Hi,

It's been a while but here is an update for the Ignition framework for BlitzMax.

The framework has a lot of internal improvements. The goal was to make it easier to port between the monkey and max version. It has a monkey style App class, in-game system GUI that supports a pause, continue and quit button. Also better templates and easier use of the general purpose interface.

We have renamed the product to Ignition Max. Reason for this is the upcoming release of Ignition for monkey.

The tile editor can now export data to be used by ignition for monkey.

Have a look at this Windows demo (template), it has a screenmode interface, game interface, and system GUI.

I have both the Monkey and Max version of this and I can highly recommend it. Easy to use with lots of great tutorials!


matibee(Posted 2012) [#6]
Great stuff. How tight are the monkey/max interfaces? Are they at the point where the Blitzmax target for monkey could potentially be used to talk to the max framework?

Now that's a very interesting prospect :)


Dwapook(Posted 2012) [#7]
Awesome! Will you be sending the updated version to current ignition max users?


Playniax(Posted 2012) [#8]
yes.

You did not get it?


Dwapook(Posted 2012) [#9]
oh!
I found it, was in my spam box.. and was somehow being excluded from my email searches (which is how I usually find things that might make it to my spam).. thanks!


Hotshot2005(Posted 2012) [#10]
The Update is great but one problem thought...

Everythings is working fine apart from Gravity Zone, got Error saying "ITEngine not found"


Playniax(Posted 2012) [#11]
You probably loaded gravity zone.bmx in your IDE but you must load start.bmx and press F5

Otherwise reinstall the modules, should work fine.

@Dwapook:

I am working on a membership login so I don't need to use email to send links for updates.

Ravl,

I have been dealing with Tony for awhile and I can tell you that he is generally very quick with responses. I just didn't want anyone to think that is typical. And no, I am not a paid spokesperson, I bought both version fair and square :)


Ravl(Posted 2012) [#20]

3 weeks left until I can play - your sprite animation sequences is of particular interest!


Hotshot2005(Posted 2013) [#26]

Playniax(Posted 2013) [#27]

Captain Wicker (crazy hillbilly)(Posted 2013) [#28]
How does your framework compare to DWLab (blitzmax)?


Hotshot2005(Posted 2015) [#29]
Had been updated for final time?
