| Version 2.02 is now up! I have added the Casting method to both tile world creators and examples.on how to use this. Casting makes it easy to replace the standard iTile class with a custom made one. |

| Hi, Version 2.03 is up! This is a big update! • Improved animation support for iLayerSprite and iGuiAnimation. The content manager can now be used as an animation 'manager' and I have added a new animation method for playing a frame sequence. Example: AnimationSequence( "walk.png",[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1] ) • New collision methods for layer objects called collision points! It supports 2 ways of detecting collision: PointCollision() - Checks if a collision point is in a rectangular shape of the object it collides with LineCollision() - Lines intersect check I am looking at some editor solutions for adding collision points to objects but that will be in a future release. As a nice side effect of the collision points you can make 2d vector gfx based games. Have a look at these demos Demo 1 Demo 2 Demo 3 • Added LoadTextAtlas() to the content manager. Example: LoadTextAtlas("sprites.png", "sprites.txt", Image.MidHandle) Adds the sprite atlas data file from the texture packer exporter to the content manager for faster loading. • Added more engine based tile examples. • Added a tool called tileset padder and can be found here The tileset padder can add add the extra pixel to the border of each tile for you automatically. • Bug fixes Fixed the iLayerTileMap camera bug. Bye, Tony |

| Would you believe this?! For some reason and I am still scratching my head because of this our price of the RUBE importer automatically changed from 20 to 54 Euro at MyCommerce?! So for everybody who was wondering why we was charging so much for it, we are not. It should be 20 Euro! I have changed it back to 20 and I hope it will stay this way. http://playniax.com/physics.html |
