We're open.
Come in for a free trial of GFX Weather Engine.

I can't D:

Is it possible to recieve the demo by a PM?

You can request by PM. Include the following Data:
Do you have GM7 Pro? y/n

What can you expect from today's meeting?

-> The DSe Menu.
-> If you're programmer you're especially welcome to join today, as the DSe comes with the ability to run applications in it. Just for the fun, we could write applications that have nothing to do with the main game, like minigames or a Befunge interpreter.
-> Layout, Items, Important Items

Don't miss it!

Note:

Unfortunately there will not be a meeting tomorrow, Saturday, September 5, because I'm not at home over the weekend.
At least, there is no official meeting.
Whoever wants to can still go and chat with others, but you can do that always, anyway.

Sorry
I really wanted to show you Waluigi and a couple of other stuff.

If you join today's Meeting you can get to see:
- Waluigi
- NPCs
- Improved Walljump for Mario
- A new level (especially for musicians this should be interesting)
- Checkpoints & Death
- and some other stuff, possibly water

Discussion involves the usual stuff:
- We still need to decide a goal and checkpoint (although for Checkpoint Grey and I had a good idea that's already on the to-do list)
- Who-sprites-what. If you're a spriter, you should really show up.
- Worldmap HUD
- various other stuff

OPEN.

>_> let's try this again tomorrow.

I really thought someone would like to see Waluigi...

I would love to, but aim doesn't work for me


any chance I could get it through a pm?

As said, nobody was here today, so the meeting is tomorrow instead. If you can't come on AIM, I'll send you a PM then.

People: come to these meetings. Even if you're new to the project. It's never too late to get started!

We're open again. Join the AIM buddy chat!
If you're not yet in, IM me on AIM!

Loadsa cool new stuff!

Even after restarting, the text boxes still glitch up the same way.

Thanks to Char helping me out with some test programs and the help of google, I fixed this.

In short: I used surface_free() but surface_free only frees the memory but the surface stays in graphics card memory on some cards, so it will be reloaded next time even though it was freed.
draw_clear_alpha() solves the problem.

Good to hear.

We're open again. Same topics as last time.

Today's Meeting will most probably take place about an hour later than normal.
This might even make it possible for more of you to join.


Today's engine demo includes the following:
- More levels
- Nicer Worldmap
- Snowball Chase
- Boss Bass
- Other cool new enemies
- and other.

Don't miss it!

MUSICIANS:
You are especially asked to join today, because we have a couple of different levels and scenarios that require original music instead of the SM64 dummies I used so far.

Unfortunately the meeting of today has to be postponed to tomorrow, I hope you're alright with that.

The problem is that the things I wanted to show aren't quite done yet, and I rather have your opinion on the finished things than on anything else, and there aren't really any other topics so urgent to talk about.

However if you join in tomorrow you get to see:
The goal
The checkpoint
The minigames that come with the goal
The item system in the DSe

We're OPEN!

Minigames, Items, yummy!
