Radiant Update

November 10, 2008 by Mark.

I held a bet with my brother to see who can guess the number of lines of code (or at least, close to it) my rendering engine is comprised of. Neither of us were close but I got a good sense of how much work went into this giant mash of code. About 25,000 lines is the total. That total is comprised of approximately 12,000 lines of computational code and about 13,000 lines of comments. This number does not include blank lines and such things. Regardless, it’s a staggering number for a project that is being worked on by one person, part time.

The engine itself is about 45% complete, with the majority of planning done. One of the components, my math module (it handles math stuffs and collision detection), is finally finished. I can breath a sigh of relief, it’s not easy stuff. Unfortunately I didn’t write any unit tests for it so I don’t know if it actually works or not. The project is open source. So, if anyone is masochistic enough to write a tests for my math module, by all means :).
