Re: 8-bit ASCII retro game tool

I want to get this tool up as an example of game making tools on LiveCodeGameDev but in short efficient posts of working stacks and code, and of course it should be useful to more people than the handful that know what an Aquarius computer is. Oh you want to try the Aquarius computer for yourself wi...

Re: 8-bit ASCII retro game tool

Ouch 20 views, and I don't even have screenshots up yet. Well here's screenshots plus the 3 alpha level stacks attached. Currently I'm using a grid of Graphics controls in the character editor and that works ok in an 8x8 grid. Then I experimented with the drawing program which selects actual text in...

8-bit ASCII retro game tool

I'm making a little drawing and layout tool for an old 8-bit computer system. It's coming along pretty good in pieces, but I feel like I'm bungling about a bit, so I thought I'd post around and see if some suggestions come my way on how to make things better before I get too deep. Ok a quick explana...

Re: Game design required

Keep it simple. It only has to work and be fun for a few seconds. Try 3 card monty. 3 cards. Player chooses one, it flips and reveals the card face. It flips again then the cards move around and shuffle. Then the game asks to guess which card is the previous card and the player gets to guess. You ca...

But you can see in the code below I get the window bounds from revs windowboundingrect . This reads by default on an iMac at my res: 0,50,1436,900 So to get your titlebar under...

Look for " /Resources/Examples/" inside the Revolution folder. Full path might look something like : "/Applications/Revolution Studio/2.7.4/Resources/Examples/" That will change depending on license and version. The files I'm seeing at the moment are: Deep Mask Sampler.rev U3 Documentation.pdf Zip B...

Re: Another 3D Possibility using the irrlicht engine?

It's my first external and indeed my first posting and I realize I have no business being in this section of the forum. so be gentle! Kudos to you, you have every right to stand up and be noticed. The so called Uber-Masters and the company itself don't seem too interested in bringing 3D to rev at a...

Here are some more video demonstrations of iGame3D.
These are rendered out of 3D itself so, there is no sound, enjoy the eye candy.

Simple dragging of vertices

Here's a little (50MB) demonstration of iGame3D in use. I create some quads, do a little extursion, some scaling, rotation, duplication, drop mesh tool, drag and drop model and level loading, and flying around with the keyboard. And of course reveal some bugs in my rev scripts occasionally. Enjoy. i...

Perhaps check under the Edit menu for "Select Grouped Controls"

When this is unchecked then you can select grouped objects, otherwise it selects individual objects in or out of the groups.

Wish there was a keyboard command for that, or cool Adobe type "closed arrow, open arrow" tool in the palette.
