GE's free now, but as soon as it gets back up I'm not sure if mak wants to keep it free :/ The downloads page now has the full version of GE

Hey, try this:
Code: Select all
$name: sudo bash
Enter password: (password)
.gameEditor


After all, it did say permission denied. sudo bash gives you administrator controls. Or you could add the administrator terminal, which prompts the password before you open terminal :3

It's been awhile since I've been around her, but Wow! I paid 100USD a couple years ago, but it was worth it. Hopefully, Mak can still continue developement. I wonder if anyone has developed any integrated scaling/rotation function for sprites yet?

You can use a canvas to scale sprites, but it hasn't been in dev yet due to the lack of C++ programmers :/

Is there a turorial for how to do that somewhere? I googled it but didn't come up with anything very specific.

I show you how in the video example of Game Editor. It'll be uploaded to youtube.com/genshyu soon.

Thanks Bee! I'll dig into these!

edit: I played a bit with the scaling demo you posted, and it appears the trees can't actually trigger a collision event. It seems as though what is actually happening is that the static tree to the left of the view actor is the only 'real' tree, and the scaling ones are just images of it. I guess that to make a colliding, scaling actor, you'd have to make a scaled image of an actor follow over the real actor who is nearly perfectly transparent, and then have several sizes of the original actor art that changes with the scaling of the image. Kinda defeats the purpose. :-( On to rotation...

If you use scaling, then use a custom z-depth variable,a nd when the z-depth is equal to the players, colision started. Though you'll have to use a custom colision :D

Thats right.
In that demo, the z-depth variable should be the scl[i]
When it reach certain value, just make the collision effect. Of course, your own collision effect, not using PhysicalResponse.
