New Gideros Docs/Wiki...

hgy29

Important note to people updating the wiki: the API ref contains tags like GIDEROSMTD, GIDEROSOBJ, ... as comments. Don't remove them, and add them accordingly if you create new API. Gideros compilation scripts depend on these to collect API data, and they will be useful for any other script with similar purpose

MoKaLux

@all I have finished updating the API Reference with links below each functions/methods for easy navigation.
If you like it and want to help doing the same for all the remaining functions/methods/events... please do not hesitate. The process is very easy but gideros wiki is too big for me alone. So yes I am calling for your help.
In short:
1- you create a template if it does not exist yet

---- {{Special:PrefixIndex/Bitmap}}       {{Gideros deco stars01}}

2- then the fun part: you paste this code below every wiki texts

{{Bitmap}}

3- you preview and save.
ps: Bitmap is an example

It's very easy but it would take me months to do the whole wiki.

Don't forget this I did the mistake and had to undo a couple of changes

is the facebook function still valid today?
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Facebook
Or can I hide it?

Largely deprecated by Facebook, they require us to use their newest APIs and SDK, so that existing facebook plugin is useless now.

Hmmm, I wonder, where all box2d references gone?

@rrraptor Its now called "LiquidFun" https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/LiquidFun

Which is mildly confusing since newbies might be looking for "Box2d" or "Physics"

Ah, sh... I was using "search" for the last couple days I know that LiquidFun is physics engine based on box2d, but I thought that it is alternative physics engine.

antix

@rrraptor heheh, it took me over half an hour to figure it out.. it's totally unclear

Hopefully the documentation will be a little more accessible in the near future

SinisterSoft

I've added ' (Box2D+)' after the word LiquidFun in the index to make it more obvious.

@MoKaLux I think the example should be moved to this page
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Event.APPLICATION_RESIZE

@SinisterSoft

SinisterSoft

I can delete https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/APPLICATION_RESIZE

Are you sure you want me to do this? Let me know and it will be done.

@SinisterSoft you can safely delete https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/APPLICATION_RESIZE
The Event.APPLICATION_RESIZE was missing.
I have also moved @oleg's example to the new page so it is now safe to delete.

SinisterSoft

@MoKaLux Done.

rrraptor

@MoKaLux
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Texture
Is missing Texture.CLAMP and Texture.REPEAT constants.

MoKaLux

@rrraptor cool thank you will fix it asap!

Done.

Question: do you know if this format is correct for gideros studio? (notice no space before -->) or is it ok?

<!-- GIDEROSCST:Texture.CLAMP-->

Seems like a bug to me I tested with numbers and it seems to blur the text. Is it an expected behavior?

@all @rrraptor how would you rephrase this?
filtering: (boolean, default = false) Whether or not the font texture is filtered optional

Something like this?
filtering: (boolean, default = false) Whether or not the font texture is filtered optional (note putting a number instead of a boolean gives a nice text blur effect)

Waiting for your feedback . DONE

I guess it is intended behavior, it like N steps of antialiasing. Cuz basically antialiasing blurs object edges, so if you apply blur to an image multiple times, what will you get?)

Idk, my English is bad

SinisterSoft

I use 3, works great.

rrraptor

I wonder why ALL event names and constants lack an underscore?

Is it a wiki problem or what?

MoKaLux

@rrraptor it is due to mediawiki cf Conversion of spaces to underscores etc. at this page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Page_name#Special_characters
I need to play with it see if I can get the underscores in the screenshot you made.

MoKaLux

@all I was doing this in my code:

elseif e.keyCode == KeyCode.PAGEDOWN then print("pagedown", myscale)

and noticed that wasn't working. Then I put an underscore like so: PAGE_DOWN and that worked. I am on windows 10 here.
Gideros wiki says to use PAGEDOWN (https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/KeyCode.PAGEDOWN)

My question: is it working the same for windows mac and linux?
I wanted to change the wiki but preferred asking before. If some of you guys can test on linux/mac I can then change the wiki.
Thank you.

It definitely must be changed with help of a script, cuz it will take years to edit all that by hands..or?

MoKaLux

Any linux mac/gideros users can confirm that this is PAGE_DOWN and not PAGEDOWN? DONE
from github:

lua_setfield(L, -2, "PAGE_UP"); lua_pushinteger(L, GINPUT_KEY_PAGEDOWN); lua_setfield(L, -2, "PAGE_DOWN"); lua_pushinteger(L, GINPUT_KEY_ENTER); lua_setfield(L, -2, "ENTER");

rrraptor

I generated all methods and constants. But I have a question. The plugin page called "FastNoise", however actual gideros class name is "Noise". Will it cause any problems?



P.S. Forgot to remove 1D noises

No it's not a problem at all. We can change the name of the page.

To create the page you just need to click on its link (in red) and then click create this page.

PS: maybe the confusion came from the name in the plugins of gideros studio.
