... this hobby is proving to be expensive!

Hopefully it'll be worth it in the end

Just signed up with apple the other day and bought GLB
as well, now just have to figure out what the procedure is for
testing on my ipod touch

[Start debug session.]

Having trouble with GENSPRITE() anytime i use it the program
builds but i get the message Start debug session.
but the program doesn't run
if i change GENSPRITE() to an actual number it runs fine
I might be overlooking something but right now i don't know what ...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand



SETCURRENTDIR("Media") // seperate media and binaries?
GLOBAL sprPlayer = GENSPRITE()
LOADSPRITE "player.png",sprPlayer

GLOBAL Quit = 0
SETSCREEN 320,480,0
WHILE Quit <> 1

DRAWSPRITE sprPlayer,0,0
SHOWSCREEN
WEND

Good idea fjsantos

Me personally i never buy a game in the appstore unless theres
a demo or a video of the gameplay, looks nice though
Good luck with it.

There is one for mappy, listed on the homepage.

Although i don't think it would be much work to create a GLBasic loader

I've tried changing the smalfont.bmp in the program dir
but doesn't seem to make a difference, also deleted it and
it still displayed on screen.
Is there any reason why GLBasic can't use the windows system fonts ?

Thanks Kitty, Is there anywhere to follow the progress on that ?

It's a bit annoying that the default font is unreadable, i know
you can load a bitmap font but then you have to go and kern it etc
would be handy to have a readable default font just for debugging
even if the size could be set in a config file or something..

Sorry just another question on the iPhone
Does GLB support accessing the iphone gui widgets ?

Hi

I was wondering if there is a physics library available to GLBasic
tthat could be used for the iphone.
I had a search in the forums and found the box2d but the headers
file doesn't seem to have libs for iphone
Also there was a mention of the Newton physics library but can't seem
to find it.
I'm currently using the demo version of GLBasic.

Thanks
