Hi flaith,
Thank you for your post.
Setting a difficulty-balance for each level was one of the more time consuming aspects to creating the game, especially with such a basic concept; same with
Invading Space Aliens.
NB*: A couple hours after your post, I squashed a couple more bugs.

Hi
JHPJHP,
This latest version does not work on my Mac.
It opens with a black screen and promptly crashes.
This is probably for the reasons mentioned by
Kukulkan in the post below:

Hi davido,
Thank you for letting me know about the error in
OSX.
I knew not to use a Window/Gadget in a thread, but thought that
OpenWindowedScreen may have been an exception. It seemed to work fine in Windows; probably just a fluke.
I believe I have rolled everything back, but I am still unsure about
OSX. When I try to run the example, I get an error at
OpenWindowedScreen with
InitEngine3D. If I remove
InitEngine3D the example works fine, but I lose the introduction.
If you get a chance, please let me know your results from
OSX using the current version. Thank you.
NB*: Invading Space Aliens has also been rolled back.

Hi JHPJHP,
This version opens on page which is frozen.
Sometimes displaying: Game Over or Paused or page just showing stars background.
Sound track is running.
Pressing Return key has no effect.

Hi davido,
Can you please try the following...
- fails for me in OSX:
https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... ecube.html
-
PureBasic 5.61 (x64) :: macOS Sierra version 10.12.6
Fails for me in OSX:
-
OpenWindowedScreen: [ERROR] Program aborted. (by external library)
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 800, 600, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
InitEngine3D() : InitSprite()
If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 800, 600)
EndIf
EndIf
Works in OSX (removed InitEngine3D):
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 800, 600, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
InitSprite()
If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 800, 600)
EndIf
EndIf

HI
JHPJHP,
My Mac system: wrote:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro12,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
System Version: OS X 10.10.5 (14F2511)
Kernel Version: Darwin 14.5.0
PureBasic 5.61 x64
This works on my system and is no different to that on Windows 10 x64
I also ran the two code snippets; both gave the same results:
Flash of screen opening and closing - no errors.

Hi davido,
Thank you again for testing the provided code.
I tried uninstalling PureBasic and XCode, then reinstalling both, but I could not get 3D to work in OSX.
Because I am unable to test the Introduction code, I disabled it for the OSX platform.
NB*: The game was updated and should run fine now, but it was a little annoying having to disable the scrolling Star Wars effect for OSX.

Hi walbus,
Thank you for posting your findings.
I found another area of code that needed disabling in OSX, but it would not have effected game play, only causing an error when exiting the application.
I hope that this fixes the problem.

Yep, many things are strange
A test on 10.13 after upgrading OS fails also
But, i like your Old School Games...

HI JHPJHP,
I downloaded the Zip before you replied to walbus.
When I got round to testing it on my Mac, it worked ok. I did notice that it did not exit cleanly.

Hi guys,
Thank you both for your responses.
Without a working OSX platform, I am just spinning my wheels; I am moving onto the next thing.
Cheers!

A wise move.
