Hi guys,

A good number of the example projects also crash immediately ( including CleanseCube, Steering, TripleE, YakYakReader, ZPong ). Here's the error message for ZBlast.zgeproj

Hi jinxtengu, I'm interested in learning how to populate an array with a random sequence of numbers, but importantly I don't want it to repeat any of the same numbers twice. There are quite a few ways to do that, but here's one simple approach: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplicat...

Hi Ats, I tried making an apk out of the example, but it crashes right from the start. XInput is Windows only ( it's part of DirectX ) .. although unofficial drivers exist for Linux and Mac. I have a noob question: are the two rumbles you activate using the trigger buttons supposed to be left and ri...

Hi Ats, Does it detect digital pad and shoulders buttons too? I haven't tested it with every XInput compatible controller in existence .. but no problems ( for me ) so far :wink: https://i.imgur.com/DA7uOoY.gif Those were not working before. You have a controller that works with the built-in joystic...

8) For people that also want / need to support XInput* gamepads. Attached is a small wrapper & demo .. the left & right rumble motors are tied to the left & right analog triggers ( for demonstration purposes ). *XInput only supports XInput compatible devices, while the build-in joystick functions do...

Hi Ats, I just read that article and find the rendering very smooth. Is it possible to achieve something like this in ZGE using shaders? Sure, you can just ( pretty much ) copy-paste the fragment shader. Thing is though, that this is a technique useful with runtime procedural textures. So unless tha...

Hi Luis, There's a couple of ways to do this, but generally you want to calculate ( or look-up ) the appropriate texture coordinates for each cube "type". See attached file for a basic example. The thing is though .. since Minecraft uses so many cubes it isn't really viable ( performance-wise ) to r...

Would it be easy to load the bitmaps from an external file instead of embedded?

The principle is easy .. but since ZGE doesn't have any image decoders built-in ( aside from a JPG subset ) it really depends on the image format(s) that you want to support whether or not it's easy.

Hej Ville, The problem iirc is that these lines are not supported on GLES: glGetFloatv(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, @Matrix); glGetFloatv(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, @TmpM); Those calls are supported in ES 1.1, so that shouldn't be the problem ( since i think Ats is using "Compatible" GLBase ). Regardless, you sh...

Hi dytract, im trying to make effects for the zGameEditor Vistualizer, and I wanna know if I can use this SDK to do that. Yup, effects for ZGameEditor Visualizer ( the plugin included with FL Studio ) are created using ZGameEditor. You can start by using one of the "New project" templates that targe...

Hi Ats, Oh, by the way, the purpose is to generate sky gradients on the fly, the sky gradient could be a 64x64 bitmap with a 4096*4096 noise generated only once and blended into i,t if that could help for the speed. But is it possible to blend two materialTextures of different sizes inside a materia...

Hej Ville, Super cool & wild idea! Some notes regarding the Master System / Game Gear target. - Non-Japanese ROMs actually require a header at the end, which includes a ROM size descriptor nibble .. so ROMs needs to be padded. - The VDP can only handle VRAM writes every 29 cycles outside of the VBla...

Hi Fate, Can I sell games made with ZGameEditor? Because it says in the website that the source itself is under MIT License. But I'm wondering about the games the software itself produces (or compiles). Sure! Of course you can sell games made with ZGE ... no revenue caps, royalties or mandatory spla...

Hi jinxtengu, But I do have one other question, how do we invert a value, to turn it from a positive to a negative and vice versa? The simplest method is to just use put a negative sign in front of your variable, but any of these will work ... value = -value; value = 0-value; value *= -1; value = va...

Is the Player.bin from latest ZGE working for you?

Same problem here ( 1.309.1271.0 definitions ) ...
