Welcome to the new board for Pulsar2D

[Cybermonkey]

There is no miracle with those shortcuts, just as found in any editor. CTRL + Z,Y,X,C,V - standard shortcuts in the SynEditor Component.

Now a small update about Pulsar2D:

• animation system is finished
• particle system is finished

Now I need to test P2D and I'll make a kind of Astorocks HD. Since everything goes into fullscreen I will let the user choose at the beginning her/his best resolution with a small requester I just finished. Just see the attached images and, yes, it's sort of multilingual.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I implemented a line collision and a circle to rectangle collision. That's quite handy since we do not have a pixel perfect collision anymore.

I made the Parallax demo in Lua with the requester for Windows (32). So have fun with different resolutions. Because of size I used 7zip to compress.

[piradyne]

NICE! Code on bro!

[Osgeld]

 I cant wait till this comes out!

Starting now the documentation. Yeah, I learned by my EGSL failures. So expect a beta release when its documentation is finished ... but it's really motivating using MarkDown language. Especially with pandoc it's possible to have a lot of output possibilities: HTML, DOCX, ODT, PDF and even ePUB.

almost done with EGSL documentation to...

Something new for Pulsar2D... since I thought it's rather easy to extract a bound script, I implemented a string encryption. At the moment it's a command line program with which you have to encrypt your lua script which is then bound with makeexe and can be executed. It's then decrypted on the fly from Pulsar2D. (Maybe I should call the interpreter "PulsarLua"?).
Anyway, of course it is possible to decrypt the bound script but it makes it more complicated to "steal" ones source.
Here's an example I made with CLScript (yes, it's my testing interpreter again):

Code: [Select]

color (14,1)
cls()
color (1,14)
locate (14,1)
print ("************ G U E S S   T H E   N U M B E R ************")
color (14,1)
print ("")
mylog=open ("log.txt","w")
fprint (mylog, "A simple log for Guess the Number")
close (mylog)

anzahl=int(input("What shall be the highest number? "))

number= (int(rnd()*anzahl)+1) --that's a classic; directly taken from the Commodore 64 ...
try=0
newlog=open("log.txt","a")
repeat
trial = val(input ("Please enter a number between 1 and "..anzahl.." : "))
if trial==0 then
  os.exit()
end
if trial < number then
print ("The number was too low.")
end
if trial > number then
print ("The number was too high.")
end
try=try+1
fprint (newlog, try..". "..trial)
until trial == number
close (newlog)
print ("")
print ("Congratulations! You only needed "..try.." tries!")
print ("")
Now the result looks like (depending on the encryption key):

Code: [Select]

Nice, isn't it? 

[cvirus]

It's cool.

Okay guys, now the last version of my demo. It has three parts and is very old school with raster bars and such ... Since the file is now about 4 MB I uploaded to retrogamecoding. That's the file: http://egsl.retrogamecoding.org/media/pulsardemo/PulsarDemo.7z

And a few impressions:



This part is already known by you. I changed the Parallax logo with the Pulsar2D logo.


This is pretty much the same as you can find in PlayBasic: rotating sprites. (All sprites have different sizes and speed and rotation speed! Even if you choose 5000)


Another scroller with raster/copper bars. They are just one image ...

Sorry, I am still offline at home but at the moment I am working on AstroRocks^HD which will be a complete demo game for Pulsar2D. (It's actually fast paced like none I've seen before ...)

[Osgeld]

cool demo, cant wait to play the game, and am giddy about the release (soon? )

[Osgeld]

I know we all have real lives, and busy schedules, hell I am the worst about that kind of stuff getting into my "fun time" so Im not pressuring or anything, just looking to see whats up in the world of pulsar!

Thanks

[Cybermonkey]

Sorry for the delay. A beta version will be released soon on this forum. A "full" version will be released when I am finished with the documentation and the web site.

[Osgeld]

we dont need documentation, just write something that tells us what everything does 

good news, looking forward to beta
