I have experience with both MMF and iOS devolopement. I haven't used MMF in years and was surprised to see the 2 have come together! I went ahead and got the iOS exporter and had some questions for...

ok thanks.

I am trying to receive UDP messages from reacTIVision. There is a simulator here: http://reactivision.sourceforge.net/

It sends the messages to local host (127.0.0.1) on UDP port 3333
Is there a...

Will any of the current network extensions allow me to receive data from a non-mmf app?

I got pricing info. Lets just say I could buy a couple of really nice cars instead.

I was posting this a 'feature request'
Sorry about that. And thanks.

They do. But from what I think 00J was saying is that it's not dependable. If you have the object in frames 0-10 and update the behavior in frame 10 it's not guaranteed to update correctly in frames...

OOJ: I'm glad you mentioned the bug with the global objects, I was planning on using that for something. I will have to play around with it and see what happens.

Would it be possible to implement a way to retrieve collision force?

Example: 2 large objects colliding at a faster speed would be hight then smaller ones at a slow speed.

Would be useful for...

I got the same email from them today. They mentioned R&D and production time as factors in the setup fee.

I haven't decided how to respond yet, have you?

Has there been any official word on this being a possible future feature?

I was planing a sale price around $10. But if it's the only choice then maybe not.

Crossover isn't feasible at that cost. I am waiting for a response from TransGaming for info on licensing. I will post what ever I can here.

I read somewhere that they charge a % of your sales and...

Take a look at this tutorial: http://www.sonicfangameshq.com/view.php?sec=4&id=88

It's probably a lot more than you need but it does just that. You can change some values to make your character...

Maybe making this a condition for your camera:
If ( x("player")+(x("cursor") - x("player"))/2 ) < x[right edge of current room]
Then
Center the screen on x("player")+(x("cursor") - x("player"))/2

If you own a game that uses it, you can open it's package and replace it with yours. I used the spore creature creator.

This is also why I haven't posted it.



But can you distribute it?

No, I read this blog post: Why you should support Mac OS X and Liniux

Then I googled "port games to mac"
When I found how easy it could be and that I might actually be able to port an MMF game I...

I have used both wine and crossover but they are not practice for distributing. With Cider it works and looks like a standard mac app.



I laughed very hard when I read this, thanks.

I really hope not, because the Mac gaming market can gain a lot from small time developers/hobbyist.

Non HWA builds will either crash or play without a window (you can hear the sounds). I think it's because the Cider version I'm using was originally built for a Direct X game.

It's actually really...

Sounds good.

What is the status on HWA? I for one am really looking forward to this coming out of beta. Or at least a build that does full screen.

It's really easy. Just get one that outputs like a keyboard. The one I have types all the data out in a single line with each track separated by a %.

Input the line into an edit box and break it...

Nice example Nifflas :) . Can you explain why both colliding objects need to have elasticity to produce a bounce? Or am I missing something?

Can someone explain to me what elasticity and surface velocity is?

It works, thanks!

Is there a way to force a particular "behavior set" within the frame-based events?

Frame event

Run Active1 Events

When a fast loop runs, thats the only thing running.

Example:

I don't know if this is known or not, but creating backdrops from rotated/scaled actives doesn't work. It just creates a non rotated/scaled version.

Thanks!

do you know of a workaround for the time being?

This extension is awesome! Any plans to support HWA?

Any word on a beta being made available any time soon for the HWA feature? I remember reading somewhere deep into these forums about a possible October beta.

That would be cool,
Thanks a lot for the response.

Are there any plans for a demo of the new hardware acceleration feature? I guess I'm imagining a built app or video. I'm just really excited to see the performance increase.
