its did fixed most cases, but I guess you should look on the SETSCREEN bug.

its a nice discovered bug after some invistate what its really happens. A code example to showoff the bug would still been in place, so its easier to checkout what it happens.

Im not sure I did that for WebOS version of my game, but should I do that (even its should not accour in my game because I did not use offbuffers at all)?

even with onscreen quit, that button might not been used and still quit in the normal metod. In Greedy Mouse I also added the quit button as well (for Android version only), but I still close the app directly by homebutton anyway. So you cant trust how the user close the app. Howover should this thread not been moved to the bug section, since its a real bug?

GLB_ON_QUIT() is not invoked, and I guess its also happens with ALLOWESCAPE FALSE?

Its could also been a OpenGL bug.

Howover this is a real bug, so move it to the bug forum.

Can you give a code example to invoke the bug?

It's look like its cause either a null pointer bug or loop issue when usescreen is invoked with no surface. Normally you should not write to buffer when quit have been handled.

Android Rotation Issues by SETORIENTATION 0 did not fix all issues (etc if I force my game in portrait mode in manifest on my HP Touchpad, you will see the issue again), but I guess I got a fix to that too.

Look in the Java communication thread. There is a java command that can tell the current orientation of the device, which is very important to use. The value can been varied from system to system, but you can checkout which value its have by set SETORIENTATION from the returned display.getOrientation() value. Here its worked by setting the game to "portrait" mode, and hp touchpad default mode is "landscape". Actuelly the return value for portrait was set to 3 for HP Touchpad.

PS. While this help with fixed orientation issues in either "landscape" or "portrait" in manifest, the surface changes using "unspecified" or "sensor" is still not doing correctly (but the hint got returned nicely).

A Late edit to reflect change to this post is more clean. Its dosent breaks the follow posts.

for use with offbuffers and then png use alpha for transperancy. its not that notiable when using graphics buffer. I think I have posted about that before for a year ago. That would also fixc eventuelly alpha multiply issues. In Greedy Mouse I did not use offbuffers at all.

PS. This is not a bug, but more just a limit.

[SETTRANSPARENCY RGB(0,0,0)CLEARSCREEN RGB(0,0,0)]

CLEARSCREEN can still not support alpha. Its really annoying to trying clearscreen a offbuffer with 100% clean with alpha.

if Im doing this:
SETTRANSPARENCY RGB(0,0,0)
CLEARSCREEN RGB(0,0,0)


The screen is still filled with black, but its should have been fully transparency. I do hope Gernot add a "CLEARSCREEN RGB(RED, GREEN, BLUE), ALPHA" as a option (since I seen there is a opengl feature for that, so its should been a easy fix).

So this is property why some people have trouble to get ALPHA correctly work.

My artist used... Dropbox.

When I created new version I simply copy to Dropbox shared folder and from the Dropbox app it's possible to install directly. Howovere there was some issues, but it's works. The shared sync is very cool and direct reason I use that.

But it's actuelly easy to copy and install directly (but not sure here).

If your friend is at you, the game got installed automatic (but its require a driver to been installed).

Also pretty sure can look on the native keyboard support througt native java communication, but still not sure due sdl activity issues. But the IMPUT keyboard have real use as well.

Apple approvede my game (that talk about in my own thread), but i confirm the game run correctly on iPad 3 in 60fps for iOS5, but fall to around 45fps for iOS6 (and a bit worse with colored polygons as seen on iPad 1). The funny part is as I wrote ms taken for ENDPOLY is quite unstable and yes it's could been uvview issue.

But I just uploaded a tempfix to use 30fps for all iPads. So no hurry.

It's depend of projekt. In greedy mouse I was required to rename one type variable, because that name now was reserved, but elsewise it's compiled fine.

Howover you might need to create a new xCode project for iOS and setup that again. The project from v10 might won't work.

oh dear, spelling in the subject, fixed.

Yes this is not needed early in the development, but its handly when the project is near finished. I did need that due I did not like the default assest installing (which was the first reason to do that).

Looked into this today after fixed the Java issue. Its seen the shutdown issue was done when you using TargetAPI level 13 or higher, but if you set TargetAPI to 12 then glBasic does NOT quit but its got it hint as its should.

But its still some issues left. SETSCREEN is still not working correctly after the hint and X/Y is still been swapped on the other orientation.

Screen might start 90 degree wrong in startup, but that got fixed by SETORIENTATION 0 (which moved down for test), but after the hint then thing goes wrong (even I set SETORIENTATION 0).

Here the code (which also inclue some JAVACALL tests):

As you see X and Y is still swapped when I rotate 90 degree from start orientation. Rotating 180 degree works fine.

Yes, but there is some activity issues left. Etc glbasic close its thread completely when I'm trying create a another activity (example a WebKit), Which look its does on purpuse. Hope we can get those fixed first. When fixed then we can use ads services native or use Dropbox.

Howover you can call any java libs, example Google Licence Service works very great (much better than internal drm on google play, and you can use own assets copy so it's don't hang in startup and eventuelly crash out. I later put them here.

also why dosent it not start automatic (just like various android stuff). As I wrote in code snippet, I got workaround the java issue, so its would been easy to been fixed.
