angelwing

IntroductionShort:
Angelwing aims to be a highly configurable and pluggable make-like program for angelscript, a C++-Script-Library, while it has no direct relation to that project.

Long:
Hint: You should know about AngelScript while reading this.
As you may know, Angelscript requires you to register your own types and classes before you can do all the interesting stuff. Any existing program like make itself cannot do this for you and doesn't know about this issue. Here comes AngelWing in use. You can register your codestuff in the makefiles directly and then save your code as a binary file. Afterwards, you can load this binary file directly into AngelScript, skipping the compilation-step. Depending on the count and complexity of your scripts, this can really speed your loading times and/or executionspeed depending on your design. We are not only providing some make-program here, but also a fully scaled C99-compatible Preprocessor using boost::wave which does all the fancy stuff for you.

In the WorksAt the moment, I focus on writing / completing the manual.

23.02.09 New Version

I have just uploaded a new version. This version shows you in what direction the extensions will go. What I still need, is a XPlaform-Library for loading those libs into angelwing. This is needed to reuse the extensions in the game-code. But please download it and let me know what you think :).
