This is a bug that must have reappeared when moving the source-repository.

I've checked in a change to the file uTinyGif.pas that solve the problem, hopefully for good this time.

Hi and welcome ggplay! The info you want is here: http://www.zgameeditor.org/index.php/ComponentRef/ZApplication DeltaTime and MousePosition are not functions, they are properties of the ZApplication-component. When you make a new project there is always a ZApplication-component named "App"...

Nice work. Thanks for sharing the source too, that can help other ZGE-users.

If you have time later when you have finished the game I'd appreciate if you report any bugs/suggestions from your first experience in using ZGE.

And welcome to the zge-forums, btw ;)

Just a quick update to report that the situation has improved remarkably thanks to two product I've bought.

idea should be: pass the address of array incremented of the index to the parser, right? Yes a new component for the zge expression runtime, something like a LoadArrayPtr. The array itself is a property on the component, the indices are popped of the stack. It then calculates the actual adress (arr...

Looks interesting Kjell. I guess this is a possibility for 2d-arrays of numeric values. With some hacking in the zexpression-parser the arrays can be used from expressions. Send me the source if you want to, or you could start a new array-thread and attach it there.

Many (most?) users already have dotnet on their computers. Microsoft wants it to be there so you almost have to actively choose not to have it to avoid it. But yes it would be a dependency that ZGE currently does not have. The generated exe-files would still be self-contained without external depend...

It is a good idea. Benefits: - full power and performance - no need to invent a new language or compiler However there are also some drawbacks: - every ZGE user needs to install a compiler on their computer. No more a simple unzip-to-install installation of the ZGE-environment. - the installed compi...

Nice work Kjell! You know me, I always need to ask the boring question: when is this feature useful? :) Just so that we can measure the increased code size/complexity against the features usefulness and decide whether it is worth including in the main build. And about the other changes you've made p...

Another approach: Read data into a variables called LevelTilesWidth and LevelTilesHeight. The first two characters cannot be ascii numbers (like "42") because you cannot parse strings to numeric. However you can use ascii codes, using 32 as zero to avoid control characters. So a zexpressio...

Thanks guys. Actually some people with this problem use voice dictation software so I might need to try that if this gets worse. It would feel like a sci/fi-movie programming with your voice, hehe... And please take a minute to consider your own work environment because you don't want this to happen...

Haha, sorry I thought it was Kjell :) I read it too quickly. Good to see you're up to speed with the code too kattle!
I blame the mistake on the heat here in stockholm at the moment.
