I'm very glad you like the work I have done. It has been my largest project by far, and I have really enjoyed building everything up from the ground to the point where it is now. I am targeting Windows only as that is the largest potential customer base. If Mac or Linux communities grow to be as large as Windows and I can expect at least a few hundred sales if I make games for these platforms with BGT, you will definitely see both Mac and Linux ports coming. I use BGT exclusively for all my own game development now.

Sounds pretty mag to me. I have to really commend you for creating such a kick butt game engine. Were BGT cross-platform it would be perfect. Of course, I know as well as anyone here that creating a totally cross-platform implementation of a game engine is nothing short of pure hell.

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT 1.0 Release
Hi Will, Yes, there is indeed a demo mode. This has most of the functionality of the purchased versions, except the compiler and the pack_file object i believe. there are no time limits or nag messages. In fact, even for demo mode the licence is quite fair in that it still lets you distribute your games in decompiled format. Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT 1.0 Release
Hi Hayden, I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean now. You give no command to the preprocessor to access strings. Arrays have been in AngelScript all along, but there was talk of simplifying their syntax; especially for multidimentional ones, and so I thought I would wait with writing the documentation for them in BGT until they were changed. But now the BGT release is almost here and the arrays have not changed yet, so I am going to document them as they are.

I will definitely update the audio tutorial to reflect the changes, but not immediately as it costs a lot of money and I need to get some more engine sales in order to be able to afford it. As for compiling games, this is definitely possible. You must be running an old version if you are getting that message. Are you sure you have version 0.5.1?

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT 1.0 Release
Hi Thomas, Thank you very much. I'm very glad you like the work I have done. It has been my largest project by far, and I have really enjoyed building everything up from the ground to the point where it is now. I am targeting Windows only as that is the largest potential customer base. If Mac or Linux communities grow to be as large as Windows and I can expect at least a few hundred sales if I make games for these platforms with BGT, you will definitely see both Mac and Linux ports coming. I use BGT exclusively for all my own game development now.

Sounds pretty mag to me. I have to really commend you for creating such a kick butt game engine. Were BGT cross-platform it would be perfect. Of course, I know as well as anyone here that creating a totally cross-platform implementation of a game engine is nothing short of pure hell. Although, thanks to a good book on the subject and switching to SDL I think my own game engine is just about to actually get off the ground too.

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT 1.0 Release
Hi again, I forgot to answer the dictionary question. The dictionary, the array, and the string types are the three ad-ons in AngelScript that I make use of. These are provided as part of the package for the application writer to include and customize as he or she sees fit. There are a bunch of other add-ons as well but I don't use those; at least not at the moment.

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT 1.0 Release
can the other tutorials about game creation b free downloads for those of us contemplating purchasing at all so we can see how it all fits together?

