Looks absolutely amazing - really well done! I always loved Mirror and thought it was an excellent demo of Redpill but this is something else.
I definitely need to find some time to play with the demo and Redpill. |

The source of the demo comes in the Redpill package, you can check how it is done and make modifications. Also, if you liked Mirror maybe you would like also this game https://aminet.net/package/game/jump/AbsoluteZero [ Show youtube player ] |

A new version has been uploaded to Aminet https://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/REDPILLGameCreator
A lot of new things in there, now instead of generic build you can target a low end machine, like OCS 7Mhz 1MB machines. The build will be smaller and faster with some trade-offs. There is also a new frame editor, with support for flips, scaling and rotating. Here is a quick video showing it. [ Show youtube player ] Full list of changes: v0.9.33 -Added a new Build Game option to target low end machines (like A500 with 1MB). This reduces the maximum number of level objects (from 64 to 32) and disables some code like CD32 audio and storage among others to reduce memory needed and increase performance of the games. -Multiple optimizations in all fronts reducing the CPU and memory required by games. -When forcing NTSC resolution the game will use less Chip memory. -Static objects are now updated first, I hope this do not break old games as sometimes the execution order could be different. -Added a new screen for Frame manipulation, copy&pasting, rotating, scaling, can be done in this screen. Find more information in the guide. -Default input key for Fire 1 has been changed to left caps key. -In Game Setup screen there is a new Mem Info section that will give an estimation of the memory used by the game. Take it with a pinch of salt. -Build does not copy diskfont.library anymore as it is not needed. -Fix in Collision Down being triggered when there was any collision. -Optimization in tile accessing. -Small optimization in palette processing. -Optimization in action trigger processing. -Compression for SFX has been deactivated as sometimes it fails and others prevent loading. -In Screen setup screen now you can decide if you want subpixel scrolling or not. -When Building a project there are warning messages if the files cannot be compressed. -When loading a project, this loading action now can be cancelled. -Files ".pal" in projects are now used in a different way. -Camera limits code has been simplified. -Fixes in the FX rendering. -Action trigger Frame by Angle fixes. -Animation frames are now cleared when starting a new project. -When compressing projects, if the asset is not properly compressed now it tries to load the file without compression. -Refactoring of level loading and tileset loading that reduces the exe size and memory usage. -Refactoring of the main loop camera and display system. -Trigger actions system optimization. -Small optimization in Change Tile trigger. |

Great to see so many updates @Zener, nice to have a platform to create games on the Amiga.
With this and Scorpion the future looks really nice for Amiga games. |

Thank you TCD!
A new update is available in Aminet with many new stuff: https://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/REDPILLGameCreator v0.9.41 -Image to tiles now can open a large image containing a map, extract its tileset, and optionally recreate this map in the current level. -Image to tiles checksum has been improved to avoid duplicates. -Now you can select the spritesheets to use for each Level, saving some valuable Chip Memory. -The used spritesheets in the level can be automatically calculated by the editor. -In Tileset Menu, Image to tiles can now be used to open a large image with a game map. The routine will generate all the tiles for this map, and will give the possibility to generate the level map as well. -In Objects Menu, in the Advanced section you can define the maximum speed you want your object to move. Useful for example, when you do not want your object to fall too fast. -Fetch mode Quadruple can now be used with Screen Widths: 320, 288 and 256. Using it will speed up games for AGA Amigas without FastRAM. -Added a project named BobPerfTest to be able to check performance with the different fetch modes. -Added action trigger Follow Object Free, works as previous one but instead of using 8 directions for moving, movement is smooth vector based. -When using Help key or ? button to get screen information, now you can click More button that will open the HTML help with detailed info. -The tool to open HTML files can be defined in the REDPILLEditor Icon. -Project ex_mapenemies has been updated win new graphics and using the new Follow Obj Free trigger. -ECS parallax now supports vertical movement. -Red CD32 button is now equivalent to normal Joypad first button. -Vampire can usage can now be detected using the condition trigger Processor.
