Yes, I'm not that happy with the usability of the lock preview feature.
A separate icon could work, I will try that!

I just answered you post about the hello world - tutorial, and here you are back already with another good idea, thanks

Ah, more good suggestions :) I updated the tutorial and component reference with a bit of information of the coordinate system used for rendering text. The current font-handling is not very good, the text looks unprofessional for various reasons. I am planning to add a feature for importing bitmappe...

Thank you for all this feedback! I really want the tutorials to be easy to understand. When creating the PlayerModel you set CollisionBounds = 0.5 0.5 but there are four fields and you don't explain what each field is. I just added this: "Notice that CollisionBounds have four edit fields, but w...

The new components for reading from a file now have reference documentation:

The FileDemo sample project demonstrates how to read from a file:

Thanks for the tip sajith, I will check it out!

Hey Boris, nice to see you are still with us :) The collision tests are 2d-only at the moment. You can still make it work by adding a Condition-component to the OnCollision property list which tests the z-value. You also need to take care that you won't have repeated collisions. When you reverse the...

I'm proud to announce the first public release of ZGameEditor!

It can be downloaded from the new ZGameEditor-homepage: www.zgameeditor.org.

Direct link to download page.

You see, it helps to ask many times

I probably shouldn't add new features so close to the 1.0 release, but Boris have been asking for this feature for so long so here it is: * New components for reading from a file: File, FileAction, FileMoveData - File represents a file on disk - FileAction controls when to read from a File - FileMov...

This latest version of the beta is a release candidate for the 1.0 version.

Changes:

* Only minor fixes in this release

Note: If you are using Firefox 2.0 as a browser, you may need to hold SHIFT while clicking on the download link to enable the "save" button in the download dialog.

You have different spawnmodel SpawnStyles. Set the SpawnStyle to
Reference for XModel and it will work.

Well I don't need files for this kind of games .... I have ideas for much more interesting and bigger games :) Sounds very interesting :D The thing I though about Bouncer was that it could load level layout from files, so that you could have very different looking levels like in "Arkanoid".

This is cool stuff, a Break Out clone, well done :) I can see why you need to read level data from files. I'm working on this feature, and it will be the first release after the 1.0 release. I will take a closer look at your project later to see if there is anything to comment, but at first look it ...

I've posted a new article on the documentation page in preparation for the 1.0 release:

I can see the problem

I will make the sliders narrower and make the buttons
visible by aligning them to the right border.

As an alternative to using the sliders, you can click and
drag with left or right mouse button on the 3d-display.
