First of all thank you hgy29 for making Gideros awesome

I may have found an issue with RenderTarget?
The code below creates a gradient bg with some moving stars

-- a gradient bg local bggradient = Pixel.new(0xffffff, 1, 800, 480) -- set a white color to start with bggradient:setColor(0x0, 1, 0x00007f, 1, -90) -- a gradient set horizontally bggradient:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5) -- stars local spritestars = Sprite.new() -- a sprite to hold all star shapes for i = 1, 512 do -- PaulH local s = Shape.new() s:setLineStyle(2, 0xffffff) s:moveTo(0, 0) s:lineTo(1, 1) s:endPath() s:setPosition(math.random(0, 800), math.random(0, 480)) s:setScale(math.random(5, 15) / 10) s:setAlpha(math.random(10, 50) / 50) spritestars:addChild(s) end -- render stars to a render target --local rtstars = RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false) -- BUG?* local rtstars = RenderTarget.new(800, 480) -- FIX** rtstars:draw(spritestars) rtstars:save("|T|bgstars.png") -- FIX** -- create an image (Pixel) of the stars --local bgstars = Pixel.new(rtstars, 800, 480) -- BUG?* local texstars = Texture.new("|T|bgstars.png", nil, {wrap=TextureBase.REPEAT, extend=false}) -- FIX** local bgstars = Pixel.new(texstars, 800, 480) -- FIX** bgstars:setColorTransform(7/255, 221/255, 219/255, 1) bgstars:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5) local texscale = 0.7 bgstars:setTextureScale(texscale, texscale) -- position bggradient:setPosition(800/2, 480/2) bgstars:setPosition(800/2, 480/2) -- order stage:addChild(bggradient) stage:addChild(bgstars)   -- game loop local velx = 0 function onEnterFrame(e) -- move the stars velx -= e.deltaTime * 128 bgstars:setTexturePosition(velx, 0) end stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame)

The suspected issue: RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false)
- the true parameter is repeating (default = false) OK
- the false parameter is extend (default = true) NOT OK?
https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/RenderTarget.new

Expected behavior : RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false) to create a repeatable texture with extend to pot set to false

Actual result: the texture repeats itself BUT there is a gap in the texture when it scrolls (bgstars:setTexturePosition(velx, 0)). So I suspect extend to be at fault?

PS: you can uncomment all BUG* lines and comment all FIX** lines to see the issue.

PS2: to fix the issue I save the rt to file then set {wrap=TextureBase.REPEAT, extend=false} and it works.

PS3: you can copy/paste the code and it should work

Hope that makes sense , thank you.

good news for windows devs windows app store will soon allow all kind of apps

Support for more types of apps

Starting today, Windows developers can publish any kind of app, regardless of app framework and packaging technology – such as Win32, .NET, UWP, Xamarin, Electron, React Native, Java and even Progressive Web Apps. Developers can sign-up here to publish desktop apps, or build and package PWAs using our latest open-source tool PWABuilder 3.
