Panda.js 1.10.0 released

[enpu]

Release notes:

https://github.com/ekelokorpi/panda.js/releases/tag/1.10.0

 

Video support

 

Panda now supports HTML5 video rendering on Canvas/WebGL, example:

Notes:

- On mobile, video needs touch event to start.

- CocoonJS Canvas+ not working, does not support createElement('video').

- iPhone not working, forces fullscreen video player.

 

Memory management

 

You can now remove assets from memory:

game.removeAsset('sprite.png'); // Remove sprite from memorygame.removeAsset('sprites.json'); // Remove sprite sheet from memorygame.removeAssets(); // Remove all assets from memorygame.system.setScene('Game', true); // Change scene and clear memory

good job enpu! I don't remember if it works, but with the iPad there's an option to force the inline video playback, maybe it works also for the iPhone.

Awesome work! Thank enpu

[Stephan]

Great work! I'm very happy with the new memory cleanup features.

Congrats on the new release. I just have one problem: The demos are spartan compared to 1.0.0 . The particles demo is now heavily stripped down. Is it just me, or could you look into it? Thanks!

[enpu]

Yeah sorry particles demo was stripped down to make it more simple and easy to understand.

For more particle examples, view Particle section on cheatsheet:

I've seen that earlier. Thanks.

[Phempt]

is there some documentation about the memory cleanup?

[enpu]

What kind of documentation are you looking for?

[Phempt]

I remember that you want to add a "true" parameter to game.setScene function.. but I don't know if you have chosen this method or an other one..

[enpu]

That's in the example on first post:

game.system.setScene('Game', true); // Change scene and clear memory

Set second parameter to true to clear memory.

[Phempt]

That's my fault, I don't see it in the first post, sorry :|

I tried to configure my panda environment with:

pandaConfig={name:"test game",version:"1.0.0",system:{     width:480,     height:320,     maxWidth:480,     maxHeight:320,     resizeToFill:true,     retina:false},debug:{     enabled:true,     color:"red"},storage:{     id:"com.1upcrew.testgame"}};

with this configuration, the canvas is not resized, but removing the debug information it works:

pandaConfig={name:"test game",version:"1.0.0",system:{     width:480,     height:320,     maxWidth:480,     maxHeight:320,     resizeToFill:true,     retina:false},storage:{     id:"com.1upcrew.testgame"}};

[enpu]

Are you sure, debug should have nothing to do with resizeToFill

 

Do you got any errors in console? Are running from browser or with wrapper?

[Phempt]

it's running on a browser without error. Mmmm I tried to reload the window without debugdraw and now it works. I'll make some tests tomorrow and I'll contact you for any news.

[enpu]

Ok thanks!

[Phempt]

I tried to reproduce the error but nothing, I'm thinking that it will be an error generated by cache or something similar.

I'm playing with PandaJS for some time now and I must admit it's great. Nice job enpu!

[enpu]

Thank you! Great to hear to you find it useful

[aliteff]

brilliant job, over the last 6 weeks I have made the same game with 6 different engines and Panda.js has been the best of all especially performance wise. I don't know if any of you tried this on SmartTVs and STBs but it performed very well. 

 

My colleagues couldn't believe how animations ...etc have outperformed other engines by miles.

 

Very well done
