Switcher update soon
The 2D part is right now going through a huge process of improvement. The UI has changed a bit, many buttons are removed and replaced by a “right click menu” (long press). There is still a lot to do, but compared to what is done so far it seems to be a fairly small amount of work. Soooo, maybe this weekend or the next there will be an update : ) Little UI preview: Upcoming Read more…

OK it’s about time now :D
The 3D part of the Taskman for symbian i’ve been working on about a few months now goes out for testing. The following screens are included to show the ram and vram usage of the app. Both are kept realy low and do not perform in any negative sideeffects, but the code is still not optimized! Here is also a short video: Why it took so long? I had much stuff to do for university Read more…

QT’s bugs #01
Here i want to show a really nasty bug in QT’s QPixmap class that might confuse a little bit. I only tested this on Symbian plattform (Nokia N8 on the device itself). screenshot = QPixmap::grabWindow(QApplication::desktop()->winId()); screenshot.scaled(QSize(64,32),Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio,Qt::SmoothTransformation); qimg = new QImage(screenshot.toImage()); If i called this 3 lines about 15 times (no matter when) i got an “out of memory” message from QImage class.

You can create models, create an instance of them and update or delete single texturemaps at runtime. If you don’t need models anymore just delete them. If you use instances you have to be sure not to update the real model’s textures or delete Read more…

Switcher news
There are only a few things left to do. The tiles already update themself and the proximity sensor brings the taskman back to foreground. What is still left to do? Scroll the tiles make em touchable connect 3D app and the already working 2D app Shouldn’t be so hard i guess. 😀

New Engine functions
The 3D part of the Taskman I am working on needed a few changes and updates of the Engine. It is now possible to either load models as Instances, if it was loaded once already, or completelly load it into ram. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. It is now also possible to update textures for materials. More about this soon.

I only have to add 2 or 3 little functions to the 3D engine to be able Read more…
