Week 3 - Headheadaches

Things that gave headaches this week was Darcs and getting a computer that supported shaders.

We had 3 different Darcs repositories (one for every week), and we wanted to merge these repositories into one. Now this may sound easy, but it turned out to be really complicated since we had a lot of conflicts in our patches. We spent around 4 hours trying to get everything up and running. It was quite frustrating.

Our final solution was to take a clean openengine pull and manually copy in our code. This worked :) Darcs seems to be really bad at merging code together - it's almost lethal to edit in same files/functions.

We all use laptops for development and only one of the laptops has support for shaders. Stibitz was quite full of people, so we were forced to find some other Daimi computers that had support for shaders. At last we found them, but they were Windows machines... Getting OpenEngine up and running on Windows wasn't that smooth, we spent around 2 hours setting everything up.

Anyway, we have Darcs up and running and we have found some computers that are configured for game development... Now we can fully focus on game development :D
