Depending on how you do it I would be interestted. Decrypting a memblock then loading the image and deleting it takes time.

I personally don't care if someone wants my media because I get it from open source sites and paid.

The paid media is required to be encrypted and would love too see a speedy decryption method.

All being said I'd rather you work on other stuff first

Encrypting media is something that we can do ourselves so I would prefer it if Paul were to concentrate on the things that we can't do ourselves.

Support of the VS 2015 possibly also 2013 and 2010 EXPRESS versions. Yes also VS 2015 has an EXPRESS version now.
The community version is not 100% free if you want to sale the programm at the end.

Some of the functions return a spriteid. It would be good if you could store some data with the sprite. something like;
SetSpriteData(id, string)
string=GetSpriteData(id)
This way i don't need a table lookup to correlate a spriteid to it's intended use. I can get it directly from the sprite

I tested the sensor commands on diffrent devices and came to the point, that the frequency of the sensors are quite diffrent in AGK. In fact, there should be:
SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST
SENSOR_DELAY_GAME
SENSOR_DELAY_UI
SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL
as a setting to modify the frequency. I managed to find out, that the accelerometer has a really low standard frequency in AppGameKit on some platforms, is not usable
inside the rotation vector function, because of the delay and wrong measurements. I would really like to get the sensor frequency to "SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST", or better a command to set each sensor on a certain state, to improve the acuracy of the AppGameKit accelerometer and rotation vector commands.

BTW: Is there a work-around in T1/T2?

EDIT: Magically the StartGPSTracking() command repairs the acceleration sensor acuracy but the rotation vector is still delayed and jumps on my S7 (Working on the S3)

With AppGameKit and Vive having a fierce competition, It'll do wonder to AppGameKit if it supports Oculus in Tier 1.

Just imagine, and easy to learn programming language that makes games within minutes with one-click-deploy-all, and WITH VR support, people would be crazy not to get AGK.

Especially now that VR has just began to flourish, it's the perfect time to rope in all the people interested in it, and let them grows VR apps here.
Starts early, and let AppGameKit be the centre for VR apps development.
Had to beat Unity and it's obnoxious licencing.

Soooooo

Please make AppGameKit support Oculus.

Until it gets included, here is the function:


It will return -1 for anything less than zero, 1 for anything above zero and 0 if it is equal to zero

[Edit]It's a force of habit to create an integer and float version of a math function but it isn't necessary with this so you can just use the one above[/Edit]

[Edit2]I take that back - You do need a float version if you are looking at a value between -1 and +1, so here it is (it's almost identical!):

The encryption of media would be really good - it's clearly wanted by many people. I'd like TGC to think it through encryption generally carefully before proceeding so it's an easy to use and flexible system that will cover most situations. For example including text files written out by a programme (eg player's progress files) so that can't be abused.

I'd like to be able to offers my players the option to login to their user account using facebook or google. Simple enough to do as I'm using Parse server, but we need to get the authentication token passed by facebook/google during the login.

Could we expose this to AppGameKit so that we can use it?

Thanks.

what about adding some extra features to AppGameKit player ?
I can think of one that is really good

Load Last Played

so if I'm coding and need to go out
I can have the latest build without the need to broadcast it , so I can show off or just look at it while I'm away ..

and what if you could run about 5 latest considering you are working on different projects it will save only the latest of each kind (name)...

I would love to see this feature on it could really make my life easier if I can beta test stuff as I go finding bugs etc...

thank you for your time reading this

.dds image support.

Think its already in assimp so.

Would make it mush easier when using .x objects that normally use .dds textures.

catch windows messages , example:
window close event, allow will continue to system , disallow clears event and window stay open.
so we can pop up a message dialog and prevent unwanted save game state loss in window mode if user hit x button.

I think it would be cool to get commands that control a phones vibration.

Having something like that opens up possibilities for a fishing game with vibration feedback. Shooting weapons or taken damage... All sorts of possibilities.

This is probably quite farfetched, but it would really great if we can make external plugins for AppGameKit, as community-made plugins, like in DBPro.

If someone can use Tier 2, that means they can probably make whatever they want, even if it's not in Tier 1 ability.
Someone using Tier 1 will never be able to use extra plugins outside of what already in Tier 1.

But in DBPro, people can make a plugin in C++, and share them for use in BASIC language.

Isn't this really constricting?
I mean, there is no way for Tier 1 community to improve their arsenal with external plugin.

I think AppGameKit will be able to be expanded greatly if we can make community-made plugins, like DBPro.
That way, extra features will not be burdened on Paul, and he can concentrates on core matters.
And community can accelerates AppGameKit development too with their plugins.

It's been requested many times, even by myself about a month after AGK1 was release all those years ago. I suggested 'precompiling' tier 1 code into a non human readable format which can then be #included like any other source file. it's not true plugin support, but it will allow people to create services/functions which can be sold without giving away the precious source code.

We need a SetTweenDuration() function. Right now we can only specify the duration of a tween upon creation of it. So if I want a particular tween to last 2 seconds the first time it is ran, then 5 seconds the next time, I have to delete and create entirely new tweens when this should be a simple adjustment of the duration.

I see that media encryption and pack files get mentioned quite a bit. We can allready do a lot with memblocks but it would be great if we could load images from a memblock in .png format.
That way we could create a memblock with several .png images instead of raw image data. That would keep the filesize small.
It could work like the LoadImage command but the image loads from a memblock instead of a file.

Something like this:
integer = LoadImageFromMemblock( memID, firstByte, lastByte)
LoadImageFromMemblock( imgID, memID, firstByte, lastByte)

And maybe something similar for other file formats as well (sound, music, 3D objects etc... )

It would be nice to have a function to set a shader uniform array in one go.

Something like this:
For Tier1:
SetShaderConstantFromMemblock(shdID, uniformName, memID)

For Tier2:
agk::SetShaderConstantFromMemblock(shdID, uniformName, memID);

or for direct access via AGKShader
AGKShader::SetConstantByName(uniformName, memPtr, componentCount);

Share your knowledge. It\'s a way to achieve immortality. (Tenzin Gyatso)

First of all a huge "Thank You!" to Paul and all the guys at TGC, for continually supporting and improving AppGameKit.

I would like to ask The Game Creators to consider 2 things for AppGameKit in the future (if possible):

a) Multiplayer Gaming support via Game Center for iOS
b) Integrating Steam achievements & multiplayer commands

Just a thought, and again "Thank You!" to TGC.

My request...

LUA bindings for the AppGameKit API.

The current simple basic scripting language is terrible, adding a more sophisticated scripting language would attract a much larger audience IMHO. Also various IDEs, such as Sublime support LUA out of the box.
