what sort of collision issues are you having? Might be able to help 🙂

Played the first windows version. Everything seemed to work nicely as far as I could tell.

Also played TheRevills Jack Deadly and that was cool too.

I’m currently coding up a old-school platformer of my own (well trying too) I struggle with collision stuff and it just never feels right to me. Would love to one day produce something as good as either of theese efforts though.

Well done both!

YAY. Viva Mortis come second in the SyntaxBomb competition.

Jack Deadly (by TheRevills) comes a close third.

You can add external module directories by setting the environment variable MX2_MODULE_DIRS.

In Unix shells:

export MX2_MODULE_DIRS="/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/"

1	export MX2_MODULE_DIRS="/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/"

You can add more than one directory. Separate the directories with a semicolon “;”:

export MX2_MODULE_DIRS="/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/;/users/name/monkey2/myothermodules/"

1	export MX2_MODULE_DIRS="/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/;/users/name/monkey2/myothermodules/"

I think on Windows OS it was the command SET:

SET MX2_MODULE_DIRS=d:\monkey2\mymodules

1	SET MX2_MODULE_DIRS=d:\monkey2\mymodules

Alternatively you can add the line to your env_linux.txt / env_macos.txt / env_windows.txt in bin/

MX2_MODULE_DIRS=/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/

1	MX2_MODULE_DIRS=/users/name/monkey2/mymodules/

Yup, count me in as one of those!

My personal view is: some people do not like chat or live communication – or any direct communication. Forums provide and nice way to think and store things – provide feedback and code.

There is also https://rocket.chat for team/community communication.

It is open source: https://github.com/RocketChat and available for Windows/Linux/Mac/Android/iOS/Web

Hello! I haven’t been active on the forums in a while, and I’m not a big fan of LOLZ-MEME-GAMER-DISCORD heh.
But I honestly wouldn’t be against Monkey 2 just being GitHub based.

There’s GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) that sort of creates a basic homepage for any GitHub project.
GitHub also has a Wiki for documentation and an issues section for… issues… and many other features.
And there’s also Gitter (https://gitter.im/) that sort of works like Discord – but is actually made for developers (and not gamers) – and can automatically integrate itself with the Git repo.
All without Mark having to do any extra work!

The only thing I’d really miss, I think, is the code archive.
But I honestly feel like a code archive should be a Ted2Go Git repo browser, instead of homepage based.
Same with the module browser!

Overall; I don’t think being GitHub based would be a bad idea.
Because all the features we currently have and enjoy could still exist and be automated by GitHub.
