Hello all,

I'm rarely here because work and family life get much of my time but be sure that the port of original DarkBASIC Professional's 2DPluginKIT continues and get good progress.
Only 2 files (over a total of 15 files) remain to be ported to AppGameKit.
But as Original DarkBASIC Professional's 2DPluginKIT was able to uses some of the eXtends capabilities, I had to take a decision concerning the future of these 2 plugins.
With internal times calculations using the same schemes and principles, having 2DPluginKIT using some eXtends internals methods, I will merge the 2 plugins into 1.
It will becme "eXtends 2DPluginKIT" or "2DPluginKIT eXtended" or something else (name is not final).

It was just to get you informed because if the current eXtends GIT contains only eXtends source code (here : https://github.com/AmiDARK/eXtends-for-AppGameKit )
Be sure that it will soonly be renamed to fit the changes when the 2DpluginKIT source code will be merged with the eXtends one.

Regards,
Fred.

Thank you.

The 2DPluginKIT Source code is now fully ported to AppGameKit.
Now I start to test the port with the original 2DPluginKIT samples that were available on the DarkBASIC Professional version.

Here is a snapshot of the 1st sample that randomly draw 2 tiles on screen.

Regards,

Fixing source code to makes 2DPluginKIT being fully AppGameKit compatible is getting good progress.
Yesterday, I tested the Tile creation/drawing system.
Today it's the layer system that is tested.
Layer are drawn using Tiles!
I've a bit upgraded this sample from original DarkBASIC Professional version to show a small maze instead of a big void room ...

The next sample test more things available in the 2DpluginKIT, the "tile collision system". Using tiles masks, user can create custom collisions colors ( from $00 to $FF) to create 255 collisions type .. 0 = no collision, 255 = wall .... And for this example 128 = slowdown area, 32 = death in the hole and 64 = win by climbing the ladder ...

Then, it's now a small exit game for the next 2DPluginKIT sample that will be available on release !

Here is a small video showing a mini exploration game using :
- Tiles
- Layer system with scrolling
- Bobs attached to layers
- Layer tiles collision system to handle specials effects (collision walls, death, exit, slowmotion, etc... )
