Heroes Quest - 2008 PlayBasic Game Making Competition ON NOW!
PlayBASIC is a powerful game making tool, based upon the Easy-To-Use Basic programming language. PlayBasic was developed by game enthusiasts for game enthusiasts and incorporates more than 20 years experience in the field. Our aim is to produce a language that would give users great flexibility, with a solid feature set for rapid game development. We want everybody to experience the fun of game making again.
Since PlayBASIC is all about making games, it provides you with a wealth of graphical features at your finger tips. Ranging from Mapping (Creating worlds), Sprites, Image effects, Cameras, Vector Shapes, Texture Mapping through to a full set of traditional 2D vector art (Dots/lines/boxes through to polygons).
Sprite capabilities are one the most critical parts of a game programming language. PlayBasics sprite engine not only supports Rotation / Scaling / Flipping and Sprite Depth, but it also includes various real time image manipulation effects such as Alpha Blending (Variable, Additive, Subtractive), logical masking through to Raster Bar and real time Colour Replacement just to name a few.
But, what would good is a game making language be without a good collision system ? Virtually useless ! So we've built in support for up to seven different collision methods. Including Pixel Perfect Collision, Rect, Rotated Rect, Circular , Polygonal, Sliding and Sticky modes. Collision modes can be rotated / scaled and even mixed. Allowing you to can mix vector collision modes with pixel perfect collision and vice versa. Making PlayBasic's collision system arguable the most advanced available !
The PlayBASIC package comes with a comprehensive program code editor, built in Debugger, Helper Tools and over 400 hundred examples to get you started. Moreover, we are always open to your feedback! - We want PlayBASIC to be as powerful, flexible and of course as much FUN as possible.
