@tumira Thanks for checking, I will see if I can upload an APK of a couple of the demos packaged with CocoonJS

 

@Ousaf Was it the editor that stuck or one of the demos?

First version of the Booty5 manual in e-book form is now available from http://booty5.com/booty5-free-html-game-maker-e-book-manual/

That action list editor takes me back to wc3 times, suchs a beauty

Does this support 2d games only or does it use webgl?

[drmop]

2D only and its pure Canvas at the moment. The next step for the editor is to offer export for PIXI and / or Phaser, so it will get WebGL support from there.

Booty5 the HTML5 Game Maker v1.9.0b is now available for free download. Support for tile map rendering has been added to the engine, whilst support for tile map editing has been added to the game maker. A quick screen shot of the new tile map editor is shown below:

 

 

Full list of changes include:

Game Engine v1.4.6:

• Added new actor type called MapActor which can render tiled maps
• Support added to Xoml for loading Booty5 game editor exported tile maps
• Fix: Actor.vr wasn't updating transform

Game Editor v1.9.0b:

• Added support for tile maps (any sprite actor can now be changed to a tile map by changing RenderAs type to Tile Map)

@Booty5

 

Would like to request that you add

-optional 2d level editor from here http://overlap2d.com/  (just open sourced)

-Support scml

-2d lighting

[theweirdn8]

By the way your keys example is not working on Google Chrome....

 

I'll download the newer version; but I remember I tried to compile and things kept crashing....

 

I will see if this works with Nintendo's Web Framework well for you.

 

It would be nice for another engine to work on consoles.

 

Edit: all apps are broken in Chrome.

Which version of Chrome are you running? I've tested on v41 (Windows desktop) and all demos work on that version. Were there any errors reported in console?

 

Thanks, be interested to learn if everything works with Nintendo's framework.

Thanks, will take a look at overlap2d, not heard of that editor before.

[theweirdn8]

I'm using Version 41.0.2272.118 m

 

Also, the app works, just not the input(mouse+keys) on Chrome here...

 

On I.E I was able to actually use mouse+keys.

 

[drmop]

I'm also running 41.0.2272.118 m. Is it just trouble with Tiled Map demo? I will see if I can test across a number of different desktops.

[theweirdn8]

With Leapo you get, "Uncaught ReferenceError: Timeline is not defined".

[drmop]

Oops, would appear that I forgot to update the example projects to the latest version on Github, fixed it now

[theweirdn8]

Okay, I'll give it another try later. If things work nicely I'll ask Nintendo for official support for it. I recommend you register as a 3rd party/middleware tools dev. See https://wiiu-developers.nintendo.com/signup/index.php

[drmop]

Thanks, will do

[theweirdn8]

One more thing, I recommend not launching the help at the beginning, it is being hidden and the only way to access it is through task manager....

Another week on and another update, I rolled this one out quickly because text preview has now been added to Booty5, making it quite important. There was also a nasty bug in multiple fixture shape export which needed urgently fixing.

Booty5 the HTML5 Game Maker v1.9.1b is now available for free download.

Editor Changes:

• Scale and angle are now affected in multiple actor selections
  
• Editor export properties now supports smoothing property that will enable / disable anti-aliasing during rendering
  
• Added support for rounding pixels to actors, if disabled then pixel coordinates will be rounded to integer values, can improve performance but at a cost of lower precision rendering
  
• Removed some currently unused options from sprite and label
  
• Font size and face separated in labels
  
• Font weight added to label
  
• Editor now shows text preview
  
• Exported collision flags are now used by engine
  
• Added vertices snap to shape editor
  
• Added new Collision Flags example
  
• Fix: Convex shapes were not exporting correctly
  
• Fix: Some properties such as actor scale were not exporting correctly with an export precision of 0
  

Engine Changes:

• Added new property to Actor called round_pixels, when set to true vertices will be rounded to integer which can speed up rendering significantly
  
• Added support for collision flags to physics fixtures (category, mask and group index)
  

The Booty5 HTML5 game manual ebook has also been updated.

A complete overhaul of the Booty5 API reference documentation has taken place, making it more easily readable, structured and informative.

Yet another Booty5 update, support for the Web Audio API has been added offering better control over audio playback. Using it is s simple case of ticking support for it in the projects properties (on by default)

 

Full list of changes include:

Game Editor v1.9.2b:

• Added new use web audio export option to project settings
• Added new auto play property to sounds which cause sound to automatically start playing once loaded
• Added new export option force_round which will force all exported actors to use pixel rounding
• Fix: Project property smoothing is now applied in exported code
• Fix: Canvas centering on some mobile devices

Game Engine v1.4.8 and 1.4.9:

• b5.Xoml.loadJSON now accepts 4th parameter which can be used to stipulate loaded data should be returned as binary buffer
• b5.App.use_web_audio property added which can be used to switch on support for Web Audio if it is supported
• b5.Xoml.loadJSON moved to b5.Utils.loadJSON
• b5.Xoml.loadJS moved to b5.Utils.loadJS
• Added support for web audio API to sound (default is enabled). To disable Web Audio set b5.App.use_web_audio to false. If web audio is not supported then it will fallback to HTML5 Audio
• b5.App constructor now accepts a second parameter which enables / disables web audio support
• Added b5.Sound.auto_play property to enable auto playback of sounds after they are loaded
• JSDoc documentation added
• b5.App.canvas_fill_window removed
• Modified how the render scaling and canvas resizing works to make it easier to use.

Is Booty5 still in development ?
It looks interesting to me, especially the svg-support. I downloaded it, and i am wondering about the "installation-process" on windows OS. I followed where the installation writes folders / files. And sadly it puts many cryptic folders / files onto drive C:: 
users/-current-user-/AppData/ etc ... It seems there is not a usual *.exe file to start the app. Somehow i need to more often to start the setup.exe. Is there any plans to build a better structure of the app / installation ? What would be great, if you could provide more something like a portable version. I think this could be done via "node.js" or similar thing. Otherwise guys like me are afraid to use it ...
