The project was targeting 4.6.2, which was the current version when
work first began. This update should not cause any change in behavior.
The only real value in doing this is that it means people working on
the project won't have to install the older SDK components.
This may require performing a manual "clobber" in existing source trees:
close Visual Studio, then in each of the seven projects, manually
remove the "bin" and "obj" directories. Using the VS "clean" feature
doesn't seem to clear out all of the dependencies, and you get weird
build complaints about missing System classes.
I'm not anticipating any compatibility issues with this switch.
Framework 4.8 shipped in April 2019, and the final version of .NET
Framework was released August 2022, so anybody who has Framework
installed should have a compatible version.
This change does not move the libraries from .NET Standard 2.0 to 2.1,
because 2.0 was the last version supported by Framework.
(At some point it might be useful to upgrade to the current .NET, but
that is a more significant change.)
The DVG format, used for vector games like Asteroids, is the
predecessor to the AVG graphics used in games like Battlezone.
Also, added some extended error checks on wireframe vertices.
Also, minor edits to the README and daily tips.
Replaced the link at the top of the manual. Remove reference to
old tutorial doc. Added an obsolescence notice to the top of the
old tutorial. Updated tutorial message and link in README.
Also, fixed sidenav style.
Once upon a time, symbol files and extension scripts could only be
defined in the RuntimeData directory, so having the documentation
there made sense. Since both of these things can now be defined in
project directories, the documentation belongs in the manual.
