Phoenix Game Engine (Lua) 0.02 Released

Submitted by greg; August 28, 2008


Further improving their Phoenix Game Engine, ultimately resulting with improved code of your own, are MK2k and InsertWittyName with version 0.02. I said it before, and I'll say it again... This is a Lua wrapper of the Phoenix Game Engine (PGE) allowing you to write clean and functional code with little or less frustration on your part. The PGE Lua API is nicely documented and you may refer to that right here. Video demo, 0.02 changelog and download, all available after this break... Phoenix Game Engine Lua 0.02 changelog:

• Added pge.exit() to explicitly exit at any time.
• Fixed pge.texture.draw() to only allow the correct number of parameters to be passed (reported by #Gianni#).
• Added pge.texture.swizzle() to swizzle a texture.
• Added pge.texture.unswizzle() to unswizzle a texture.
• Added an optional parameter to pge.texture.load() and pge.texture.loadmemory() to specify whether to swizzle the texture on load.
• Added pge.texture.pixel() to get or set the color value of a pixel within a texture.
• Added an error check to pge.file.read(), returns nil if nothing could be read.
• Added an error check to pge.file.readnum(), returns nil if the number could not be read.
• Added a return value to pge.file.write(), returns the number of bytes written.
• Fixed pge.mp3.loadmemory() which incorrectly checked for two parameters to be passed when it only requires one (reported by TheUnderminer).
• Added pge.math.deg() to convert radians to degrees.
• Added pge.math.rad() to convert degrees to radians.
• Moved the socket functions to pge.net.socket.function() to give a layer of separation.
• Moved the socketset functions to pge.net.socketset.function() to give a layer of separation.
• Added an optional parameter to pge.net.socket.receive(), to specify how many bytes to receive.
• Fixed pge.texture.save() to unswizzle the texture before saving, then re-swizzle if needed.
