Update

Finally posted 2 releases of the BadKid Core Libray.
Feel fee to use and play and most importantly let me know of any issues or changes needed.

The BadKid game engine is still being worked on but is always being reviewed.  watch this space because a GUI will be built into it and It should be used for The Scrabble nights game (working though not realesed just).  Reason being....  Umm no I'm not saying anything just yet.

Status update.

Making some changes to the engine at the moment.
Currently I am writing up a simpler version along side it to experiment with ideas and the following things will be implemented as a result.
Textures will be loaded as Sprites and are referenced through a Sprite Library.
The good thing about this is I will be able to cache and dispose and reclaim required spites when required.
The sprite library also uses either atlases or textures but can both be used identically so that's a benefit.
The variant of the sprite batch I'm working with also z-sorts prior to posting to the graphics device this should save some hassle.
Also I have just built the particle system, logging system. and working on inputs.
Sprite and Primitive batches can both take a camera input which make rending worlds easier and i have attach a simple tracking system for the camera so it can follow any target IE the mouse.
These all need to be re-integrated in to the engine but it's all looking good.

Next up is GUI interfaces and better collision detections.
As it is the collision system works very well and can detect collisions with objects even if they are
projected differently allowing game object to interact with UI elements.

I should really work out a road map.

Engine Core Rebuild.

Changes being implemented.
Removing anything XNA I was having to many issues with it and really wanted to take advantage
of shader model 4 which XNA was not allowing me to do.

Unfair Render/Update methods.
I am making this important change because XNA operates on a 1:1 ratio of update and then render.
I don't really like this because would like to have an update method that can do some actual thinking without causing jitters.
I also see positive benefits for networking and GameStratergies.
That's all for now I obviously have much to do.

Core Updates.

Whilst working on the BadKid Game Engine I have made some changes to the Core Library.I hate working in radians so I have stated to introduce Units of Measure.
for example you can write
var z = Maths.TwoPi.ToTau(Angle.Radian);      // 1 cycle.
The Angle.Radian can be ommitied as it already the default parameter but be carefull the functions do not know the uom you are working with. they are assumed.

Easy setting of display modes. in BadKid GameEngine.
The base constructor is now as follows

public GameEngine(int width = Preferences.DefaultScreenWidth,

       int height = Preferences.DefaultScreenHeight,
       bool fullscreen = Preferences.DefaultToFullScreen)

So all you have to do is create a constructor such as
public MyGame():base(320,200){
Alternativly you can set the DisplayMode using and Display mode available in the DisplayModes enumeration.
DisplayMode = DisplayModes.First();
