To implement such a thread safe queue you should really use locks and condition variables provided by a threading library like boost or the OS directly if you want to do it the hard way ( portability!), otherwise it is almost impossible to do the checking and locking of the critical section in an at...

I would definitely use several threads. The main reason is that Data exchange between parallel processes generates more overhead and is harder to implement (IPC). I don't have any experience with multi processing but I imagine that it is more difficult to implement a cross platform multi process app...

I don't see why you have to do a "make install" ? I'm not sure whether it is reasonable to compile the engine with the game, but you could install it locally the first time you compile orxonox. (Similar to lua in the current setup)
That way you could be sure that you always have the right version.

Crysis looks very promising !

@Nowic: I don't think it will run on linux because it uses directx9 or 10.

Re: Orxonox End-of-Semester Review

1. What should be a strategic long term goal of Orxonox. To become a fun game with an interesting story that keeps the player going. I think we should stick to the FPS / VS paradigm as it attracts both FPS and VS gamers. I never would have thought I'd say this, but the vertical scroller as it is no...

I can confirm that. Beni knows about the solid HUD and said that it was easy to fix. The second thing is more annoying as I have no idea where it could come from. The explosion you see at the end is implemented exactly the same as the explosion at the end of the intro sequence on the moon. So there ...

(to x: -6.640292; y: 3.334079; z: -0.004783 lenght: 7.430315 ) EDIT: (solved:) All the cameras were subscribed to the PEV_VIEW0 event. When you pressed "1" all cameras were set to the relative c...

A "svn up" in the data should fix this.
