Ya, it does seem ok that file. Hmm, I have no idea what to offer as help. It deffo maybe some other settings on your system conflicting but don’t take my word for that.
Hi Peterigz,
This is what the visual studio settings for my env_windows looks like.
12345MX2_MSVC_DIR=${ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\VCMX2_MSVC_TOOLS_DIR=${MX2_MSVC_DIR}\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023MX2_WINDOWS_KITS_DIR=${ProgramFiles(x86)}\Windows Kits\10The second line is important.
Also, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin and note down the latest version which starts with 10.0. My latest is 10.0.17763.0. When you have noted it down replace the existing one in your env_windows file. It looks like this below:
MX2_WINDOWS_KIT=10.0.17763.0
As a diehard BlitzFan I’m cool with everything. Probably because I can’t code that well but hey if mark sold a pizza named blitz I’d buy it.
I’m going to inject my own personal thoughts into this thread and it’s all meant to help you understand what I’m looking for in a blitz language so here goes.
BlitzMax/Blitz3D were dream languages to use. I’d like something similar for web/android/desktop but with helper functions ala GameMaker Studio 2.
What do I mean by helper functions? Well, everything and anything that aids in coding games easily, for both beginners and experts: pixel perfect collision functions, delta_timer built in, screen management ala Diddy2, Object pooling, image blend modes, easy animation functions, particle system; anything that will take the headache away from making games and allows people to get right down to business, releasing games.
The complexity of the language doesn’t necessarily matter if there are helper functions that remove that complexity.
I want to make games. I’m not a good coder. I need help to do this. I began with blitz decades ago and it taught me a lot, especially the forums; how to behave myself etc and evolve into a more reasonable, logical person. Believe it or not, I only have one Monkey2 account and not 35 like I did in the ways of old.
Anyway, if I could make a wish and have it come true it would be a wish to have something like BlitzMax/Blitz3d for desktop/android/web with a plethora of game making functions; helper functions, that would allow me to just release games and enjoy it at the same time.
What would I pay for such a solution if mark released something like this? I’d pay $500 for a desktop license and as Android and web platforms are constantly evolving, a subscription fee via monthly or yearly options, $300 each, per year.
That’s all….

Amon
Fixed. Added Layout = “letterbox”.
Class JumpyMan Extends ScreenManager
Method New( ttitle:String,width:Int,height:Int,flags:WindowFlags=WindowFlags.Center )
Super.New( ttitle,width,height,flags )
Layout = “letterbox” <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
deltaTimer=New DeltaTimerThat worked. Thanks.
x holds the player position as a float and sp is the speed of the player’s movement as a float.
Cool.
This is cool.
Cool.
I come here to see the progression of Monkey2,and see no progression what so ever.
Go away then and don’t come back.
By the way Amon where is your Theme prefs program.Is that another failed idea
Yes it is.
Only Patreons get updated Monkey2.
I thought Monkey2 was free software,but you want me to pay Patreon,how on earth is that free software.
If i want the latest Monkey2
Patreons get prebuilt binaries of monkeyx2. You can freely download the latest version from github though and build it yourself.
I don’t get this guy. He has voiced and made his personal feelings, regarding MX2 and Mr. Sibly, very clear, many times before yet still hangs around here continually being negative. Quite why he just doesn’t call it a day, migrate away from the site, move on to another forum and software where he will be happy is beyond me.
@markb. MoneyX2 is obviously not right for you and neither is this quiet forum. Call it a day and find somewhere else that satisfies your needs or stay here and troll away. Personally, finding somewhere else might help you and your stress levels.
Ok, I just did a quick test with a Galaxy S8, Doogee Mix, and two HTC phones. I’m using the latest release for Patreon supporters. All apk’s install and run correctly. I’m using the latest android studio, ndk r17b x64x86, and all sdk updated.
I get the same but I was still able to rebuild the emscriptem target and build my game for it. Just try and rebuild modules for emscriptem.
Argggh! Thanks, James. That was the problem. the added “/” was sending it to crashville.
Fixed now and working fine.
