Hi Guys
Play around with AppGameKit Studio 0.50beta

What will be the correct code for moving between scenes.
If have this code (In the main loop, but don't seems to work



// Project: testbackground
// Created: 19-03-29

// show all errors
SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle("testbackground")
SetWindowSize(1024, 768, 0)
SetWindowAllowResize(1) // allow the user to resize the window

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution(1024, 768) // doesn't have to match the window
SetOrientationAllowed(1, 1, 1, 1) // allow both portrait and landscape on mobile devices
SetSyncRate(30, 0) // 30fps instead of 60 to save battery
SetScissor(0, 0, 0, 0) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts(1)
global activescene

#include "mainscreen.scene"


do
spritehit=GetSpriteHit(GetPointerX(),GetPointerY())
if getpointerpressed() = 1
if spritehit = mainscreen_exitbtn
exit
elseif spritehit = mainscreen_backg1btn
#include "movebackground1.scene"
activescene = 1
elseif spritehit = mainscreen_backg2btn
#include "bacground2.scene"
activescene = 2
endif
endif
sync()
mainscreen_sync()
if activescene = 1
movebackground1_sync()
endif
if activescene = 2
bacground2_sync()
endif
loop



Thanks

Sorry
Had a complete brainfreeze
I suppose deleteallsprites(), and deleteallimages() will do the job

Duh!!!
Time for a break...

Hi Danny,

Yes you can do that for now , i will add a scene_cleanup() for the next version

Cool. If you can add scenefading i.e. fading into and out of scenes it would help with the overall look and feel of finished apps.

I think a better way than fading into another scene... is like the simple movie maker windows had possed in the past.

a small editor likes a window with the ability to:
1. select the animation between scenes and between particular scenes such as moving back to the main menu should be different from one level to another.
2. the ability to customize the Tween Animation, so well I think that is the answer a bit of better tween animation commands, adding the createTweenScene and playTweenScene
3. an editor like mention in 1 with the ability of the Tween Commands I think is the best solution for too many reasons which the best of them is 1 the ability to customize everything and 2nd to make it like the normal tween, good for coding and best for cross-platform as it depends on a Timer rather than FPS

and well.. the ability to select individual elements inside a Scene and manipulate them through the scene crossing.

I would like to recommend in order to keep the Tier1 syntax consistent, name it SceneCleanup() instead of scene_cleanup().
I would also recommend to add SceneGoTo("scene ID or Name") command, so it would go ahead, clean the current scene and setup and load the next one entered between the () just for convenience.

However, the next thing most people going to request is the ability to be able to pause/save the current scene, go to another and then be able to go back to a paused/saved scene anytime. So I would also recommend to look in to this scenario and add ScenePause() or SceneSave() command, that is going to save the current scene at the current state permanently. You probably don't want to overwrite the original data however, in case the player want to start a new game from fresh. So you more likely want to save an instance of the current scene and maybe add a command SceneResume("scene ID or name") that is going to look for an instance of the scene with the given name or ID rather than the original. If no instance found, that could mean the given scene has not been paused/saved before and could add a fall back option to load the original data then or add an overload so we can choose if we want it to fall back to original scene if no instance found or not. Something like SceneResume("ID or Name", bool fallback).
Or simply let us save an instance of the current scene with a selected name. Something like SceneSave("name") which is going to save an instance of the current scene at the given name, and then we could load this scene as any other scenes.

Since you already considering to work on this area of "switch scenes", I figured I mention this and suggest to consider it and get it out of the way now for convenience.
I think it would be very useful.

Thanks.

Is the #include part where the scenes are loaded into memory?
