New website
Over the last few months I have been busy redesigning the website and we are finally live now. Check it out:
Grid Framework version 1.8.0 released
Version 1.8.0 of Grid Framework has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release introduces a new rendering shape for hex grid: the circle. Of course, like with polar grids, just because it's called a circle that does not mean you are limited to just circles, you can decide on the start and end "angle" or have a hole in the centre to create a ring.
Grid Framework version 1.7.4 released
Grid Framework version 1.7.4 has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release brings official support for Unity 5, so feel free to upgrade. Unity 4 is still supported, thanks to the changes to the Asset Store I can now upload separate packages for different versions of Unity.
Playable examples
I have added playable builds of the examples to the website, now you can click the title of an example and try the result out in the Web Player. To get back click on the Grid Framework examples label above the player. Just remember that you have to click into the player to get it to accept input.
Grid Framework version 1.7.2 released
Version 1.7.2 of Grid Framework has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release and the previous one provide bugfixes:
A homepage for Grid Framework
Grid Framework now has its own homepage:
Goodbye MonoDevelop, hello Vim
One thing that has been getting on my nerves ever since I started working with Unity has been MonoDevelop. While it is a good IDE for the most part it suffered from a number of annoying issues, such as folds randomly opening, poor performance, and auto completion randomly not working. Your mileage may vary, and for the most parts it was doing its job, but the annoying hiccups kept happening all the time.
