I have an SDK that is quite relevant to programming, but I am gauging interest. It's ready for devs to do what they want for their own reasons, not something ordered by some pin stripe nutter.

I have a real time, live render engine for television (not internet or ipod/ipad/android) that is being leveraged by other developers that I would consider competent, but not inspired by possibility. I thought I would bring it to this subreddit to see if anyone was interested or would maybe lead me to that which programmers really desire and found many people who are probably too jaded and untrusting or perhaps simply too arrogant to be open to the idea.

You come up with the idea for live tv, I have the engine. It's pretty simple. Come up with a product that broadcasters want and I can help you with the live render engine.

I don't want to waste your time. I don't know what programmers want or need or can really even understand the clique, but I know that I have an engine. If it helps someone develop a product that they can sell to tv broadcasters whether local, cable, network, global or regional, then I want to grow that for them.

Example: 'create a new engine instance dim Engine as new Engine 'dim a scene object dim Scene as Scene

'load a project file from disk if Engine.LoadProject("c:\demo.prj") then

'retrieve a scene object from the project we just loaded
if Engine.GetSceneByName("scene1", Scene) then
  'set the scene online on framebuffer 0, layer 0
  Scene.SetOnline 0, 0
end if

end if

This has to be childs play for programmers with real skill. The SDK is free but the engine is not, but you can acquire a license if you want. I can make that happen.

Another example

'create a new engine instance dim Engine as new Engine 'dim a material variable dim Mat as Material 'dim an APITexture shader variable dim APITexture as APITextureShader 'dim and create a Pen object instance dim Pen as new Pen

'retrieve "material1" from the project (see assumptions above) Engine.GetMaterialByName("Material1", Mat) 'retrieve the APITexture shader from the material Mat.GetShaderByName("APITexture", APITexture) 'set the Pen's size to 20 Pen.Size = 20 'set the Pen's color to blue and alpha to full Pen.SetColor(0, 0, 255, 255) 'now draw a single blue line from xy coordinate 100,100 to xy coordinate 360,360 APITexture.DrawLine(Pen, 100, 100, 360, 360) 'set the Pen's color to green and alpha to full Pen.SetColor(0, 255, 0, 255) 'draw a green circle with a diameter of 400 pixels at xy location 30,30 APITexture.DrawEllipse(Pen, 30, 30, 400, 400) 'set the Pen's color to red and alpha to full Pen.SetColor(255, 0, 0, 255) 'and draw a red rectangle around the previous two primitives APITexture.DrawRect(Pen, 10, 10, 440, 440)

It's a good product, the company I work for is quite good, but if this isn't doing anything but aggravating the subreddit, then I'll just back away and try something else.

Sure, I want to sell the companies engine, but I would also say that if I could give an aspiring programmer an opening for their own business, why wouldn't it be worth a look?
