Hi, Right. Downloading depends on the upload speed of the server, in this case, BlastBay's HTTP server, and the connection you have. The browser has little to do with it. Muhammed may have had a decent connection because he downloaded it at a time when other people weren't, or because he has a better connection then Jayson. When browsers are called fast, this is typically how fast it can parse and display HTML, and how quickly it can render JavaScript. While I completely agree with you Muhammed that Firefox is a good browser, it doesn't necessarily have a better download speed then Internet Explorer or Opera That is entirely dependent on the server and your connection.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
That's true. Reading through the docs it said something about Notepad. So I assume then that Notepad is where te actual coding takes place, then BGT is where you might test it out, then the Script Compiler is how you would actually convert it to an executable. This is definitely going to take a bit of getting used to, but once I get to playing with it and figuring out how to convert a lot of this stuff into actual game concepts it seems as though it'll be easy enough to work with.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hy Bryan, bgt.exe is the program that you use to test your games with while you are working on them. It basically executes your script in real-time, and tells you if there are any errors. The compiler, which is not yet usable, is the program that will turn your BGT script into a standalone executable later. It is perfectly fine to start working on a game with the beta and then to continue with it once lite and pro are released. There may or may not be some changes done to the engine that'll require code updates, but the core of the engine will stay the same.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hello Muhammed. Firstly spelling and sintax is important if you want the bgt to understand your script. Secondly you should declare values preferably on seperate lines or ceperated by a semicolon. Variable names may not contain spaces as well. I'm not sure how you would handle entering text, because the examples does not contain an example where you enter text. I think the guess the number game could be written more eligantly anyway. What would happen if you wanted to change the game to high-low and make the user choose a number between 1 and 100? Would you need to add 90 more if statements? However if you had to use a text box you'd have to hit enter after the number though.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hi Willem, There are indeed a hundred ways in which the guess the number example can be improved. However I favored extreme simplisity over style, so to speak. The reason why I have 10 if statements for numbers is because I have to check the different keys on the keyboard, and they are all defined as constants which are not guaranteed to be aligned with one another. Thus, I could not use a loop to check all of them with three lines of code. If you wanted to use 100 numbers, then I would suggest either making a menu with shortcut keys using the dynamic_menu class or using the input_box function and then the string_to_number function.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Ah, I didn't know about the F6 thing. Short answer though, yes indeed. Html help doesn't have a standardized application curser. This means, though it's readable on continuous read, doing things like reading character by character, searching for single key word or phrase (handy if for instance I want to look at how many brackits or braces I want to use around things), or indeed copy and paste. So yes, a standard html document help would be nice if you don't mind.

Hello Philip. I just looked at the input_box function and it looks like that is what Muhammed also needs to solve his text input question. That is what I would use if I made a high low game as well. Great job for releasing the bgt. On 3/24/2010 3:07 PM, Philip Bennefall wrote: Hi Willem, There are indeed a hundred ways in which the guess the number example can be improved. However I favored extreme simplisity over style, so to speak. The reason why I have 10 if statements for numbers is because I have to check the different keys on the keyboard, and they are all defined as constants which are not guaranteed to be aligned with one another. Thus, I could not use a loop to check all of them with three lines of code. If you wanted to use 100 numbers, then I would suggest either making a menu with shortcut keys using the dynamic_menu class or using the input_box function and then the string_to_number function.

Hello Muhammed. Firstly spelling and sintax is important if you want the bgt to understand your script. Secondly you should declare values preferably on seperate lines or ceperated by a semicolon. Variable names may not contain spaces as well. I'm not sure how you would handle entering text, because the examples does not contain an example where you enter text. I think the guess the number game could be written more eligantly anyway. What would happen if you wanted to change the game to high-low and make the user choose a number between 1 and 100? Would you need to add 90 more if statements? However if you had to use a text box you'd have to hit enter after the number though.

Hi Muhammed, You are missing a few things. First, you are forgetting quotes and semicolons in your code which will make the engine throw a fit. Second, you aren't giving all your variables proper names and declaring them in the proper way. Your example should be written like: int age=11; string phrase=What's your name?; Now you have an integer variable called age containing the number 11, and a string variable called phrase which says What's your name?.

Hi, I hope not. I've been programming in C-Style languages for about 15 years and semi-colons are second nature to me. Taking them out would totally screw me up. in fact, that is one reason I suck at languages like Python as my habit is to terminate a statement with a semi-colon and Python starts screaming at me it is wrong. I realise this is a personal opinion, but I absolutely hate Python and any language that doesn't use a strong C-Style syntax. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Oh, I say leave the semicolons in. From my perspective, C++ is a new language, and the semicolon is just a syntactical requirement. After all, I have to put periods at the ends of my COBOL statements. (Actually, they're no longer required, but I'm working with people who've been programming in COBOL for 25 years, so from their perspective, the period is required.) Seriously, though, I think that retaining the syntactical rules is probably a good idea. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 1:34 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased! Hi, I hope not. I've been programming in C-Style languages for about 15 years and semi-colons are second nature to me. Taking them out would totally screw me up. in fact, that is one reason I suck at languages like Python as my habit is to terminate a statement with a semi-colon and Python starts screaming at me it is wrong. I realise this is a personal opinion, but I absolutely hate Python and any language that doesn't use a strong C-Style syntax. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hi Lora, That's a good point. Actually, the BGT script language is close enough to C++ that someone learning it will get a fairly good introduction to C-Style languages in the process. They won't learn everything about C++ specifically, but should they ever want to try C++ in the future they will have some fundimentals in place. For that reason sticking with C++ rules such as terminating statements with semi-colons is a good thing. On 3/24/10, Loravara lorav...@comcast.net wrote: Oh, I say leave the semicolons in.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hi Phil, Excellent! As a .NET/JavaScript/PHP/MOO developer myself, this will look like some real fun to play with! I have some suggestions and a question for you. I think it would be a useful function where you would provide a webpage (HTTP protocol), and it would return the result as a string or as an array separated by newlines. Did you by any chance use the Angelscript library? I know you mentioned earlier you used an existing scripting language to power your engine. Angelscript looks like a pretty cool scripting engine. I know you mentioned earlier you were going to put socket support in. When you do, do this, I would recommend some kind of events. IE: onRecieve, onConnect, onDisconnect. I think this would be easier for new programmers to grasp rather than a while loop. I am not very familiar with Angelscript, if your using it or how BGT really works, but I'm wondering if it would be possible for users to extend BGT with C++ code. I think this would be easier for more experienced users to add any necessary features that some people might not use. My last and final question is to everyone else out there. I know Phil has definitely simplified the process of game creation, but how easy do you all find it?(specifically non-programmers).

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!
Hi Ryan, Thank you for the feedback. The BGT engine does indeed use AngelScript as its scripting backend, a truly amazing interpreter if you ask me. I do indeed intend putting in an http interface in the engine, if not only for score posting but also for those who want to interact with servers in some other fancy way. Smile. As for networking, I have indeed thought along the line of an event based implementation but none of the details are finalized yet. I am going to be using ENet, a networking library written and optimized especially for high performance games.

The tool ships with extensive documentation as well as an in-depth language tutorial, which also is available in audio form narrated by a professional voiceover artist. The tool is still in testing and active development, and so I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and any other feedback that springs to mind... So head over to www.blastbay.com right now! I will be patrolling the forum there, ready to answer any questions that you may have. So don't hesitate to sign up and ask questions if you get stuck and, above all, have lots of fun making new and exciting games!
