Split Screen Development.

[Sgt. Sparky]

I have an Idea for making Split screen stuff,
here is an Example,
all it is:
making 2 Games sync,
controls for Game 1: arrow keys move,
controls for Game 2: use w, a, s, and d to move.
you must have both games running for this to work.
(I do not know how to get around the not recieving key events in one Game,
well I do but I do not have time right now because I must go. )


I posted the .exe and the .ged files ect.


I am going to give a Better example soon of a Fighting Split screen Game where all you have to have is one window up to play it with 2 people and the other window will just be display for player 2.

Sgt. Sparky, have you posted the files in this thread?

[Sgt. Sparky]

Yes I did!
I will re-upload it,
I do not know what the problem is...

you could also use the "draw_from" function to create a split screen effect.

yeah, but that can be even slower.
(that is what I first thought of doing,
in the draw from you would have to scan each actor ect. which kills speed, somthing I am good at doing[killing speed.],
but the actor scanning is easy. )

I am good at killing first frame speed, which is not so bad :3

[Sgt. Sparky]

but this would not work good because there is so much you must do to scan it all onto another canvas for a Game with alot of Actors.

it is true that draw functions may slow it down but would probably be better.
I say this from experience because ive made MANY attempts to make split screen.
some work some dont. the two seperate game files crash ALOT for me because i used
save and load vars. but...on a powerful machine like my new one it could be useful.
if your computer is sortof bad...im sorry, but dont bother.wait for cloning of the view
which ive been waiting for....for a while...

I still confused how to save and load variables in folder, for example in DATA folder...
