Gideros 2021.1 Released - Merry Christmas!

SinisterSoft · December 2020

@hgy29 has been hard at work with a major new feature and he decided to make it an early Christmas present- Sprite Effects! It would be great if you would all wish him and his family a Merry Christmas (or better, donate to Gideros!) in return...

To see how SpriteEffects work, take a look at the Bloom example...

Sprite effects can even be applied to Stage:

local bloom=ShaderEffect.Bloom.new(sw,sh)
bloom:setRadiusAndGlow(7,4)
bloom:apply(stage)

New features
Implement Sprite effects

Changes on Apple targets (now they are out of beta)
Metal is now the only renderer (completely removed OpenGL on Apple)
Moved the code base to use ARC system (some plugins may still malfunction)
Added macos support: the exported project now targets ios, apple tv and macos.

Improvements
[plugin/tntvirtualpad] changed function distance to math.distance and pii to math.pi
[plugin/imgui] Changes ImGui:beginFullscreenWindow(). It is now have padding by default.
[plugin/imgui] Drawlist items can be now rotated.
[gfx/shaders] Allow to specify multiple shader type and variant, plus inheritance
[sample/bloom] Use effects lib instead of GLSL only shader
[library/shaders] Add effects library (Bloom/Blur)

Fixes
[android] Fix onTextInput char counting
[plugin/camera] Fix for Metal on Apple devices
[plugin/camera] Ensure given texture is actually a RenderTarget
[plugin/imgui] Fixed existing images function and added new "scaled" functions.
[plugin/imgui] Fixed data plotting.
[plugin/imgui] Fixed drag&drop.
[plugin/ads] Switch to podfile for AdMob on iOS
[export/apple] General fixes related to Apple target overhaul

Thanks @SinisterSoft.
And thanks to @rrraptor who worked hard on the ImGui plugin too!

SinisterSoft · December 2020

@rrraptor Yes, thanks for your hard work - I know I'll be using it in future projects. Merry Christmas!

keszegh · December 2020

is there a ShaderEffect documentation coming? it sounds fun.

hgy29 · December 2020

@keszegh yes, minimalist currently, but hopefully soon with more details/examples.
https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Sprite:setEffectStack

keszegh · December 2020

thanks @hgy29 , looks powerful, but i wouldn't be able to use it just by this docs (also ShaderEffect word is not even mentioned there). are there also new examples for it?

hgy29 · December 2020

The old Bloom example has been converted to use it. The ShaderEffect is actually a lua library bundled with Gideros (as part of the luashader library). And yes it should be documented on the Wiki.

Merry Christmas to all of Giderans.

@hgy29 and @SinisterSoft to you and to all other Maintainers, contributors,donators a special thanks for your hard-work. How many years has passed Gideros has decided to go Opensource that i have already forget. But i can easily say that because of your efforts and additions to Gideros, it became much more different, handy and beautiful.

I wish the best for all of you guys. Be healthy, be rich and most important be HAPPY in the new upcoming year.

hgy29 · December 2020

Note that this new Effects stuff has not been heavily tested. I am doing more tests currently, and already found an issue with Metal, and possibly a memory leak. There will be a 2021.1.1 in january, no doubt.

thank you for your hard work team

Do you think you can also add it to Framework/Engine Bindings/Backends section of ImGUI?

Will try to improve the wiki asap but I am a bit into r3d right now. Thank you rrraptor

MoKaLux · December 2020

a gideros 2021.1 android player is available. Lots of plugins included (except firebase and 1 or 2 others tested but failed so I removed them). Built with android version 30!!! Tested with an app running liquidfun and that works. It's built in debug mode but that works ok.

I think the funding model that used to be the best, I took gideros for free but when I started the games there was a guderos logo. Then my game brought me money and I bought gideros..

I suggest when updating Gideros to make 2 versions of the engine. One version with the Gideros logo should be made public, and the other version without the logo should be given only to those who have made a donation. And you have to pay for each update.

keszegh · December 2020

@oleg, going back and forth between free+open source and paid software would not build trust. also that funding model failed once already and the market became even more saturated by now.

The market has not become more saturated -new engines are not so much. The engine will remain free, but just at the start of the program will be the Gideros logo, it will not reduce the demand for it, but on the contrary will allow you to expand your audience. And I do not think that it is difficult to do it - it already was ..

keszegh · December 2020

@oleg, whatever you think. personally, i've never spent money on gideros before it went open source, yet since then have donated and kickstarted a lot more than i've ever imagined i would, while still being happy about my choice.

Will you finance the development of Gideros yourself? Do not need additional funds for development ?, ok...

After building on Xcode 11.4.1 or Xcode 12.2 I will get the following error:

failed to read asset tags: unexpected error generating result tags (images.xcassets)

rrraptor · December 2020

If executable path contains utf chars, then app does not run:

rrraptor · December 2020

Also, if you press CLTR+R while player window is focused, you will get this:
"cannot open init.lua: No such file or directory"
but if you restart app from gideros then its OK.

Yep can confirm that plus if you have player stay on top activated it gets deactivated!

TAME addon does not work and GSFXREditor cant save a sound. Maybe something wrong with "editFile" studio field?

SinisterSoft · January 2021

TAME will show a map - load one of the map demos and double-click on the map file.

SinisterSoft · January 2021

Create an empty sound file (.sfx) in your project, double-click it to edit it. Click save to save it.

Found the issue (bad merge), fix is on the way.

Got it. But I think there should be an error message/instruction or something to prevent from this:

Same here

GriseldaBurroughs · January 2021

Hello, gideros platform, do you already have VR solutions ?

talis · January 2021

Hello @GriseldaBurroughs , welcome to forum.
We had functionality for viewports, and 3d support functionality also existed already and everyday some new things are added.
I found some example for google card board from the old post. you can check it in browser.
http://giderosmobile.com/examples#VR/Bird Animation 3D

And here is the forum post:
http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/48350/#Comment_48350

For 3D animation you can also follow this topic:
http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/7868/3d-animation#latest

Maybe someone else can supply you more recent answer to that question hence 3D and VR is not my point of interest so much.
