(If you don't see it try reloading the page)


- 4 examples of how to use Spine with Ignition layers.
- Added extra examples how to handle collisions with layer objects.
- On the gui front a lot of improving under the hood for a new gui module we are working on.
- Added iGuiGroup for combining multiple gui objects acting as one.

You also need the json module found here:

Great looking GUI and update!


Raul(Posted 2013) [#10]
nice work. even through I do not need that GUI I am pretty sure I will buy a license of Ignition pretty soon. Maybe you should also continue the tutorial pages started some months ago?


Playniax(Posted 2013) [#11]
Yeah, This was a heavy update. I go back to the tutorial stuff now. Thanks guys!


rIKmAN(Posted 2013) [#12]
Sounds like a great update - I should really start using Ignition considering how long ago I bought a licence!

Thanks Playniax :)


Uncle(Posted 2013) [#13]
I was getting a duplicate identifier problem when compiling with 1.9. The problem is with the list class. Did anyone else get this error. In the meantime I have simply renamed the list.monkey to ilist to get around this.


Rushino(Posted 2013) [#14]
Nice GUI!


Amon(Posted 2013) [#15]
I'm unable to download it. I keep getting a 'Failed - Network Error' each time I try to download the new version.

I will try another browser. Currently using Chrome.


Amon(Posted 2013) [#16]
I managed to sort the problem out. It was Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 causing the problem.

For anyone else who has this Internet Security software, in settings >> web anti-virus, add the playniax domain to your trusted sites so that it doesn't scan the url. Whatever it does when scanning the url it borks the download from playniax.

@uncle: I will have a look...


Uncle(Posted 2013) [#18]
Thanks Tony. Just one more question. I using bitmapFont.draw and in previous version this always rendered on top of any ilayers I had, however they now seem to be rendering behind the layers. Is there anything I can do to force the font rendering to the last thing in the render cycle?


Playniax(Posted 2013) [#19]
Yes, you can you OnTopRender () of the engine. I changed the order of rendering a while ago because it was confusing for some people.

It can be found in changes.txt of previous versions.


retroX(Posted 2013) [#20]
I was impressed by the demos. Does Ignition have a way of doing "Virtual Resolution" like with the Diddy framework?


Playniax(Posted 2013) [#21]
Thanks! Ignition has a way of doing virtual resolution. This can be done by creating a playfield and set its resolution. All objects rendered in this playfield are influenced by this resolution, fading, zooming, rotating and camera.

Hi All,

I purchased Ignition earlier today and having a sneaky play with it whilst at work, everything looks great so far.

I'm unable to find the tile editor that comes with the solution, any ideas where to find it?

Thank in advance.


skape(Posted 2013) [#23]
Hi monotonic,

If you log into your account at monkey.playniax.com you will see an entry for "Ignition Tools" in the downloads list. This download contains the tile editor. :)


monotonic(Posted 2013) [#24]
Hi Unlikely,

Ahh, excellent thank you very much :)
