Alpha 3 on top: When generating binary then ZGE will create an application bundle for your project. This is required for an application to receive keypresses. So if your project is named "test.zgeproj" then it will create the application bundle "test.app". This can be started in ...

New alpha on top:
- Fixed possible file corruption when saving projects with binary properties (such as BitmapFromFile)
- F9 now works to build and launch project

Still no keyboard support though, hope to fix that soon.

It looks like it has problems saving the settings file. This does not happen here. Maybe try moving the application to Application folder or to desktop and see if it makes a difference.

Yes I can open and run it! I was able to load CleanseCube and run it both from ZGE and make a build. Some warnings were popping up in the process but I guess it's nothing unexpected (although one of the errors did sound a bit scary, warning me that I might end up with corrupt data). I did take scre...

Here is first alpha build. I'm posting this mostly to see if rrTea can open it at all :) Note: - This is very early and most things do not yet work. - This is a Intel build so if using on M1 Mac then it requires Rosetta 2 to be installed. - You may need to enable running applications downloaded from...

I agree, very cool example!

Not sure I actually updated the public build. Please try again now.

I've now fixed the access violation. Please download ZGE again to test.

Edit: the latest alpha build is attached here. ---- I'm looking at making the ZGE editor available on Mac. Previously only the runtime engine works on Mac but this is an attempt at making the whole editor working. The main problem with porting the editor is that it depends on the Delphi VCL which is...

So far it seems to be two separate problems: - Channel 0 and 1 active and volume are set to default values by the designer. This seems to override settings in zgeproj files. - Assigning audiomixer properties in expressions fails with player.bin that is built with Freepascal in 64-bit build. I'll con...

AudioMixer is treated specially in the engine so there is a possibility something got wrong in the transition to 64-bit. I'll investigate.

Here is a 32-bit build from the current sources.

Hope VilleK would have a 32bit version. Not too keen on ver 5.0 though since it has taken away the small size exe ability. The world is 64-bit now and 32-bit is treated by modern OS as legacy at best (or simply rejected, as on macOS). I'd like to avoid having two different builds and downloads. But...

In general, I would recommend using the sound editor. Trying to set individual properties in the properties panel is not very productive. The sound editor is designed to make it possible to create a variety of sounds but I totally understand it is daunting to use if you don't have previous experienc...

Exactly what Kjell said. He is the true ZGE guru
