@all ok gideros is a wonderful engine but why do you want to make games only, what about apps. I think a good example of one possible app is this video. I believe it can easily be done in gideros:

I believe it's going to be my next project...

I have already implemented this piece of code:

function Map:createMap()
	self.map = {}
	self.mapid = {}
 
	-- load map.txt and add each line to self.map
	for line in io.lines("MAPS/map.txt") do
		self.map[#self.map + 1] = line
	end
 
	-- store the position of the rooms as an indexed table
	local x = 2 -- number of chars for the map id
	for l = 1, #self.map do
		self.mapid[l] = {}
		for c = 1, #self.map[l] - 1, x do -- step x
			local id = string.sub(self.map[l], c, c + x - 1)
			if id == "ro" then
				self.mapid[l][#self.mapid[l] + 1] = 1
			else
				self.mapid[l][#self.mapid[l] + 1] = 0
			end
		end
	end
 
	-- tiles
	local mytilesmap = {}
	local mymaptexture = Texture.new("MAPS/texture_mask_16_x01.png")
	for t = 1, 16 do
		local mymaptextureregion = TextureRegion.new(mymaptexture, (t - 1) * 16, 0, 16, 16)
		mytilesmap[#mytilesmap + 1] = mymaptextureregion
	end
 
	-- draw map
	local spritemap = Sprite.new()
	local tileid = 0
 
	for l = 1, #self.mapid do
		for c = 1, #self.mapid[l] do
			if self.mapid[l][c] == 1 then
				tileid = 0
				if self:getContactAt(c, l - 1) then tileid += 1 end
				if self:getContactAt(c + 1, l) then tileid += 2 end
				if self:getContactAt(c, l + 1) then tileid += 4 end
				if self:getContactAt(c - 1, l) then tileid += 8 end
				local mytilebmp = Bitmap.new(mytilesmap[tileid])
				mytilebmp:setPosition((c - 1) * mytilebmp:getWidth(), (l - 1) * mytilebmp:getHeight())
				spritemap:addChild(mytilebmp)
			end
		end
	end
 
	spritemap:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
	spritemap:setScale(1.5)
	spritemap:setPosition(1.375 * myappwidth / 4, 0.25 * myappheight / 4)
	self:addChild(spritemap)
end
 
function Map:getContactAt(xc, xl)
	if self.mapid[xl][xc] == 1 then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

Viva gideros!

Wow it's nice!
Why do you use 'Tilesetter' from steam instead of free 'Tiled' editor?
Are there any advantages?

MoKaLux · September 2019

@Apollo14 I don't use tilesetter (nor tiled). I want to make my own so I can use it for my projects. It's hard to explain but the video shows the whole process: you draw 2 tiles and it generates a whole tileset. I'll try to make a demo when I have something good to show and share.

Is a class of gideros that generates 9 tiles from one tile

MoKaLux · September 2019

some progress I did with the above mentioned project (which is delaying the new gideros install)
So to recap the concept:
PART 1
- you only draw one tile (any size will do 12*12, 32*32, ...)
- and the project transforms this one tile into a full tileset!
This part is done (maybe some fine tuning)
PART 2
- you draw your basic map (in notepad or any other text editor) and save it as .txt
- the project will select automatically the right tile to draw from the tileset
This part is half done, I need to set the appropriate tile ID.

Voilà. Will share soon, stay tuned

@MoKaLux
Professional artists create tiles with a filter - "offset"

MoKaLux · September 2019

@oleg cool tutorial, I will try her method to make the tile I need for my program.

it's not a good lesson, but it shows the idea.
You just do a 1000x1000 drawing
Then you draw the texture of the tile
Then you apply an offset filter 50% right and 50% down
Now in photoshop you can scroll through the texture by pressing the "alt+ctrl+f" button

--To draw a block of 9 tiles, the offset filter must be moved by 33%

MoKaLux · September 2019

ok I have finished my app (see above examples). Polishing took quite some time. When you run the app it will save your tileset to your C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\gideros\mkgiOneTileToTileset\documents\finalts.png (on windows).

This was just a challenge to myself to see that I could do a "tilesetter" clone using gideros in a short period of time. Viva gideros.

PS: the tile size must be a power of 2.

Make world of warcraft but in warcraft 2 fashion

MoKaLux · September 2019

I posted my project to itch.io:
https://mokalux.itch.io/onetiletotileset

You can save on windows and android but not html5 (I don't know how to read the html5 database).

Viva gideros!

I finished my project because I wanted a quick way to build tilemaps for my other future projects (spoiler: platformers)
Please have a look at the latest release on itch.io. You can try it on the browser or even better download the windows version.
https://mokalux.itch.io/onetiletotileset
Please let me know if this is useful to you. Can be used in TILED for example or through code directly.
A quick recap: you draw only one tile and the app turns it into a full tilemap!

PS: it was a nice experience. Gideros has it all.
PS2: android version ready. Need to publish it
PS3: GIDEROS & FORUM ROCK!

@MoKaLux Congratulations

antix · November 2019

@MoKaLux pretty cool. I never thought of making embedded Gideros apps before!

I've gone down the dark path of JavaScript + HTML + CSS + Electron for my latest crazy experiment

Don't forget that you can make gideros GApp"addons"

@oleg, true, is there even a tutorial on that though?

I will try to do it.

antix · November 2019

Not exactly what I would call a tutorial. How does it work? How do I request a file or foldername? Does it even have that functionality?

SinisterSoft · November 2019

You add a file type, then if that file is clicked on in the project then the file will be read by the editor (like the sfx and tile map editor examples) you then edit and can save.

To get the name of the folders and files you need to parse the listFiles output
-- List project files
print(json.encode(Studio.listFiles()))

@oleg, okay thanks.

Basically Gideros is not geared for creating apps that open and save files using a point and click interface.

Maybe I'll do a class for that

what do you mean? I have a button save and when you click it it saves (an image in my case) and a button load to load (an image in my case). That doesn't work on html though.

antix · November 2019

@MoKaLux When you click your button.. does it open a native file requester that allows you to set the files path and filename? This is the kind of file access I'm talking about here.. the kind that's useful for real applications

MoKaLux · November 2019

@antix yes it does. Using the media plugin, you click the button then on windows it opens the save dialog box and you can choose your path and set a file name.

https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Media

antix · November 2019

@MoKaLux interesting. It might be good if the media plugin could be stripped to have only native file request abilities and then be repackaged as a new plugin just for that purpose. For actual file operations the io library inside Gideros seems sufficient.

I'm assuming the media plugin works on Mac and Linux also?
