Finally!

The Ignition games framework for monkey v1.0 is now available!

And we have a brand new website!

Check it out at http://www.playniax.com

BRL should upsell the heck out of your framework. Try to arrange something with them (maybe a monkey+ignition bundle).

Ignition gives much more credibility to Monkey, and if I ever venture with this language I'll definitely get your framework.

Great work!

I bought the framework and it's excellent.

It is so good I might actually finish something for a change! *

config.monkey - Added CountLines and FindLine commands added to iConfig class (count lines or find position of a string in a config file).

engine.monkey - All gui objects can now be attached to the system gui. Skin files AutoX and AutoY bug fix. ResetPositions, Percentages, AutoX and AutoY can now position gui objects relative to another gui object. Renamed VMouse and VTouch of the iPlayfield, iLayerObject and iGuiObject class to Mouse and Touch.

>>>>t-minus 5 weeks until i get to lay with monkey

lay with monkey? You'll get banned from the zoo for that.

I am working to improve the GUI stuff for next releases. This little demo shows a scrollbox.

http://www.playniax.com/demos/scrollbox/html5/demo.html

I have added automatic sliders to the scrollbox. Before the programmer had to set it up himself. The scrollbox sliders adjust automatically to the content of the scrollbox.


Hotshot2005(Posted 2012) [#15]
Excellent Man :)


Sledge(Posted 2012) [#16]
Is it gonna be possible to scroll the content with yer finger? (I mean, obviously it's possible but will the functionality be built into the GUI system?)

Playniax(Posted 2012) [#17]
Uhm, yes on the sliders but yeah you probably mean in the box. That is a good idea. I see what I can do.


Sledge(Posted 2012) [#18]
Yep, on the box/content I meant -- shoulda been clearer!


Blitzplotter(Posted 2012) [#19]

lay with monkey? You'll get banned from the zoo for that.


;) - I missed my p!

Like the look of it, in Firefox scrolled down ok then it got stuck at the bottom? Sorry, had to pass on.

[EDIT] - but then I went back to it and it worked fine.
