Yep, decided to release this gem of mine for everyone to use, if I am to do this game ever again it won't be in Game Editor anyways, because there are bugs in Game Editor's canvas drawing system that just makes this unplayable.
Anywho, here's the data files along with the GED files. I even started making a main menu!

The script is not commented fully... So this is probably for mostly advanced users to look at
And no, I don't expect you to look at this and comment

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this whole draw up-your-own Head/Spaceship concept. Way cool.
Too bad about that canvas bug.

Yeah, but since I'm taking college for programming, I'll probably end up remaking the game and compile it in something else, I guess I've out-grown ge or something
I hope people can learn from this, even if it's barely commented

Boy, everyone is growing out of Ge. And I just got here

Kind of joking. Even I will probably "Grow up" eventually. I think...
I've got a long way to go until I get to that point.

But you know, with limitations, you find creative ways to work around things. On the other hand, without limitations, you can do about anything.

I do assume you'll stay to help people.

I've been meaning to ask, Sky said that you were one of the only ones to successfully compile to mac executable on a windows computer. Was there anything different you had to do to get it to work? I've had a few people ask me to export this but, as far as I know, I haven't gotten this to work. (I do not own a Mac.)

Thank you, and sorry for the off topic question.

well I don't really know why, I know I posted the .bin I had for the mac export. And there's nothing different to it than yours. I guess it's just my CPU?
If GE wouldn't be so buggy, I would use it forever, but the bugs are very limitive to my creativity to this point, but I don't think I'll stop using it anytime soon

*Whew* I'm glad you're not leaving yet.

You posted the bin here? Where would this be? As I said, since I don't have a Mac, I'm clueless as to whether or not it works. My cousin the Mac user couldn't get it to work, but I'm unsure if she needed to do the chmod +x game ./game thing.
Anyway, Sky said a lot of people had problems with this. but akr supposedly fixed this but it was only released in the source code or something.

And yeah, I do find GE to be a little buggier than I like, but I've heard it's been way buggier in the past. But, no other engine I've seen is this easy to use, but yet has this much flexibility!

A little update on that mac problem. Downloading a new gE version from the site should work. The problem was fixed, and the bin file was uploaded to the .net site, but since akr doesn't have power over the source forge hosting, we can't update it. But, makslane updated the executables, and therefore the mac export should be fixed.

As for the canvas problem, I'm sure it can be fixed, but I guess if you want to move on, by all means. There are still plenty of things that gE needs to work on, but akr is working on them, and I have been looking into the source myself, so hopefully I'll be able to help. As for a development tool, I'm sticking with gE, but I'm definitely going to expand my knowledge by learning other tools.

Looks...confusing but works great. Wish I could get something going this well!

Speaking of college, I get to start next year (yippie) but I'm not going to be a fancy programmer like you. Just thinking computer engineering in general Huzzah!

well I've had already posted it in the bug post you have made, so I suppose it'll be taken care of at one point

@jimmynewguy: thanks! hope you can get around it, the global codes has more explanation as to what the variables does

I am blown away at this. This is flawless! Very very nice!

The thing with GE is that its sort of a starting program, you are able to do so much but when youve learnt almost all you can... you want to move on to something where you arent so limited. I wont be leaving yet, not for at least 2 years.. whilst im at college.

savvy

Another good thing about GE is that once you've "out grown" it, you can become a developer for it

That's what I plan on doing

I still have some ways to go before I can develop for Game-Editor, and then I might be too busy! I don't think I could make a living by developing for game editor so

Yes I guess that's true

Oh by the way, if you are still around when the networking function in GE is released, you could turn this into an online game. That would be awsome!

Just a question about your game: I made a cool ship and I wanted to test it out. How do I do that?
