Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

Ruthless debug bug. Test.

I did find a demonstration of the AI brake. I know your Android build is fiddly, so it's hard, hard work, but unfortunately the track is unplayable.

I am only controlling the steering, and this track shows a great example.

Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

Here's another video I made. https://youtu.be/XNVZ3o99Byo?si=kkRm1b221p4qJWs1 A bug in choose track means if the 2nd track is selected and I press my thumb on the track to the left, the track to the right is selected and will load the wrong track. Sometimes the AI brake approaching a corner will hol...

Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

I hope this video can survive the months you're away, but I made this very blurry video using my phone. I log into Chrome by minimising the game and set a new colour profile that can be used next time I load the app. The first time I tried the save would get lost, so I thought I'd show you it's poss...

Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

I downloaded on Android 12. My phone is a Motorola G50 if that helps. I couldn't save a profile using the remote tool. Neither does the saved profile appear in game. Also connecting means taking a screenshot of the IP, minimising MarbleGP, then typing the image info into my phone browser. Then I can...

Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

I did install the app after nearly a week. First impressions were a well made game. My very best impression was with the instrument panel in the centre of the screen. I think the word is "responsive" like a plane. I felt very important directing my marble about, and the AI was fun (althoug...

Re: DustbinGames MarbleGP

You have no reviews on the Play Store as of yet. I'll download your game on my phone... How many times do you want me to play it before leaving a review? I think the set up feature shows you know what you're doing. It reminds me of Unreal mods on servers that alter the game. I see images in the scre...

Re: Gonna take a break for another project

I may as well be AWOL or FUBAR. I can't tell if anything I like will see an end result. Maybe I've been too ill to really do anything. Thanks for putting up with me and my stringent, robotic, pedantic, terrible "I'm right" attitude. You may have seen other community members drop by and nev...

Re: Gonna take a break for another project

I didn't find games that appealing. Well I did, but I would pretty much always look beyond the game and the engine and wonder how a computer did such amazing stuff. I have some shoe boxes with electronic parts in and I'm currently figuring out how to program a chip. It didn't matter if it was Unity ...

Windows windows

WinUI WinCLI WinRT WinUWP WinCX Win32 MFC I will be checking out the Win32 + Irrlicht example pretty soon. I'm beginning to sway towards GUI interfaces and not solely game development. Along with the DirectX 2010 SDK are example projects involving dx9 and dx10. I didn't know how many people here kn...

Re: CustomPresenter for embedding Irrlicht in GTK etc

Can I ask a question about Qt since you mentioned it? I had heard about Qt being a great tool for GUI. I never thought I would need it as Windows has plenty of ways with their tools, so when I eventually got around to visiting the Qt site I was rather shocked. It's great if you plan on creating OSS ...

Re: [solved] SVN trunk and 1.9 without dll and Window 7.1 SDK

Okay. It works. With the 1.9 trunk. Any differences in the 1.8.5 and 1.9?

No 7.1 was installed (only 4.8.1)
I used the DX 2010 installer
I used desktop c++ workload

What's different with the 10/11/12.sln and the vc17.sln?

Re: [solved] SVN trunk and 1.9 without dll and Window 7.1 SDK

If I download Visual Studio and install Desktop workload and also check .NET 4.8.1 - using the 1.8.5 version from your main page... No work. This was a post about the 1.9 trunk but I thought I'd try "a quick and dirty set up". I realised that perhaps I like things working with as little ef...

Re: [solved] SVN trunk and 1.9 without dll and Window 7.1 SDK

I had problems with the 7.1 .NET 4 installation. Part of .NET was already present both times on my system and couldn't install everything. I would have liked to use the latest 4.8.1 and use backwards compatibility. I'm a little cautious of using Irrlicht because it uses old libraries. Sorry about th...

Re: [solved] SVN trunk and 1.9 without dll and Window 7.1 SDK

So is the DirectX 2010 download the same as the SDK 7.1?

Does the SDK have more in it but Irrlicht only needs the graphics part?
