TNT Particles Engine for Gideros Mobile SDK PREVIEW 2 - Coming Soon -

GregBUG · February 2012

@techdojo thanks to test! and positive feedback!!!

mmm i think that acctually is not possibe to make a live wallpaper... with Gideros...

GregBUG · February 2012

new test demo 1 (simple clouds effect tot. 10 particles 5 for side)

if you can test...

(only android for now)

59 fps on my ipod 2^gen (this demo show fps)
new tests coming soon...

Scouser · February 2012

I just installed this on a ZTE Blade / San Francisco (600mhz, ARMv6, Android 2.2) and it reports 43-47 fps.

Gianluca, if you're testing on iPod it means you can produce an .ipa file, can't you?
In that case, you can still post it, as developers we can re-sign it with our certificates and run the tests on our devices, AFAIK

GregBUG · February 2012

@pmanna
no, sorry i can't... (for now)
because i only installed the gideros player in my ipod and ipad to test my "experiments" (with a dev account of a frend of mine).

but i think that is time to re-new my apple dev subscription now...
also because i need to test the "C" version of tnt engine in ios device.

MikeHart · February 2012

I would be really grateful.
thanks mike!

Sorry, it took me a little longer than I had said before. I have uploaded the code in the plugin section.

ndoss · February 2012

Latest demo runs at 52 fps on my kindle.

GregBUG · February 2012

@MikeHart many many thanks!!! very appreciated!!!

@ndoss thanks!!! for testing

chipster123 · February 2012

The demo for the Feb 24 link above runs at between 57and 59 fps on Galaxy Nexus

GregBUG · February 2012

@chipster123 thanks! for test!

new 2 demos
demo 2 - Snow on my home!
demo 3 - fire with sparkles

now writing last demo then release beta 1 to tester.

ciao.

hnim · February 2012

that's amazing!
i like snow and fog effect very much.
-demo 2: 22fps on Milestone and 26fpt on SS galaxy 10.1
-demo 3: 32fps on Milestone and 60fpt on SS galaxy 10.1

GregBUG · February 2012

demo 4 explosion (and last one)
touch the screen to explode !!!!

@hnim thanks.
what specs have Milestone ?

ps: it's possible that galaxy 10.1 is slower than my ipod 2^ gen ?? :-?

GregBUG · February 2012

beta1 sent to beta tester...!!
if you not received please contact me!

hnim · February 2012

nice explosion: 38fps on Milestone and 50fps on SS galaxy 10.1
Milestone is a version of Moto Droid 1, it's really old.

atilim · February 2012

btw, some (or most) tablets (e.g. kindle fire) has default frame rate of ~53 not 60.

@GregBUG: I had a play with your particle system and I think I found & fixed a slight problem.

I found that there was no way to set an initial gravity force for the particles which meant that creating a fountain was impossible so I added a function to set this up

function CParticles:setGravityForce(gravityX, gravityY)
	self.particles.gravityForceX = gravityX -- gravity x force
	self.particles.gravityForceY = gravityY -- gravity y force
        for j = 1, self.particles.particlesMax do
		self.particles.particlesList[j].gravityForceX = gravityX -- gravity x force
		self.particles.particlesList[j].gravityForceY = gravityY -- gravity y force
	end
end

Then I noticed that the individual particles didn't have their own gravity force defined when you generate the initial cache so inserted these lines

	gravityForceX = 0, -- gravity x force
	gravityForceY = 0, -- gravity y force

directly after the line

        currentSpeed = 0,

And finally I changed the following 2 lines after -- particle is dead so if needed rebirth!!!

         particlePoint.gravityForceX = 0
         particlePoint.gravityForceY = 0

to

         particlePoint.gravityForceX = particles.gravityForceX
         particlePoint.gravityForceY = particles.gravityForceY

Now I can give the particles an initial negative y gravity force so that the particles begin moving up before they fall back down to earth.

@Scouser

thanks for your fix and integration.
i'll add to next release of tnt engine. ;;)

ps: this is the reason i enjoy the open-source!

thanks again
Gianluca.

UPDATE:

just released v1.11
with bugfix (thanks to paolo manna)
and new function set gravityforce (thanks to Scouser).

Zoyt · April 2012

Yay! Thanks!

GregBUG · April 2012

hi! @Zoyt

thanks to you!!

but i want to ask you one things (just curiosity): :P

in your avatar was written: "Gideos Studios" it's your studios name or just "forgot" an "r" ?

Zoyt · April 2012

Doh... Crap... Thanks for reporting it... I'll fix it when I get a chance...

GregBUG · April 2012

>:D<

atilim · April 2012

yay for v1.11
