Awesome but has bugs, and please for the love of god remove the java uploader it takes me like 5 / 6 minutes to load the page to type now...

The bug I ran into was when your in the middle of typing code, the darn shift key becomes disabled and you cant put " ( ) " which makes coding almost imposible... The only way to solve it is to restart GE...

Finally Game Editor is futuristic!!

Good job!
I experienced improved FPS in my games, this is a great day!
Making a smooth game of 50-60fps have a steadier fps, and when a game usually lags to 20-30 fps, there's still a good 40 fps

The one third of better fps is a good omen!

Thank you Mac-slane...
The bug when copy-paste code in Script Editor has already fixed right???

[Bee-Ant]

Okay, here's my report so far about GE 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 :

1. Script Editor and Global code
- In 1.3.9 the copy-paste just messed up, in 1.4.0 it's crash, autoclose
We can't copy some text from external program such as gedit, then paste it inside GE.

2. Music
- Still can't play midi. It's always autoclose whenever I load midi.
- In 1.3.9 I have to reduce the audio quality into 22050 hz Mono to get a stable performance. In 1.4.0 it's the same...

All I can say is beside it's great revolution on MacOSX and iPhone...it's getting worse...
Sorry, but really...
And I don't feel any change on the graphics performance...

Oh well, that's for all now. I'll test it again...

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to testing out making some iphone games.
Just a question - is there a way of using the iphone's multi-touch functionality, or are we still limited to single-touch?

[makslane]

You can use multi-touch by suing several actors (each actor will receive the touch in you area of the screen).

No

Sorry. It is not possible for a small development team cover all Linux flavors and all Windows machine configurations.

Hehe, mak, for some reason though Its not a bad thing but even on windows XP. if you have any sort of an advanced firewall, the text editing messses up unless you run GE as administrator


Other than that, I have noticed an increase ! I can actually run Exported games at 60 FPS now

THANK SO MUCH ^.^ :D:D:D

[akr]

I do assist Maks as a coder. A lot of effort was put into 1.4 and its just natural for software that there are bugs.
We will release bug fixes for serious bugs. Furthermore we already started to do further development for GE.
I can tell u this is the future plattform for your games. Support us and buy a license now!
