- Working on a personal project... a game creating tool... -

* UPDATE 4.2 (0.01) *
(0.01)

ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS PC'S/LAPTOPS

- Must have notepad installed
- Must have GameMaker 8.0+













 - It's very simple for it's debug graphics... it's set up like this so I don't get too distracted , but do you have any tips on how a good debug layout should be?... -

- Plans for the engine : - Neo-Bit

Just for fun, and to help my friends make games with it xD
yes I am programming it all too >.>. 

- Included Synthesizer
- Code Translator ( just a code importer )
- Uses it's own pixelated font ( duh... )
- Use of Dlls and external files

- The engine will be similar to the gameboy advance's -
- but the resolution is +35 in width... Mhmmm

Any ideas? Dx?

- Thanks!! -

- UPDATE 4.0 : added a concept for how the 3D engine should work in the tool. -

- "BG" Background "bottom right" will just
use a color converter, using dlls...

" // Background Color Settings "Neo-Bit to Game Maker" //

Game-Maker Color Settings List :

Hue:
Sat:
Lum:

Red:
Green:
Blue:

Neo-Bit Color Setting List:

H:
S:
L:

R:    // true/false? // = Check Mark ;
G:    // true/false? // = Check Mark ;
B:    // true/false? // = Check Mark ; "

- Really want this tool to be a tool that will make game creating easier and much more exciting! Still taking advice on what else to add... I already have a lot in mind, just curious on what you think would be needed.  -

- Any Ideas?... I thought of creating / recreating the system for the pixels well making it more customizable and able to break up any image with all it's color formats and color codes, etc... but any others?

- other ideas -

- Scene Maker
- In Tool Animator ( Scene maker is different - uses animations )
- Importer
- Exporter
- Synth ( already going to be implemented )

- Physics/code Stimulators.
- Code translators
- .Txt code exporter
