Well I have just taken the plunge and bought AGK2 and the Making Games book for Windows and Android to go with it.
I already have Darkbasic Pro and produced a game called Colour Splash some time ago which was a colouring book for kids.
Looking forward to making some games for the android store.

Can't wait to get it downloaded and get started!

Any new starters released anything on the play store?
How did you find the process?

Congratulations for making the move from the Dark(Basic) side.
If you've made DBPro apps before, you'll be up and running in AppGameKit in no time.

The hardest bit is that it's not quite as functional yet.
The easiest bit is that things like bitmap fonts and screen resolution are done for you.

Hi,

thanks for the info and I have bookmarked that sight for the docs

I have a bit of a plan to first learn to use the software and syntax doing small programs and using my knowledge from DarkBasic Pro and then to look at creating a small game which I can then release for free to test and get things working and hopefully a bet of a rep. A good one that is lol.
The game making book I also bought should come in useful for this.

Then to look at maybe advertising in my next app or payment.

I used to work for a company called Prisma Software in the days of the Amiga and had around 6 childrens educational titles released in the shops like Paint Pot, Shopping Basket and Pepe's Garden. These were created using the good old Amos software and I didn't do too bad out of them money wise but then as things went on I got older and unfortunately got a regular job lol.
I may do a childrens range of titles like these as I have a few ideas and that's what I know best at the minute but hopefully I would like to get into games, 2D at first and maybe a retro style platform game.

Hopefully this will all come together with my 15 year old son who I am trying to teach to code etc with things like Darkbasic Pro, Python and the Raspberry Pi.

Quick question for the developers:
With the Linux version coming to completion would there be any plays to get it working on the Raspberry Pi?
This would be a great opportunity to get in on the Raspberry Pi scene and into schools.

Thanks again.

Hmmm, just thought of another question for the developers of AGK.

I have installed the software now on my PC, however would I also be able to install it on my laptop or would I need another copy or license to do this?
Just thinking so I can program on the move too.
No great shakes if I can't but just thought I would ask the question.

Thanks.

The previous answer has been that you can do this, as long as you are only using one of them at a time.

Any news on the Raspberry Pi?


Just been running some of the test programs and they broadcast well, this is fantastic. Lots of projects and potential

Cheers

Is it bad that I have it installed on my Mac and PC and am using both to simultaneously test my game on different platforms? I hope not

probably not as long as your the only person coding and testing... i think it becomes a conflict if your budy comes over to assist and uses one of your pc's with your copy installed.

i have it installed on 3 pc's but only use 1 at a time.

1 on my mac, 1 on my laptop, 1 on my desktop windows pc....

hopefully i can add another pc to the collection for linux...but again, im a 1 man show so i dont think im breaking the rules.

I have AppGameKit on four machines but I'm the only user. Seems to me that it's a single user license so that's fine also.

Seems to me that for a cross-platform development environment, this license would make a lot of sense (being that you have to compile Mac/iOS on a Mac, and Windows PC on a Windows box)!
