It's a matter of opinion I guess. Personally I prefer choosing resolution before the application begins because I can select from the start if I want to run it in fullscreen or not. But I agree that a in-game menu is much prettier and professional (and cross-platform). Email me the code and I can ta...

You can use the embedded-property on the File to avoid depending on the file in runtime.

The code is translated from C: http://www.unchainedgeometry.com/jbloom/papers.html As far as I know this is a standard marching cubes algorithm. I actually did tons of research (bought two books on this topic alone) before attempting this, but I wanted to start with an algorithm that had source code...

Wow, another cool new feature by Kjell! Only worry now is that our source code may become too far out of sync. I must put up a public Subversion soon, this will make syncing much easier. Another concern is if changeresolution really is necessary now when we have the startup dialog? I imagine you had...

Oh, I see. Yes the current implicit surface algorithm will only render a single surface. I assume this is why many meta-ball demos always keep the spheres in contact. I will read that article/source you've posted kattle, let me know if you experiment with it and find something useful.

I read about that game in EDGE-magazine. The article said it was still little more than a tech-demo, and that the actual gameplay was yet to be decided. Seeing the video I've got to say I think it looks very cool in motion and could be real fun to play if they get it right. Please post a picture or ...

The stacking system is very powerful and elegant for content creation. As I've said before Werkkzeug is really what kicked me into starting the ZGE project to begin with. Though I much prefer a standard Windows GUI over the Amiga-style gui they use. Have you made any projects with werkkzeug, jph?

I'm glad you solved it. Great avatar you got there turshija!

An NDS-port of ZGE could certainly be investigated as Freepascal, SDL and OpenGL are available for NDS although in down-stripped form. A interactive editor for bitmaps in ZGE-designer would be nice. The editor could generate lists of BitmapRects and code for BitmapExpressions. I once had an idea tha...

When I first started working on ZGE I did consider using a Buzz-style interface like you describe. Several shader-editors use this interface as well. But in the end I went for the explorer-tree view that the ZGE-designer use today because I think it's easier to use and more logical for the kind of c...

Thanks! No more fixes tonight, I'm going out for a beer now

It was my friend Peter the graphics card expert who told me this a year ago, and he said that wireframe should be made with shaders instead. But I'm not sure how the situation is today. Performance of wireframe seems good enough on my two computers (nvidia and intel onboard).

Found the problem. Fixed in next release!

Strange it seems to only crash at runtime and not in preview. But I remember there being some magic happening about mixer-properties so I will take a look at that.

I don't remember why I set it to 4 :) . But sure a WireframeWidth property is easy to add so I will make it for next release. The trouble with wireframe in general is that (at least earlier) some graphics drivers do not accelerate wireframe at all (because it is so rarely used in games, the mainstre...
