Just downloaded Super bBoy, congratulations! Well done for winning the $1000 too. It doesn't look like I have been so lucky, my app is still awaiting validation

I have a question for you if you don't mind... What did you do with your level files? Unfortunately my level files are in .txt format so are easily modified by the user which is obviously not good. I wanted to change this somehow prior to releasing it but I ran out of time!

Please review it even if its a bad review

My levels are simply arrays that i save on to an ordinary text file i call lvl.
The trick is more how you write the file as i blend the 2 arrays when writing them.
so if an user edits them so do they really dont know wath they change
Quote: "Congrats on the price money "

Its not official until early december when all the prizes are annonced
But iam pretty sure as jamie and chris whas pretty sneaki and had alot of smiles in there response also when i asked them about winning the 1000$.
The message ended with an official winners list will be early december as all the 50 can win more prizes.

They probably want to do one cash payment and not alot of them ?

Your game looks great. I downloaded it and after playing it, I gave it a 5star review But I thought I'd inform you that the words score and edition were spelled wrong on the title screen of your app. As English is probably not your native language I thought I'd let you know-- you spelled score scoore and spelled edition editon.

Ps. You've had 4downloads through appup - I've had none! (but my app is $1.00 I guess, gl in the contest (I'm in it too), I'm just hoping someone from AppGameKit wins!

Hi and thanks for downloading and test the game

I know about the 2 words i spelled wrong as it whas the only complains by the intel validation team

I didt want to mess with any uploads until after the competition

Quote: "Ps. You've had 4downloads through appup - I've had none! (but my app is $1.00 I guess, gl in the contest (I'm in it too), "

My app actually have 21 downloads
But this is thru the dashboard where you upload the app as i belive its updated faster.
So try to check there instead for your downloads.
I belive they dont pay until there is a specific amount or higher?

To bad that you didt get that many downloads so far as the game seams fun and well done.
But most users are probably like me and mostly downloading the free stuff and extremely picky before buying apps.
Have you tryed to promote the app thru other channels like youtube and facebook etc.

And i belive the downloads for your app will get alot higher after the competition when intel promotes the games we have done thru appup.

Quote: " I'm just hoping someone from AppGameKit wins!"

I hope as many of us as possible get as high rankings there could be
Would be great with 10 agk users among the top 20

Time for us to keep an eye on the first 50 that will be announced today as our apps got up at the same time

Are anyone intrested in the game engine?
Iam anyway preparing the source files and removing licensed media, so i can release the game engine as an royalty free open source engine.
All the media is simplified or scrambled as i dont want simpel copy cat games with my own media.

I feelt that i neaded to include some kind of media so its easier for anyone using it to simply replace them with there own.

There is 2 mp3 files that is free on playonloops homepage,they are shorter then the payed for versions.
music-music3 is the same song and you simply only nead to replace them with your own.
The engine whas developed with constant testing on various android devices and should work well,i made a few changes at the end to make it work with 108 beta 3 and ultrabook that shouldt matter.
I included the first level so anyone can look at it on how to make your levels.

Please post any updates or added functonality here so we share improvements to the engine with everyone.

Source code released here.
I would be very happy if you give the jump pixel engine and me cliff mellangard some credit when you create an game with this.
This is open source and royalty free game engine.
Now give me some games to play!
This is wath you get.

This is a new command used when you utilise the overdraw feature of agk.
It whas implemented in to agk 108 beta 3 and later.
It is only used to place buttons at the screen edges and ingame for the tile drawer etc.
I have written it more clearer on the first page that you nead beta 108 beta 3 and later.
You could also simply remove these commands and place this manually to get it to work on older versions.

Beta 3 dont work on xp but i belive its fixed in beta 5?

And remember that you can have multiple versions of agk installed.

Simply install beta 5 in to another directory.

Although I am having difficulties to understand some parts of the code, I can't deny the fact that you made an excellent piece of programming work and you offered us -I mean other AppGameKit users- a great resource.
I probably will not make a platform game, however you are to be congratulated for sharing your excellent code. In fact, I suspect many users (including me) must have been absorbed in reading your code that forgot to thank you.
Sir Cliff, a HUGE thank you from me!
And I wish you (commercial) success with your games.

The code are a bit messed some places as it got stressed thru to the intel competition.
Thank you

Quote: "I probably will not make a platform game"

Its pretty easy to simply change how the player behaves so do you have an r type shooter instead
The hardest parts are usually how to do the levels and draw them onscreen with little resources and fast.
Quote: "Sir Cliff, a HUGE thank you from me! "

Its nice to hear as you users feedback is my fuel in my open source projects.

I must learn to not give away all i do for free first

Beautiful. I develop my own engine(s), I am not get used to use others' people code, but I see that it is very professional (both game, engine and level editor) and it is very easy to use. I'll try to use it as soon as I have the confirmation that 1.08 works on my old XP PC with OpenGL 1.

Thanks marco.
If you nead some help with parts of it later so simply post here and ask for help so will i try to help

Iam already working on a new project involving shaders to workaround agk limitations in 3d attributes.
My current project is a doom style engine that i can use for dungeon crawlers and fps games on low end devices.
Its time to experiment with true 3d for a while
A sneak peek.
The goal is to make an extremely easy to use low polly level editor for agk.

Old movie on how parts of it work.

Did you use mike max player for the latest beta?

Tgc player in the downloads section is only for beta 3 and not beta 5.

The players for android is a mess currently and the beta versions makes the tile mapper run very slow.
As soon as they release an stable version of 108 or 109 so will i update everything as soon as i can and even split up the editor and game engine to make things clearer.

You could try mike max beta 5 android player if it helps?

I'm having the same issue as Spasski with android. I can't get past the red Your logo here. I have beta 6 player and AppGameKit for PC. Great Job on this awesome program!

EDIT: To fix the problem I put this into the code:

at line 250 in main.agc. Now if you press anywhere you will be able to push through the initial menu.

I found the problem
look inside Screen_Menue.agc


should be this!


These where fast changes for the intel compo and thats why i seam to have used raw mouse commands that dont work on mobiles

i will try to release an update soon.

If you guys find anymore errors like this please let me know as iam working an an really heavy project that takes allot of my time
Its easier for me to update the files if you report them to me

There seams to be something extremely wrong with performance in some parts after the agk beta updates after beta 3?

I will try to look in to it today and see wath the problem is ?

Here is a quick 108 beta 6 fix that should work as intended on all platforms.

I found that some commands are broken that i used alot before like render().
I replaced it with drawsprite that still works ok but you have to draw each sprite instead.
Fixed some of the hickups in the editors scroll that seams to be conected with changes in the render engine of agk ?
I never neaded a timed movement in it before but whas forced to add it.
I use the default agk font as the one i used whas unreadable at some stages.
My own game used a font from tgc font pack that i highly recomend.
Let me know of more problems you will have

I see you have made some progress with this now and a few peeps are using your engine! I see you are updating it for 1086. I would have thought it better to leave it at 1076 at the moment as it is a lot less hassle to compile than the newer version, and I believe there are still some odd bugs in there to fix yet which are not present in 1076. Also no 3D is needed here

Havent done so much after the official release
But i nead to update it when new agk releases are out
I want it to always support the latest version.

The slow down seams to be that sync and render also updates 3d together with 2d now ?
