I have created this thread to share useful information about V108 Beta. This is NOT to report bugs which belong on the bugs board, after you've tried to work them out in the regular forum.. However, if you have a workaround that prevents a bug from stopping you developing, then you are welcome to post it.

I'll be deleting any bugs posted here.

Sprite Depth
This has changed, and negative numbers will now render your sprite invisible.

My previous code:

setSpriteDepth(gMouseIcon,-1001)

My V108 Code

setSpriteDepth(gMouseIcon,1)

I would request that people not report v108 Beta bugs on the bug board until you've tried to work them out in the regular forum. Especially since this is a Beta version and I've already run into one issue in the iOS projects (discussed in the beta v108 announcement thread).

Things posted in the bug board are investigated by the TGC AppGameKit Community Testers (of which I am one).

I haven't installed v108 Beta and I won't if I cannot keep my v1076 setup. v1076 is working fine for me and I am very close to finishing my first game (need to create the actual levels now). I don't want to give up my progress.

Cheers,
Ancient Lady

Physics Reset after Shape Change

This was probably a prior bug that is now corrected. If you change the shape of a physics sprite, it will lose all linear momentum that it had. Set the sprite shape early to avoid this issue.

Sync After Setting Physics Off

If you change any sprite properties between setting Physics off and Syncing, the physics will remain on. Sync immediately after!

Yes as Ancient Lady said i will not install 108 until i see there is a final version.
We have too much to loose if something goes wrong.
I wait if there are new changes for iOS.

Long life to Steve!

I've got all the released version of AppGameKit installed in different directories and I haven't had any issues. I use Tier-1, maybe different for Tier-2 people?

For Tier 2, as long as the project uses relative directories, they should be okay.

I'll try running v1076 and v108 side by side. It will be interesting to see if I can create the Tier 2 template as described in the provided document.

I don't think you will be able to compile until the missing headers issue is resolved. I certainly haven't been able too but I'm pretty sure that once the missing headers are made available, it will be fine.

I also will have a problem with the iOS testing as well. The interpreter_ios project is missing two base SDKs (libGoogleAdMobAds.a and libOAuth.a).
