Here it is; SimpleCard 1.0!

There are a lot of things missing from this version, but they will come - just give it time. At the moment, there are no plans to change the runtime, but try it out - don't use the in-editor graphics editor though, because I used Redd's basic paint code which is really quite nice, but doesn't really do an awful lot other than draw a single pencil line.

Everything else appears to be complete... saving, loading, basic structure... yep

All done.

Have fun, make some really awful games and let me see them - I'd also like to hear of any bugs and any suggestions you might care to think of too.

Windows runtime will be available with 1.1.

This is pretty nice.

Though there seems to be a bug when you try to switch cards, it won't let me get to any other cards than card one.

I'm not really fond of the way everything is jumbled up into one folder.

Can't you put everything in a data folder or the app's package altogether?

Hmm. Well, your config files aren't going to any cards. Perhaps you mean the editor.... yes, uhm... well... I didn't really build that feature yet...

The 1-50 counter is there to save cards, but I totally forgot about loading old ones and 'switching' cards in the editor.

Fixed for 1.1.

Data folder was what I had in mind originally; will be fixed for 1.1.

How would I put the files into the Runtime's package and still get them to load properly?

Since you're thinking of doing this on other platforms as well:

Code: [Select]

Dim F As FolderItem

#If TargetMacOS

   // Folder "Resources" in Application bundle
   F = App.ExecutableFile.Parent.Parent.Child("Resources").Child("Resources")

#Else

   // load code from data folder.
   F = GetFolderItem("Data")

#EndIf

So I can save all the files into a temporary session folder and then when the user wishes to compile, just do...

Code: [Select]

F1 = (data folder syntax)
F2 = App.ExecutableFile.Parent.Child("Resources")
F1.copyfolderto(F2)

No.

Code: [Select]

App.ExecutableFile.Parent.Parent.Child("Resources").Child("Data").CreateAsFolder

Dim F1 As FolderItem = GetFolderItem("Data")
Dim F2 As FolderItem = App.ExecutableFile.Parent.Parent.Child("Resources").Child("Data")

For i As Integer = 1 To F1.Count
   F1.Item( i ).CopyFileTo F2.Child( F1.Item( i ).Name )
Next

Or something along those lines.

Then just load the stuff from the Data folder within the App's Resources one.

Fantastic, I'll give it a try later

Redd · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2009, 11:12:53 AM »

Ugh, stupid mistake. I forgot to add a second parent to get out of the executable's folder. XD

Posts fixed!

I'm trying the code, but I can't get it to work with TextInputStream :\\

Here's what I've done;

Code: [Select]

    Dim F As FolderItem
    Dim t As TextInputStream
    dim loader as string
    dim largeloader as Variant
    'f=GetFolderItem(CardNumber.StringValue + ".cfg")
    F = (app.ExecutableFile.Parent.Parent.Child("Resources").Child("Resources").Child(CardNumber.StringValue + ".cfg"))
    if F.exists = true then
      t=f.OpenAsTextFile

Normally, if we do F = GetFolderItem(CardNumber.StringValue + ".cfg"), and it doesn't exist, it just goes to the else part of the first IF block and displays a message and politely quits. If I use this, RB gets stuck on if "F.exists = true then" and returns NilObjectExpectation.

Also, if I try "F = GetFolderItem(Application....)" then it says that the parameters are not compatible with the GetFolderItem function.

Sounds like the editor and runtime aren't handling the files right. I'll contact you on MSN.

Telstar5 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2009, 02:57:32 PM »

Did you manage to get it fixed?

Redd · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2009, 04:28:16 PM »

Editor done, starting the Runtime.

Telstar5 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 21, 2009, 04:34:33 PM »

Could you send me the editor as it is now?
