Hi,
I tried the Mr iDork games, and I realized that it draws free lines on which the character can jump. At present AppGameKit Tier-1 has not got commands to draw points and lines on the screen, only it can render sprites. But it would be very useful to have free drawing commands to draw, for example, fuel or power bars, to modify on the fly the scenario, etc. I used very much such commands in my DBPro (and also Java or VB) games, for example to draw start fields (see this game ) or to detect collision with ground (see this ).
When will TGC make available those commands (both set and get), of course?

Draw commands are planned for a future build. Soon I think.

There are ways to do some similar things such as your star field by creating single sprites that are 1 pixel square. There are a few examples out there already. Lines can be made using a single sprite too.

Drawing commands are due in 1.07, due this month if all goes well. No shape commands, but they can be achieved through the other options and saved to a sprite.
