Alpha chanel... :(

[newart]

How I have understood Pure Basic 2D engine at all does not support to the schedule with Alpha Chanel?

It is very bad, so-as now practically in each game apply Alpha chanel.
Without it many things (explosions, clouds, effects are very badly looked, etc.)

Probably there are means how to fill this lack? (user library?)

Horrible ? Did you ever used it ? About the Alphachannel, it's not yet supported, but we will add it (at least for PNG).

BTW: you can use Sprite3D commands to apply fast transparency effects

idem Same goes to 3dgs.. those are "engines" for kiddies (no offense, its my opinion).

Sorry, was a little tired this morning when I wrote that.

Anywho freedimension, here is one of my one of my beta games I wrote a while ago:

The demo sucks, was never able to get it to work right.

I left Game Maker for PB

I dont want to be driving you away from PureBasic, but the 2D engine is horrible. .

I do not agree with you. PureBasic 2d enigne very fast and reliable. While many (majority) of games (small, shareware) work in 30-50fps, in them twitch спрайты (not synchronously move), in Pure Basic all ok. In my game engine stably gives out 100fps (at 100hz refrashe rate). A unique minus this absence Alpha Chanel sprites. And 3d sprite unfortunately not so fast (more likely slow).

Something like this for alpha-channel?
VB-Example Codes, easy to translate to Purebasic.
