The NWN related part of the wednesday site update at Bioware is a profile of Community Leader Lilac Soul. He's the guy who created the NWN script editor. Here's a part of this Q&A:
5. What were some of the challenges you encountered when creating this application?
Lilac Soul: The layout of the code was a bit of a challenge, because it needed to work in all cases. I thought about this, and decided that this could best be achieved by sacrificing cleanliness of the code. The generated code only uses a few variables, and reuses them over and over again - not pretty, but it works!
Also, the layout was a bit of a problem. I wanted something that was very easy to use - I could have added a lot more options (and probably will), but I always have to make sure that it doesn't get so complicated that the program just turns into an esoteric development environment itself.
Other than that, all challenges have been with the NWscript code - the code in Delphi for this program is exceedingly simple. |
