any chance i could see an example ?
What you need is some one to re-do the smalltime outlaw style youtube video series that he did on Monkey 1 which starts episode 1 with how to open the IDE and takes you n videos upto making a small game as I recall.
Something like that for monkey 2 would be a massive help I think and could also be linked to or embeded into the help.
Its a shame its not on steam when steam’s got other platforms like it, looking at construct 2, or 8bit basic as examples.
Was there a hurdle you couldn’t get over in terms of getting monkey on steam ?
The monkey community is soo terribly tiny now that selling anything to it would be an exercise in futility, the good thing about possibly selling my art assets is that the’re universal and could just as easily be sold to unity or unreal users, as well as monkey devs of course.
that wouldn’t make the value zero but rather make it hard to sell, I think your probably right tho not exactly a large market for monkey code so id probably have a better chance selling the art assets separately .
just on the off chance did anyone do a monkey -> monkey2 converter ?
being able to match mollusc or jungle would be really nice yeah, as iv said before code that’s got poor highlight options can be hard for me to read, i often as a result overlook stupid mistakes which are easily avoided with a diff colour.
we got more syntax highlighting options yet?
Kinda like it myself, only thing I think I would change so far is the font colour is a little too light on a very light background, possibly make it solid black so its easier to read.
Im sure there is a bot for discord that act’s as a relay and links both chats. discord groups do this a lot actually normally linking in game chats from servers with their out of game people on discord.
not working with monkey2 yet is there any blur options ? draw two of them scale one up a bit and blur it alpha it.
almost at a point where I should be able to port my mx project over to this, hope you keep working on it dude.

oh one final thing, and to echo what dmaz just said, MARK one of your biggest mistakes was pulling away from your own community, you used to talk to us, not sure what made you recoil from the forums but your presence was deff missed. and still is I would argue.
Honestly I have not written a thing with Monkey 2 yet, something about it just feels off, I hate the fact you split the community again that seriously pissed me off, there are so many things I wish you did differently but with all that being said I HOPE! you do not give in because what you did was pull me out of the misery I was in with C, Delphi and VB and gave me a language that just made sense and let me build cool games and for that I will always be thankful.
If you choose to keep going, PLEASE for the love of all that is the Universe and everything in it, ACCEPT FKN HELP, lets face it you couldn’t do a website if it was paint by numbers, let some one else help you with it I would be willing to bet there are still a ton of people who would volunteer their help with it.
Try building a team of volunteers have a guy that deals with the docs, a guy that manages the site and builds web stuff like a better theme, more site options like submitting code, submitting examples to the docs, a show case etc, have a code guy to help with that, have a gui or ide guy(looks at junlge), build a team mark, you might be surprised how many will offer their help seeking nothing in return, people will come and go you had an amazing community and some of it still exists so let it help you.
let the community help stop trying to be rambo.
I just cant get into mx2 i honestly dont know why, every time I open the editor and try and think of something to try my first line is always import diddy and then I think oh shit……. and close the app hahahahahah
