If you haven’t used TortoiseSVN or just need some tip on getting the project to your computer, here’s a quick guide:

NOTE: This project is based on Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express. I’ll try get other versions of the project running on ‘older’ Visual studios.

– Download and install the new version of TortoiseSVN. It’s sometimes better keeping Tortoise updated regulary. It will inform you if your version is out-dated anyway. It’s free to use too.

– TortoiseSVN builds into the windows shell extension. After installation just simply right-click on your desktop or in a folder and TortoiseSVN menu link will be made available.

– Highlight the TortoiseSVN link and select Repo-browser

– On the URL type http://agtengine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and click ok.

– This will open up the browser and the files to my project.

– All the codes are found in the /trunk directory. You may view the contents of the trunk by clicking on the plus sign next to the folder. To get a copy of the whole project, right-click on the /trunk folder and select Checkout…

– Set the checkout directory. Create a new directory in your drive if need be. Leave the rest of the options alone and click OK.

– This will download the files in the trunk folder to the specified folder in your drive.

– Open the folder or refresh it to view the files. From here on you can simply update the project by right-clicking on the folder and select SVN Update. This will update your version to the newest committed version.

– Other things to look at is the log notes on the project. This can be viewed by right-clicking on the folder, highlight TortoiseSVN and selecting Show log.

– This will show all the addition/deletion/modifications of the files on the project , and comments on each revision.

You may run the project file and build it. I have created the framework so that it only requires OGRE include and lib files. You should be able to run the build and execute the program after downloading, if you have the right version of Microsoft Visual C++. Changes cannot be committed for obvious reasons.

Hopefully this serves as good logging tool for my project, useful for the tutors that will be marking this work at the end of the uni year, and for everyone else interested in the work. With SVN you can simply update to a certain revision and all the files changes will be managed automatically.

Okay I need sleep ~_~
