However before I can start on the credentials I'll need 'Dirry' support

The time has come now to prepare for starting a new game... In order to be as compatible as possible with mobile devices, I am not gonna work with keyboard input, so it's all mouse clicks, yes even with entering your Game Jolt Credentials.

It appears to be working now! Yay!

Take II

Several issues

Apparently not

And now to see if it works - Take I

Linked the linksup script to the sub

Made the actual music library

Enabling me to set the music routine up at last

And that should all link it up

Interstate glue code

Intersate APIs

And now i could finally fix some bugs that came in this procoess

The #use directive has been completely configured for use in Apollo

I see that thing go wrong much sooner than that

THe program just ends without a warning... This is a bit terrible as now I do not know what is actually going on

I've tried what will happen when I put the use statement in to get "Anyway" done

I wonder how long the old bug with JCR6 file requirements is gonna haunt me (simply having to recompile stuff, but still annoying)

I've set up the security data generator

But at least I got one notice of an upcoming update

A bit setback now.... NONE of the libraries I tried so far to get http calls done in VS works... One one with the least terrible results produced over 200 error messages. Always funny how unaltered code can work sometimes, eh?

And now it DOES work

Coordinate error

Illegal function call

Did I fix it now?

Guess....

Pretty please!

PLEASE!

Does it work now?

MOAR!

More crap

Another test then....

Yeah, I know I suck

Those were faults in the linkup script

And I even see an error pop up now

None of the menu items WORK yet!

The menu should now appear

why didn't I do so before?

Draw Text API function linked to Neil

And time to get some rest, I reckon

All repositories updated

I cannot completely prevent an FPS loss, but it has become less drastic than it originally was.

AT LAST!

either 1 or 0, even when deliberately set to float

It seems we got ourselves a REAL cockroach here

Moar data required

Well, I guess I gotta sort that out, so I made the scaling and coloring 'var' types, so no manipulation at all can take place

Do numbers only act as integers?

Bug debug (prepare for a VERY low framerate)

That SHOULD be fixed now....

It appears that I made another scoping error?

Wait a minute, I think I solved the mystery

But that line shows the only possible reason happens NOT to be the reason???

The log shows that the entire for-loop is not skipped.... At least, done3 isn't updated... I've added an extra debug line that should be the answer why this happens

more debug needed

NeilProject/Neil#16 -- But that's one to sort out later (should be an easy fix)

I need to know so extra debug lines have been set in place

It no longer freeze, but now it skips the scroll completely

Hmmmm

hmmmmm

Scaling error on mouse pointer

Well, I really don't know, but I gotta try... i guess

The results shown in the log are getting more and more ridiculous, really!

A timeout catchup

Well And another test :-/

A few extra debug lines will have to help out here

For some odd reason, the system keeps looping the start up callback... There is no way in which this should be possible, so I wonder why this happens

What I see is that it keeps repeating the start event, and throws a flow in....

I need to sort out why

everything freezes... But no clue why

I need to sort out if this works

Running

misformed "if"

Altframing config incomplete

Take III

C++ to script linkup typo fixed

Take II

Which has been fixed of course!

Ah, because it was mispelled in Neil's keyword list

I wonder why it didn't recognize "and" as a keyword

Two code typos

Well, gotta wait and see I suppose

I've translated my Blitzmax code to Neil... Hopefully it will create the same results

Scope errors

There are still some iconless tags, but they will be recovered over time...

I think I fixed that....

Internal error.....

Let us see if it all works now.... :-/

It's always important to check that all.... I hate that, but that's the woe of a new engine, I guess....

Missing link

Hey I need to finish that project too, you know!

Star Story Stuff

I need a break now....

Yup, it's fixed!

Well that should sove the matter

That has been done now

Ah, some assets were still not properly transferred

And I need to find out why!

for some reason things go wrong on showing the logos

before this tune can be fully implemented though, I do need to get some things done first, though

As a result I can confirm that "Once upon a time around the solar system" by Eric Matyas has been succesfully aliased and is now useable for the game... Whooohooo!

And that was succesful

I've had to modify the Apollo builder in order to make sure aliases were properly taken care of

Yup, the pointer moves with the mouse!

Since this is an auto-api (as the events do not require extra data like images, fonts, kthura maps and so on do I could easily do that), the NEIL linking will happen automatically.

API Written for mouse position capturing

I've set a mouse pointer in the game... it does not yet respond to the mouse though, as I didn't yet put that feature into Apollo... Which is of course what will happen next.

Image.Obtain

And shows me I need to set up an SDL_Graphics panic system, as the stuff that happened had to throw an error, that's for sure

A lot of internal linkings were busted

Take IV

Internal error

Take III

Apparently, so!

Can I compile properly now?

Before I could recompile though I had to force something off

I think I took care of a needless hang-up on last-minute Lua panics

Take II

See... it didn't work.... A code typo

Of course I may not take this for granted so let's see how things go, eh?

And fix everything

This should establish the link

Part two done

Part one done

I forgot to link the tiling to the scripting

And that should fix everything

I forced that loop to stop!

This turned into an infinite loop

Extreme panic on duplicate error messages... Now only the first will show in a Blue Screen of Death, any later errors will only show on the CLI console...

Added tiling to the scripting APIs

Neither of them are useful on this point, but at least I cannot forget about them anymore

And the Phantasar font (for the secret Phantasar part).

The fonts do need conversion, and I did so on the Astrilopup font

Or should I have used this take in stead?

I forgot to alter the Width and Height methods in TQSG

When loading from JCR6, altframing should happen automatically, *if* a frames file is present.

Although untested I don't expect any serious trouble, but hey, ya never know!

AltFraming made possible in TQSG

I can already see I may need to modify TQSG, which is a driving power under Apollo.... I hope that goes well, as it may not be an easy thing to do

Issue in Neil causing type names in strings to trigger Neil, while they shouldn't

But first a break... I'm tired....

I needed C# here as C and C++ have no default directory read-out library, and why is anyone's guess.... (well, in the older days it was due to OS incompatibilities, but that excuse should in 2020 AD no longer be valid)

A Builder for Apollo games has been created... I only need to make sure it picks up libraries accordingly

There is still a lot to be done, though, before the starting shot can sound... And Dyrt is not yet finished either, so I still got some WORK to do!

And let's say I will no longer post the Apollo stuff on the old Dyrt Devlog as a result.

Indeed that works... whooohooo!

I see now...

Site icon there now... I will try to set the others over time (and the other tags will cause the older posts to be updated automatically, so no issue there!)

I do not know why the border colors don't show...

Date and time stuff didn't show

Ah... For some odd reason it was still using the old Dyrt Template, even though I clearly instructed it not to

Still no good I see

Let's see how things look now

Clearly all pictures show, so their URLS must be correct
