I really like this language and the "BASIC" language in general I can abstain from coding for a long time and jump back in with very little relearning. I had only about an hour and a half but 20 minutes of familiarizing myself with my code and I managed to make progresss.

Its great to see you are still working on this. This is probably the biggest project on this forum so I know it can get a little overwhelming. Definitely looking forward to seeing your progress.

Besides my long bug list (and feature list), I am tackling animation smoothing. I notice that in my space demo, when you have large images parallaxing very slow in the background by fractions of a pixel they will jump once they round up to a whole pixel, nothing out of the ordinary here, its expected.
So I am attempting to creating fore and aft images with alpha-blending to make them smooth between pixel jumps. Essentially there will be 3 images per entity if the feature is activated.
I hope to post an example this weekend, then start integrating it into engine...then finally into space demo.

Well I managed to try it out and first attempt was...."janky" but I have the right idea, and will be able to make it work without too much trouble. Will share as soon as it looks like I want it too.

tbird This month will mark 3 years since you first posted about this project. I am really impressed with the effort you put into your framework (which to be honest is a full-featured engine at this point). Can we be expecting a new upload soon. I am really interested to see the changes to your editor. Also, you haven't updated your main post with changes in a while, which version on you on?

Wow it has been that long....almost sad that I didn't get more accomplished lol. I am working on the space demo when that is done then the engine will be considered usable...to me anyway. Your right I haven't updated that in awhile I will do so tomorrow when I get home. I am working on version 1.53 right now.
The battles in the background are coming along nicely. I would just like to get rid of the pixel jumping, I almost have it. If it works how I picture it, it's going to be sweet.

Well update "pi" and on has completely destroyed my engine lol, I've spent 3 hours just trying to get it to work and I have rolled back to 3.12. Something to do with the for loops, I will try again soon but I am going to need assistance I think, but I will see what I can do.

tbird Can you provide an example of the error you are getting? I can try to get a fix out this week.

n00b I wouldn't stress too much yet. I'm still under the belief that this is a me problem and not RC. I have tried multiple different demos to recreate my problem and I can't, they all work. I will do more digging and experimenting and hopefully make progress. Will update soon

n00b Well I have made 0 progress lol, I cannot recreate this issue. No other spots with very similar loops cause issues, I must be doing something wrong. The more times I stare at it the less progress I am making. Will probably post the code this weekend.....1 last try

I have been looking at it and can't find the issue either. If I can find the issue, I will make sure its fixed in the next release.

I am rewriting large portions of the engine, found some more code which needed updating along with the fact of trying to figure out why RC3.14+ does not like my original code, so I will work through and get it to work...hopefully. I will also hopefully try and be around a little more often, my dad passed away at the end of December and it's been hard for everyone here, but life goes on. I want to get back to my favorite hobby.

tbird The latest versions of RCBasic actually broke my engine also. For me it was the change I made to WriteLine(). It now adds a new-line character. If you don't want that then use the Write() function instead. You can go back and check the release notes for other changes or look at the manual.

Funny you mention that little issue, I already went through that. I had a lot of fun trying to run my demo and loading the level was just spitting out messed up info..so yeah been over that one already lol.
