Pipmak 0.2.7 released
Pipmak 0.2.7 has landed, with an assortment of new features: Display of text on patches in arbitrary TrueType fonts, rotation and arbitrary 3D placement of patches, a new Lua command line panel and table inspector to make testing and debugging easier, less awkward handling of fullscreen resolutions, and more.
Download Pipmak for Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux as well as the updated demo project from the download page or read the detailed release notes here.
I do hope to return to a more frequent release schedule in the future!
Pipmak Wiki added
The Pipmak web site now includes a wiki! This is intended as a community-maintained repository of notes, hints, how-tos, answers to frequently asked questions, tutorials, Lua code snippets, and other articles related to Pipmak. It's still somewhat empty at the moment, but I hope it will grow into a useful resource over time. So, if you've got anything to share, any contributions are welcome!
Pipmak 0.2.6 released
Pipmak 0.2.6 is out! This release includes a variety of bug fixes and minor new features. Most important among them a 'New Project' button in the main menu that creates a skeleton project to build on - a feature that I hope will make Pipmak more accessible to newcomers, even though it does not actually do much. There are also some improvements in the way mouse modes (direct/joystick) are handled.

| 2008-05-12 | The workaround from r180 is needed for all GTK dialogs, not just "Save Game". Otherwise, on some Linux distributions, when the mouse is outside of the Pipmak window when the dialog is closed, we seem to end up in some weird half-grabbed state where SDL thinks we're grabbed, but we don't get unclamped mouse deltas, which means that we can't ungrab at the window edge, and in direct mode, we can only pan in a restricted range. |
