GDArena Update v0.035 8/18/03 - 9:15PM EST

Get it at http://www.gamedev.net/community/contest/gdarena/gdarena.zip. This is a minor update to v0.03 that attempts to fix defects related to poor performance and others where the user is unable to execute the arena executable. From the changes.txt: ###### GD: Arena v0.035 MINOR ###### Fixes: * Startup/execution freeze problems * Defining "debug" mode in the gdarena.ini configuration file will now disable the 0.1 second Update() timing constraint Changes: * Objects inside the bot's visibility radius, but not in the bot's FOV, return 180.0 for the direction instead of 0.0. Additions/Improvements: * Created separate Changes.txt for the "Changes History" section. ------------------- Depending on the feedback received from this update, the beta contest may start very soon. The baseline is reaching a point where new "cool" additions are going to get tedious to implement. Without getting into the details of GameDev: Arena development history, let me just say that it has far exceeded original intentions. As a prototype, I think it served its purpose quite well.
