Some quick news about the current progress of the template :
I am completely rewriting it.

As I was adding new features to the template, I noticed that it became hard for beginners to understand and update it themselves later.
The 2.49 version of blender introduced a lot of things that can improve the template.
I want that template to be effective, light, a good learning resource for the beginners, compatible with 2.49 and making the best use of it.

Here is a bit of what I want to modify/improve :

• I want to make a better use of objects’s properties, global dictionary, and messages.
• There is no need for a message actuator anymore : sendMessage(subject, body, to, from) is what I was expecting.
  I will use it to clean the armature control system.
  I want to ‘disconnect’ a lot of objects and make a wide use of messages.
• The new ‘Tap’ sensor’s option will help a lot. No need for extra property to check if a key was pressed/released or not.
• There is this new « Sensor » object type that can help for getting rid of those extra rays that are checking if the player is grounded or not.
• I wanted to clean my scripts : I needed to learn a bit more of programming,, make a better use of functions, etc…
• I would like to add GLSL visual effects

Links :

• BGE DEV: New « Sensor » physics object for advanced collision management : thread on the BlenderArtists forum
  Blendiac provided a example .blend file
• 2.49 demo files

My ToDo List is much longer than that.
And this is pleasure to work on it.

Voilà!
