I’ve briefly thought about the new hardware renderer still planned for Tiled after reading about it via GitHub, and I find it really neat about how it’ll improve performance and make it far less sloggish for anyone wanting to go make super crazy-huge maps for games.
I calculated the amount of time it’ll take to be implemented in my mind after reading it, which is 350 hours from what I’ve read, and it narrows down to about 15 days, which is 2 weeks and almost a day, 10 hours above 350, to be accurate.
Figuring out the amount of days to work on it was easy for me, but I already know the actual work isn’t.
I don’t know the present progress status of it, but I can only guess some or a bit of it is made… maybe?
I already know work’s already focused on 1.12 right now, but I may as well ask you this, anyway; would focus on the new renderer be part of 1.12, or for a later update after?
Thought I would ask this for discussion, and in case it seems to be forgotten again.
Well, whatever the matter, I’m very hopeful it’ll be done. I’m still looking forward to it. Thanks again!
Is this AI generated? The math is off quite a bit. We’re looking at a project of at least 2 months. That’s assuming the estimate is accurate, but software development time is usually underestimated and my estimations are no exception to that.
The only progress that has been made is part of “Tiled Quick”, which is part of the repository in src/tiledquick, src/libtiledquick and src/tiledquickplugin. At the moment it’s just a map viewer.
Yes, my focus for 1.12 are the new Properties view and support for array properties, but anybody is free to work on other tasks. I don’t think a new hardware renderer can still make it into 1.12 though, but there’s always the next release.
Nope. 100% pure Human. I only used my real brain to figure out the estimate. But, yeah, I try to be closely accurate as possible. I counted by how many hours there are in a day, and I kinda thought I was accurate, but, barring any weekend days and nighttime hours, if needed, then… yeah.
OK… Nice of you to share. Don’t know what Tiled Quick is, anyway. I’m guessing, maybe a new feature or what?
Well, it was worth asking, anyway.
I’m only a newcomer to the forums. No familiarity nor experience about that outside of here.
