Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.52
RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.10.1, which allows the development of games from various genres. RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM. Jens 'Farbfinsternis' Henschel has written a tutorial.
The author writes about the new version 0.9.52: "It is quite technical but super interesting on multiple fronts.
First, it has some big optimizations for the features most used in games, it should be very noticeable.
Also, to ease development you can add comments to your objects and triggers.
And finally, you can now use the program from the cli, to generate your projects without loading the editor, this way you can make cool scripts (video)". All changes:
- Now you can Load your projects from the CLI, for example: RedPillEditor
projects/astro/astro18.pill
- You can also Build your projects from the CLI, for example: RedPillEditor
projects/astro/astro18.pill A1200 NOPACK WHDLOAD
- The parameters are GENERIC/A500/A1200, PACK/NOPACK, WHDLOAD. The order must
be this one, PACK and WHDLOAD parameters are optional.
- Big optimization on Collides Obj and Collides Type triggers, speed gain could
be up to 40% depending on the project.
- Improvements on profiler screen, now it shows % of time used by each project
area.
- Optimizations in internal object handling.
- Now comments can be added for Objects and for triggers, to make it easier to
remember what each one does in your game.
- When exporting triggers to text file, these comments are being added to the
text file too.
- Astro project contains examples of these comments.
- Fix for collision boxes not being displayed in the right position after the
previous update.
- Fix on profiler screen total time.
- Fix for cover images and images using HAM.
- Fix for objects of type Shot, which may have failed in concrete cases.
