I seem to be hitting brick walls a lot when trying to marry my imagination with the language.
Physics are nice to have but most of the other languages have physics so no real differences there.
How about some of the traditional classic ways of coding games where you can get and set pixels, draw and get things from buffer etc. The kind of things that would help take Gideros out of the "oh we can also do that too type thing" to "yes we can do that but we can also do this" and therefore allow developers to really push what can be done in a game to get interest from reviewers and players.
Doing another physics puzzler doesn't quite grab the attention it might have done in the past.
Not sure if I am making myself clear or not. This is also not a rant but a thought process that has led me to wonder how can I do something different enough to get noticed in the group of 50,000 games out there on the ios store alone.

Short list what I often use developing games in flash:
- masks, in some cases dynamic masks
- filters: blur, glow, shadows or combinations of those
I'm really missing filters in Gideros. @gorkem can you add them to wishlist, please?
3D Transforms
2.5D transforms
Lighting

Do you hate us yet for always want want wanting things?
Like spoiled little kids wanting more and more sweets.
For me, I just want as much freedom as possible to imagine new things with the side effect of making Gideros something that really stands out from the crowd.

Masks, shaders, 2.5/3D transforms and lighting are currently planned in the future, but not entered as a bug. We need to discuss these thoroughly.

Is that feature going to be available soon in Gideros?
I encountered the need to use a heightmap and was wondering if I should be patient or move to another task?
But if you are up to it (understanding that you might have to rewrite the logic later) you can try it out:

But to answer your question, there will be such feature available, once we come up with proper API design and more efficient usability
Inefficient + not practical + will be changed (+ rewrite in the future)
I would be crazy to even get started with it
thanks
