EPOC Framework now available

Just decided to make the entire EPOC Framework available for download…. head on over to the EPOC section

EPOC is short for Experimental Platform for Objectoriented C++

EPOC is a object oriented wrapper for Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL). It was originally designed to be used as a learning platform in university courses teaching beginner level C++ at Blekinge Institute of Technlogy.

Want to use Nvidia and ATI desktop display drivers on your laptop!?

I’ve waited for DELL to update the display drivers for my XPS M1730 for ages now. I’ve come to the conclusion that they never will update them. They just want to sell a system and then let it go. Big news you may think… well.

Yesterday I found a good solution for using the desktop variants of the ATI and Nvidia display drivers on my laptop. Driverheaven.net has developed a good program for modifying the desktop variants of ATI or Nvidia display drivers. It’s called mobility modder!

Just go to driverheaven.net and click tools in the menu. Choose the manufacturer of your liking and  download the mod tool. Follow the instructions and your on yourway… It worked for med with my Nvidia 8700M GT.

EPOC 0.9.3.1 is now available!!

Hi,

New version of EPOC is now finished. The new version contains some bugfixes but is mostly a complete restructure of EPOC.

  • Every prefix Ep is removed and a namespace EPOC is introduced instead.
  • Defines are replaced by constants, and some methods has been moved either to the correct classes or to the correct member access type.
  • Most of EPOC is commented and a better documentation is generated by Doxygen with collaboration diagrams generated by Graphviz.
  • Samples are updated to use the new version and it’s structure.
  • Static libraries, solution- and project files will be available for both VS8 and VS9.

The new version is NOT backwards compatible straight away… but you will only have to make some minor changes of your existing code to get it to work.

New way of reporting bugs in EPOC!

Now there’s a new way for you to report bugs that you can find in EPOC!

Head on over to EPOC page to read the details!

New version of EPOC comin’ up!

Hi,

Just wanted you to know that I’m currently working on a new version of EPOC bumped to v.0.9.2. This version will include some bug fixes and better structuring of the code.

This version and the corresponding samples will be available for following IDE’s

  • VS 2005
  • VS 2005 express
  • VS 2008 express

And there will of course be a new documentation for this version and it will contain more detail descriptions of what classes and methods do.

I’m also thinking of a complete remake of EPOC to remove the Ep prefix and make it use namespacesinstead. I don’t know when this will be realized though.
