ZGameEditor forum

Werkzeug is a very impressive tool, it is one of my main inspirations for making ZGameEditor in the first place. I'm not too happy with the user interface in Werkzeug though. I want applications to be as intuitive as possible to use, ideally so that no tutorials or documentation are needed. And unfo...

The full source code for ZGameEditor is now available from the Download page!

Thanks for those links, they look interesting! Hopefully they do not add too much in size to exe-files.

ZGE is getting close to becoming open source. Then it will be easy for other developers to try integrating other libraries too.

Changes in 1.7.1 version: * Fixed: The collision code that FpsDemo make use of contained a bug which could make the player get stuck in walls. * Fixed: CleanseCube-demo did not work on Linux and Osx because of a bug in MeshCube.

Hey Kattle this looks promising!

Hope you finish it (and still manage your college studies ) !

Changes in 1.7.0 version: * New sample project: FPSDemo demonstrates how to create a 3D game. * New feature: ZGameEditor now has a cross-platform runtime engine: "Make your projects run under Linux and Mac OS X" . * Improved: 3D-collision new CollisionStyle "Box3D". Check out the...

Yep this is a bug alright :) You are correct in guessing that ZGE draws objects in the order of their categories, and in spawn-order for each category. In 2d-games this has not been a problem yet but for 3d-games it quickly becomes insufficient. The correct way is to sort in z-order before rendering...

should i be able to store a value used in the shader code in a variable, and use that value in other places like conditions? I don't believe shaders can be used that way. Shader-code run in parallell for many pixels/vertices at a time, so you cannot calculate things like most-left vertex X. Also th...

Is there any way to check if a vertex of a model is entering an area? Something like the V.Z in "MeshExpression" EG: if i have a rotating cube, how can i be sure it has touched a wall? If i could get X,Y and Z coordinates of every vertex i could easily do this... :/ You would need the tra...

I've created a "Your projects" forum and move the topics that have screenshots or zgeproj-files attachments to the new forum.

Your projects

Please go ahead and post your stuff there, it is fun to see how ZGE is used!

Ah ok you mean a normal multi-dimensional array.

A forum-group for project showcase is a good idea! I will set it up soon so you can post screenshots

edit: Ok "Your projects" is created!

1. Arrays. I agree that this is very much needed :). I was thinking about rewriting the scripting to support many more language features such as arrays, local variables, loops etc. But this will take a long time. Maybe I will find a way to make arrays separately. About making a breakout-clone: the o...

Hi and welcome Guna, Thanks for the supportive comments! i) Can we sell to people the games created using ZGE? Yes. ii) If it is free, do we need to show your info in this game? Yes, at the minimum please put a link to ZGE-website in an readme-file with your game. iii) Do we need to pay royalty? No,...

Changes in 1.6.0 version: * New feature: ZGameEditor now supports import and playback of sampled audio files! Check out the new properties on the Sound-component "Sample playback properties" . * New feature: 3D-collision between models. Check out the updated documentation for Model-compone...

Hi Kattle87,

Good suggestions. I promise next release will have at least sphere vs sphere collision tests.

So on the models you want 3d-collision tests you set a new property:
Model1.CollisionStyle=Sphere3D

And CollisionBounds will then only use one value: the radius. Just as you suggest.
