the problem is that LoadObject, LoadImage or OpenToRead only load or read something in the subfolder "media" of the read or write folders... so i can't use an arbitrary path, even with a custom file chooser (which will prevent only the "auto copy" of the ChooseRawFile command). I can't insert an intermediate "media" folder everywhere on my hard disks :p

You can use SetRawWritePath() before these commands to access folders outside the media folder.

i would like to see a function explorer in the ide
such as in Eclipse
you can see all of the functions in a small part of the main ide...
that could really fasten development then if I click on one function it will move me into the code area of that function.

speaking of tier 1 ..

If GameGuru get's Cube mapping
Who ever creates the News wrote: "We've also experimented with introducing cube mapping too"

Are we going to get it also ?
Will be useful to make 8 point light shadows instead of one as we are limited to 0-7 samplers or for other environment mapping techniques

I believe they are not persistent because they are a direct implementation of the OpenGL commands.

I also think it would be a nice-to-have, my workaround is to have a sprite with a render image.

Paul, I've noticed a glitch. When using editbox commands in landscape mode, you don't have the ability to re-position or alter the edit box at all. In portrait mode everything works fine, but it all breaks in Landscape.

Edit: This is apparently not possible to do, which is a shame, but I thought I'd put an edit here so people know to just seek a workaround!

Can we have the option to set a minimum window size please: SetMinimumWindowSize(width, height)

The window would stop resizing when it hits the minimum size allowed. Almost every desktop program stops at some point when shrinking the window. On a Mac you can shrink the AppGameKit app right down until only the red, yellow, and green round window buttons are visible.

There seems to be quite a lot of requests - some maybe easy coding to do, some maybe difficult and "addionals"

Ok, we all want the next ultimate game engine at low cost

most requests may not even be possible...Don't wanna give Paul an Hernia or heart attack

From what I understand Paul is purely AppGameKit - 1 man band... one thing at a time

CreateObjectFromHeightMap()

16-bit greyscale support plz, 256 levels is pretty clumsy when doing a height-map, smoothing creates way too many "mounds" instead of features.

It would be very helpful to have commands that show the collision shapes for sprites.
ShowCollisionShape(spriteID)
ShowAllCollisionShapes()

They would show the box, circle or polygon that define the collision shape for each sprite. Perhaps with an optional colour parameter.

Time to celebrate...

SetPhysicsDebugOn
The debug output will draw the shape of every physics sprite set using SetSpritePhysicsOn and all non physics sprites that have a shape assigned for non-physics collision commands. The shapes will be drawn in the following colors: Cream=Dynamic physics object, Green=Static physics object, Dark Blue=Kinematic physics object, Light Blue=Non-physics object. Grey=Sleeping dynamic physics object. Additionally physics objects will be drawn as shaded with an outline, non-physics objects will be an outline only.

Thanks Mr Bat,

I'm not using physics so I wasn't expecting to find my solution under the physics command list.
That looks like it will do the job though,

A IDE included library for created functions / program code would be great,
so that the user can add functions / programm code to it and comment them briefly.

Hello,
Please add function to set pointer location into Tier 1. Currently there is only get pointer location methods and without set it is impossible to make first person mouse look when you need recenter mouse position to get delta move. Currently when you reach one of sides with mouse pointer you cant get any delta anymore and there is no way to programaticaly recenter pointer.

Probably set pointer will make sense in windows/mac version as on mobiles you just drag finger from center always.

Thanks for considering this new feature.

Edit: My bad. Ignore this. Just found raw input methods where I can set mouse cursor pos. Sorry I was blind.

The problem there is you can make a shell application and then write AppGameKit games without having to buy it. Anybody could resell AppGameKit as their own.

Not if the compiled scripts need to be included in the game in the same way #include does for plain text files.

So instead of:


This:



Also:

CreateObjectFromHeightMap(), support for alpha channel AND possibility to create object from image ID, not from disk, this makes it possible to manipulate heightmap from memory.

Quote: "Sync_while_keeping_backbuffer -> e.g. Synckb ()"

Quote: "EnableClearColor / EnableClearDepth

Description

Sets whether the frame/Depth buffer should be cleared when Sync or Swap are called. By default this is set to true. The only reason to call this command is if you have a background sprite, or set of sprites, that completely cover the screen so the background color will never be visible. In these cases some GPUs can benefit from turning the clear color off. Please note that in many cases the last drawn frame will remain on screen, however, this is not guaranteed, and you should not create effects that rely on it as they may not work in future, and won't work on mobile devices. To create effects that maintain the contents of the previous frame it is recommened that you use SetRenderToImage to capture the output of one frame and then draw it into the next frame, i.e. you render everything to image 1, then in the next frame you paste image 1 into the background of a new render target and then draw the new frame. For example draw everything in frame 1 to image 1, then in frame 2 you draw image 1 with a full screen Quad object to image 2, and then draw everything in frame 2 to image 2. You can then swap the render targets so in frame 3 you draw image 2 with a full screen quad back into image 1, then draw the objects in frame 3 to image 1. Continue to alternate between image 1 and 2, so frame 4 would first have image 1 drawn with a full screen quad to image 2, then draw everything in frame 4 to image 2. It is important to not continue drawing everything to the same image, i.e. draw frame 1 to image 1, then frame 2 to image 1, and so on because mobile devices use an internal deferred renderer that will keep an ever increasing list of things to draw to image 1. If the image is never cleared then performance will degrade."

( Windows )

SetWindowAllowResize( 1 ) needs to be fixed, it sets the 1,1 coordinate to something like 5,5


Compare


SetWindowAllowResize( 0 ) // <=== the key line

SetErrorMode(2) : SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 ) : SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) : SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) : SetSyncRate( 30, 0 ) : SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) : UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 )

do : drawline (1,1,200,1,255,255,0) : drawline (1,1,1,200,255,255,0) : sync() : loop // this code works right, coordinates start at 1,1


TO

This has probably been requested before, but man I'd love to see the broadcaster app have a console output which links in with some logging commands in the language so that we can see real-time console output from the broadcasted app back in the IDE.

Have you tried Log() in debug mode?
It's basic but gives you the ability to log data and also to create a watch window of variables.

Yep, that works quite well. But what I'd like to see is that Log data be sent back to the IDE's Debug Log while Broadcasting to device, as the environment shifts a lot when running an app on-device vs running it on the PC.

Another quick feature request which would make my UI work a hell of a lot easier... Some sort of HIDEALLTEXT() and SHOWALLTEXT() command set.

I know I could make a function that looks for them and hides them, but it'd be nicer to have a command set.
