This is a good suggestion and would prove enormously useful, but was never part of the AppGameKit V2 roadmap so I'd say it's unlikely at least until the rest of the listed Kickstarter goals are implemented.

If you are working in Tier 2, you can more or less include any library you want. The trick is working out what you need for cross platform compatibility. I think there are libraries/SDKs/Framework. available for all of the covered platforms.

I haven't tried this, but, in theory, it should work.

@ xCept - I agree, SQLITE has no dependencies, is v fast and v flexible - the obvious solution for databases that are extremely useful for anything of substance in a cross-platform game...

@ Ancident Lady - yes, but I am lazy and talentless... I really think that SQLITE commands should form part of the tier 1 core commands and functions. But my fault for not mentioning it sooner...

Duffer, my bad. I misread the subject and thought you were working in Tier 2 (my eyes saw the '2' after 'AGK' and moved it along to combine with 'tier' to make me think it said 'tier2').

@ Ancient Lady,

No worries - maybe the developers will read this and take pity.

I suspect it wouldn't take much (after all the essentials are implimented of course!) to introduce just the few SQLITE 3 commands/functions in Tier1....

Looking at the file format it wouldn't take a super genius to create some commands. It would take someone who is interested in such things though... which I'm not.
