Hi all,
I’ve been a long time BlitzMax user, even switched to Monkey-X for a while.
I was toying with the idea of focusing on Mac and iOS only, so started to look seriously at moving my game development to Swift. On the whole, not a bad experience, although I think some of the idiosyncratic methods left me a little cold. Seems like far too much work to create even the simplest of games.
So I thought I would take the plunge with either AGK or Monkey 2.
Needless to say, I am going to forge ahead with mx2 (otherwise I wouldn’t be here)
But I also wanted to share my shock at AGK. Non-object orientated… still using GOSUB. The language seems like it has just crawled out of the 80’s!! Admittedly the physics is cool, but I know that if there isn’t a module for mx2 (I haven’t checked), it will be simple enough to create a simple physics engine.
So, hello everyone, and thank you Mark for keeping Monkey/Blitz heritage alive. I look forward to having the fun back in games development.
Oh, and that idea of sticking to Apple platforms… binned it. If I’m using a product from Mark Sibly, I may as well target all the platforms
Welcome!
about the physics engine, chipmunk is included in mx2. And there is a tutorial for it! :https://github.com/peterigz/Monkey2Tutorials
I started to work on Box2D and should continue (and finish it) this end of December.

@abakobo I noticed that, about chipmunk, after I posted the message. I hope the work you’re doing with Box2D goes well.
@Mark Sibly, Thank you for the welcome. Good to see you around here.
Hey, Pengwin… Welcome to MX2. You will learn to love it.
Something serious though that you need to know.
My Krow, would totally kick your pengwin’s backside. Straight talk here. Boom.
Ta!
