Anyway, my new hifi can play MP3 CDs, MP3 players (Through a USB slot), and SD cards. How exciting. Unfortunately, it does the exact same thing with normal CDs >_<
I don't think it's my CDs, since they all used to work. I'll try them in my PC and see what happens, and in my flatmates CD player. Of course, I bought the hifi in Edinburgh, so I'll have to go back through with it in order to return it. UGH. And, the CD doesn't even spin up half the time. I think the CD bit is fucked somehow, or my CDs are bent or something. I dunno. I'll try MP3 CDs too. If they work, I don't really care if normal CDs don't work.
In other news, I have sprites rendering in my engine (again). After spending a while trying to work out why the hell my triangles weren't rendering, and then discovering that 1) they were getting backface culled, 2) my matrix class had a bug in the SetToPerspective() function, and 3) they were upside-down.
So it works, and I'm happy. I need to get my texture atlasing code working next, that should be pretty straightforwards.
I'm going to make the engine code so that an ETexture could be a full texture, or a reference to a part of a texture atlas. The game code shouldn't need to know what it is really. Dynamic and wrapping textures can be created by passing a flag at creation, and they can get their own surfaces.
Anyway, I'm bored typing now. Lunch / code time...
