I haven't worked on anything in a while because a co-worker of one of my housemates lent me Demon's Souls. That's an addictive game.

I tore myself away from the PS3 this weekend just long enough to finish this latest little mini-project: using Lua as a data file format. Here's my minimal test file:


DRONMesh {
name = "Triangle",
verts = {
{ 0.0, 0.5, 0.5 },
{ 0.5, -0.5, 0.5 },
{ -0.5, -0.5, 0.5 }
},
tris = {
{ 0, 1, 2 }
}
}

I said it was pretty minimal ;)

Anyway, DRONMesh is a lua function that creates a new Mesh object, populates it with the data given in the table, and registers it with the resource manager. I need to expand it to handle materials, bones and whatnot, but I'm happy that I got it working. I haven't stress tested it in any way, but all the models in my game are fairly small (< 100 vertices), so I'm not too worried about long load times.
