Hi everyone :-)

katieajn

I'm Katie, a female developer from Cambridge in the UK. I have quite a bit of experience developing business apps on IOS but these have all been native and Gideros looks like an exciting powerful new platform. I thought I would start by building a few simple games as LUA is new to me. Can I ask what tools would be best to use for level editing, sprite editing and physics? Seems to be quite a few options. I have found the ZeroBane editor to be amazing so far so at least I have the editor sorted!

Kind Regards

Katie

Hi and welcome to Gideros Studio forums, Katie.

Have a look at this link: http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/3rd_Party_Applications

It contains most of the tools that are compatible with or written for Gideros Studio.

Have fun

Hi Katie,
Nice to see more females active on the forum, there are a few other girls active on the forum, so your not alone.

Feel free to ask any Lua / game related questions, there are plenty of experienced developers here.

As for level editing - Tiled (mapeditor.org) is one of the easiest to use (and exports lua files that are parsed quite easily). The latest version also includes support for polygon based entities.

LevelHelper and SpriteHelper are also good tools (Mac only I think)

Hello Katie,

Welcome to the forum. I believe we have more people from UK than Turkey:)

Sounds about right

What, you guys never seen Family Guy? It's on every night on BBC3...

Scouser

Unfortunately, it's American "humor" which just isn't the same as British "humour"
To me it just isn't funny. I don't get American Dad, or South Park, it's just toilet "humor" and it just doesn't appeal, much the same way I can't stand Catherine Tate and the whole "Am I bovvered" culture. It doesn't do anything for me.

@scouser, are you a being served kind of guy, faulty towers or the some mothers do ave em. It is funny that Simpsons was spoofed as the Family Guy and then that was in turn spoofed as American Dad. The one thing that I still couldn't stand is South Park, it is not humour, whatsoever...

Scouser

@OZApps: I did get the Simpsons from day 1. I think I could relate to Bart as a child, I would often see situations I had found myself in during my childhood. I was more a Good Life, 'Allo 'Allo and Yes Minister type of person. I did enjoy Fawlty Towers. Maybe my sense of humour was just a little more refined

Well including Yourself,deniz and TechDojo thats 3 Girls in the Team

@Scouser, 'Allo 'Allo had perhaps been one of my favourites too, Good Mourning and Michelle with Listen carefully, I will only say this once. Many instances that are classic. The British humour that I absolutely did not understand or could stand was "Benny Hill" (which I think spawned the carry on series) and the Young ones.

Scouser

Benny Hill was more slapstick than actual comedy whereas The Young Ones was the new wave in alternative comedy (I think alternative comedy as in it wasn't funny ) ) but it launched the carreers of many an alternative comedian/comedienne.