We are well aware of this, and hope that the upcoming version with its list of features and improvements compensate for the rather long wait. I am providing the current change log for version 1.0 which will be released on December 31st, 2010 as promised to our pre-order users. If you have anything that is not major that you would like to see in the 1.0 release, this is your chance. Respond to this message with any thoughts and suggestions you may have, and I will use them to prioritize my work over the next few days. Now, to the change log: Version 1.0: * Updated the script interpreter to the latest version which fixes some more bugs found by users, as well as adds the following features: 1. The ability to convert booleans to strings. 2. Four new methods to the array called insert_at, remove_at, insert_last and remove_last. 3. Explaining messages when failing to initialize a global variable after a compilation. 4. Explaining messages when trying to declare variables within a switch/case statement. 5. The ability to write floating point numbers as .42, without the leading 0. * Updated the ENet library to the latest version which improves bandwidth throttling of reliable packets. * Added a calendar object for more advanced date and time calculations. * Added the pack_file object to enable reading and writing pack files, which are also used by the sound object. * Extended the language tutorial with several new chapters as well as a section about array initialization lists (thanks Felix). * Added a series of comprehensive tutorials that explain how games are written in practise (thanks Felix). * Added support for sending synchronous HTTP GET and POST requests through two simple functions. * Added the http object which allows for more advanced HTTP access using an asynchronous interface, which means that any number of files/resources can be downloaded in the background from the Internet. * Added two functions (url_encode and url_decode) to make it easier to assemble parameters for Get and Post HTTP requests. * Added the generate_computer_id function. * Added a function to run third party executables. * Added several new file and directory functions (directory_create, directory_delete, directory_exists, and file_delete). * Added an article to the tutorials section of this documentation that explains the various methods used for game registration. * It is now possible to modify an individual character at a particular location in a string, just as if the string were an array. * Added a hash function to the engine which exposes sha256 and sha512 hash generation at present, generated in either hex or binary form. * Added a number of constants listed in appendix e that contain the paths of special folders on the system (thanks Liam). * Added the get_last_error_text function that converts the value returned by get_last_error to its corresponding textual description (thanks Damien). * The array object is now fully documented (thanks Damien). * Added the reset method for the dynamic menu include class to the documentation (thanks Lukás). * Added a virtual audio window include class (thanks Damien). * Added the soundtrack include class which wraps the tone_synth object in a simpler interface (thanks Felix). * The error dialog now displays the contents of a faulty line as well as its number, rather than just the number on its own. * Changed the behavior of the file_exists function so that it only works with files, and added the directory_exists function instead. * Fixed a bug where I had accidentally made float equal to double in the engine. * Fixed a bug in the number_to_words function (thanks Daniel). * Fixed a bug in the string_trim_left function that would cause it to trim one character too little. * Fixed a bug in the string_contains function that would cause it to erroneously return a positive result even if a particular occurrence was not found in rare cases. * Fixed a mistake in the documentation for the set method in the dictionary object (thanks Damien). * Fixed a typo in the example for the freq_ms method in the tone_synth object (thanks Jason). * Updated the end user lisence agreement to clarify the fact that an unlimited number of non-commercial games may also be created with the pro single version of the engine. * Fixed a typo in the documentation for the write method of the logger include class (thanks Michael). * Fixed a large number of trivial typos in the documentation. * Added the default start and end time values for the edge fades in

Hi Josh, I have plans to make some sort of game templates/game creation wizzards to enable those who don't want to learn the scripting language to still make a few games. They will in no way be as customizable as those that one can make with the engine as there you have full control over everything, but the wizzards should still allow you to have some fun and put out a few things. For anything serious though, learning the language is definitely the best approach.

[Audyssey] Upcoming BGT version
Hi all, I just wanted to give a quick update regarding the progress of the BGT engine, as things have been rather quiet over the last month. This new release includes a lot of bugfixes, plus a few new features that many of you have been asking for. This includes support for networking optimized for high speed action games, a complete sound source management system, the ability to compile scripts into standalone executables, etc. Here is the change log, as always: Beta Version 0.5: * Updated the script interpreter to the latest version which fixes some more bugs found by users. * Added a powerful sound management include class that handles positioning of an arbitrary number of sound sources in a 1d or 2d environment. * Updated the functions in sound_positioning.bgt to be more flexible, and added two new ones with extra parameters. This will require some minor modifications to scripts that currently make use of position_sound_2d. * Added support for high performance networking, optimized especially for fast paced action games. * Added a method called run_extended to the dynamic menu include class which allows you to specify a starting position for the menu cursor, and to have the initially selected item automatically announced after the intro finishes. * Added a reset method to the dynamic menu include class that allows you to remove all previously added items, as well as optionally reset all the behavior properties to their defaults. * Added a boolean property called paused to the sound object which is set to true if a sound has been paused with an explicit call to the pause method. * Added a function to convert numbers to their corresponding hexadecimal string counterparts. * Added two functions (find_files and find_directories) that return a list of all the files and all the directories in a given path, respectively. * Made the engine registerable, with automatic detection of the purchased version (lite or pro) based on the key given. * Added the ability to compile scripts into standalone executables if a lite or pro license has been purchased. * Added a credits section to the documentation. * Added a function called get_call_stack_size to retrieve the number of functions currently on the stack. * Allowed the use of multiline strings (e.g. string literals that contain a line feed) (thanks Nick). * Restructured the script execution flow, which will allow the engine to invoke user defined callback functions in the future. * changed the range of the rate property in the tts_voice object from -100 (slowest) to 100 (fastest), so that it is now -10 (slowest) to 10 (fastest) which prevents situations where no change is perceived even though the property is actually modified (thanks Jason). * Fixed a slight inconvenience in the dynamic menu include class where the text to speech and the audio options were not cooperating with one another. * Fixed a bug in the random number generator that would cause it to generate the same sequence of numbers every time (thanks Sorin). * Changed the internal buffer size for streaming sounds in order to boost performance slightly. * Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause static sounds to have an initial starting position greater than 0. * Improved the error output when including script files that do not exist, so that the engine now displays all the locations in which it tried to find the file rather than just the last one. * Fixed a bug in the #include searching algorithm so that it now derives the current base directory for a relative include path based on the location of the script that is trying to include it (thanks Damien). * Fixed a few bugs that would cause crashes when calling certain functions during global variable initialization (thanks Damien). * Made the exit function usable even during global variable initialization. * Fixed a bug where the volume property in the tts_voice object would get incorrect values (thanks Jason). * Fixed a bug where the key_down function could erroniously report that a key was down if the user left the window while the key was still down but released later. * Fixed a few typos in the language tutorial. I hope that some of you will find these new features useful. I'd be very happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions about things that you would like to see in this next release, as I still expect it to be a few days before it's released.

