it even works ).

Therefore, we’re switching from the GTGE engine to the Allegro Library ( see Wiki, Library Wiki, and Main Site ). It also means that we’ll be using C++ instead of Java as the main language, and I intend to use Python bindings for additional support.

Since the current task in the coding branch is to determine and decide upon a game engine, I figure a list of functional requirements of the game will come in handy. That way I can actually see if an engine’s available code meets all (or as much of) the needs for the planned game implementations.

This is just a rough outline of the functional requirements as they come to mind, it follows no forms of standard formating as defined by IEEE or anyone else whatsoever.
