I've just completed the transition from "make" to "SCons" as
the Ca3DE build system, as well as the transition to Visual C++
2005 as the main Ca3DE compiler under Microsoft Windows.
SCons is a software construction tool that solves the problems
that are inherent to the traditional "make" tool ...
As a lot has been going on behind the scenes during the last few weeks and
months, but only little came through to the website or even the forums, so I
just want to give a small update on the current Ca3DE development status.
The planned Ca3DE TechDemo is the ...
I wish you all a

More wishes, a nice Christmas rendering and a tiny overview of the latest

The September 2005 SDK contained a minor bug in CaWE that made picking (mouse selection in the 3D views) impossible. I've just uploaded a new Ca3DE-MDK.zip file with a fixed version of CaWE. Thanks to Thrawn for the report!

(very good / best possible) to 5,0 (failed), I got a
1,0.
The German "diploma" is the equivalent to the international "masters degree" in
computer science. My thesis is titled "Methods for Real-Time ...