This includes support for networking optimized for high speed action games, a complete sound source management system, the ability to compile scripts into standalone executables, etc. Here is the change log, as always: Beta Version 0.5: * Updated the script interpreter to the latest version which fixes some more bugs found by users. * Added a powerful sound management include class that handles positioning of an arbitrary number of sound sources in a 1d or 2d environment. * Updated the functions in sound_positioning.bgt to be more flexible, and added two new ones with extra parameters. This will require some minor modifications to scripts that currently make use of position_sound_2d. * Added support for high performance networking, optimized especially for fast paced action games. * Added a method called run_extended to the dynamic menu include class which allows you to specify a starting position for the menu cursor, and to have the initially selected item automatically announced after the intro finishes. * Added a reset method to the dynamic menu include class that allows you to remove all previously added items, as well as optionally reset all the behavior properties to their defaults. * Added a boolean property called paused to the sound object which is set to true if a sound has been paused with an explicit call to the pause method. * Added a function to convert numbers to their corresponding hexadecimal string counterparts. * Added two functions (find_files and find_directories) that return a list of all the files and all the directories in a given path, respectively. * Made the engine registerable, with automatic detection of the purchased version (lite or pro) based on the key given. * Added the ability to compile scripts into standalone executables if a lite or pro license has been purchased. * Added a credits section to the documentation. * Added a function called get_call_stack_size to retrieve the number of functions currently on the stack. * Allowed the use of multiline strings (e.g. string literals that contain a line feed) (thanks Nick). * Restructured the script execution flow, which will allow the engine to invoke user defined callback functions in the future. * changed the range of the rate property in the tts_voice object from -100 (slowest) to 100 (fastest), so that it is now -10 (slowest) to 10 (fastest) which prevents situations where no change is perceived even though the property is actually modified (thanks Jason). * Fixed a slight inconvenience in the dynamic menu include class where the text to speech and the audio options were not cooperating with one another. * Fixed a bug in the random number generator that would cause it to generate the same sequence of numbers every time (thanks Sorin). * Changed the internal buffer size for streaming sounds in order to boost performance slightly. * Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause static sounds to have an initial starting position greater than 0. * Improved the error output when including script files that do not exist, so that the engine now displays all the locations in which it tried to find the file rather than just the last one. * Fixed a bug in the #include searching algorithm so that it now derives the current base directory for a relative include path based on the location of the script that is trying to include it (thanks Damien). * Fixed a few bugs that would cause crashes when calling certain functions during global variable initialization (thanks Damien). * Made the exit function usable even during global variable initialization. * Fixed a bug where the volume property

Hi Kevin, No, as a matter of fact they are not quite set. I have been thinking a lot about this recently, and have decided to restructure the whole pricing system based on user feedback that I have received. I will post more information about this soon.

Hi Thomas, I'm glad you think so. I'll be tweaking and adding a few more things before release, but it should not be too long now.

I agree with Thomas. As for the price thing, I think you should still keep the option of the unrestricted license for those, however few they might be, who might want to make use of it. It might take me longer to afford to pay for it but I'd certainly want to go that route.

Re: [Audyssey] Upcoming BGT version
Hi Shaun, Which games are you refering to? If you can give me some examples, I'll look into it and perhaps speak with the authors about what changes have to be made. Since the engine is still very much in beta, it is necessary for me to break backwards compatibility in almost every version in order to improve things. This is part of the beta stage. Once it reaches 1.0, however, the core will not change often; if at all.
