V1.71

[Guilect]

Here is v1.7.1

fixed mouse dx, dy, dz
fixed emitted particles showing at -100, -100
added fx.getx, fx.gety

attempt made to fix particles showing and images not and vise versa. (let me know, not able to reproduce here).

Well... Yes and no. I can see the images now, but all particles are red. Even the examples have red particles. Some seem to have disappeared, or they are just so weak on a black background, i'm not sure.

Shouldn't mouse dx, dy and dz get reset between calls to them (or calls to mouse.update, i don't remember)? Now they just accumulate.

[Guilect]

particles here all look fine.
Not sure how to go about tracking this one down....


mouse dx, dy, dz used to report only the delta between updates, then someone complained that in a fast update loop the delta was reporting only \'0\' or sometimes a \'1\' for a value.

What should it do, I can make do what ever the majority wants it to do.

[Guilect]

I think I made some progress.
Now I can see the small space ships in U9's spaceshooter.

If someone could try this version of 1.7.1 and see how it behaves on another system that would be good.

Which version of the SpaceShooter Game are you using?

I tried v0.04 and got this Error...

** ERROR **
Object required: 'fx'

I then tried v0.03 and got this Error...

** ERROR **
Division by zero

[u9]

I can see I should do some updates on the space shooter

[matthew]

^^
Ha, yeah and I should do some more work on my Platformer.

Update...
I just downloaded 0.02 and got the following Error.

** ERROR **
Variable is undefined: 'gui'

[Guilect]

The errors for 'fx' and 'gui' are because with v1.7 those objects are only available for registered users.

[Guilect]

oh and I was using v0.04

[matthew]

So that's why the Errors were occurring.

Now I can see the sprites (images), but the FX are full in Red.

[Guilect]

OK I think this is good.

I can make a change later tonight to try to get the color back with the particles.

[hartnell]

Another release already? -hartnell

[Guilect]

not a major release like v1.8.
But rather bug fixes to v1.7, hence v1.7.1

I am glad people are finding bugs.
It means that people ares using Brutus2D.

[hartnell]

Yes, I finally get some quality time with it again soon. BTW, inkey doesn't return a value. -hartnell
