Gideros 2018.12: She's a big one!
PaulR
Member, Maintainer
Gideros 2018.12 is here!
There are lots of exciting features, improvements and fixes in this release which should hopefully tick at least one box for just about everybody. Please browse the changelog below for full details!
Some Highlights:
- Integrated profiler: Our native profiler is now integrated with Gideros Studio
- LuaMIDI plugin: Gideros can communicate with MIDI devices!
- Auto add files with Assets folder: Gideros Studio now auto adds any files in Assets project subdirectory
- WASM: Initial support for WASM export (smaller, hopefully faster exports).
- Native Map Plugin: Native maps, courtesy of @paulh!

Could you please take some note on how to read profiler data and see what is the problem within code? A real small project demo the trouble and how to resolve it after reading profiler log would be great!

If you need access, just let me know.
(the same goes for people contributing to the Wiki - even if it's just making tutorials from old forum posts)

(I already have access to wiki&blog editing)
P. S. I guess if say 3-4 forum members made it a point to check at least once a week what they can do for Gideros, (maybe translate something, improve docs, share knowledge, code snippets, etc.) it could be great.
Btw, @antix you've started writing a book on Gideros, did you decide to pause it?
If you decided to stop for some reasons, maybe you could share some of its chapters as blog posts?

Maybe marketing blog with more universal information (not engine specific) could be more useful. Potential audience would be wider.
I mean blogs like:
https://www.deconstructoroffun.com/
https://playliner.com/en/
Definitely I could contribute there (personally I don't have large experience, but there're lots of such info in local russian gamedev communities, from top tier companies like Playrix, My.com, etc, I could translate articles to english)
But I guess basic Gideros docs & tuts must be done first.

Thank so much @hgy29!
I try to profiler this code (Just copy functions from http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/52768
local function myFunction1(a)
local function c(a) return math.cos(a*math.pi/180) end
return c(a)+c(a+1)
end
local function profile(myFunction)
print("Start profiler")
Core.profilerStart()
Core.profilerReset()
for i=1,1000000 do myFunction(i) end
Core.profilerStop()
print("End profiler")
end
profile(myFunction1)
By pressing icon Profile code from the studio and waiting for code run complete and press button again. An HTML result shows off but the count is always zero?
EDIT: Turns out that the html formatter was limiting count values to six digits... fixed now.

What is this for? When I using it, I see the file size after zipping is reduce, is this main purpose?

(WASM is newer, smaller and faster)
Compress plugins is use compression on plugins or not.

Latest Applovin 9.1.0 SDK does not compile correctly, so have to use previous 8.1.4 SDK
Latest Chartboost compiles but does not work so have to use previous 7.2 SDK
Other than that all good on the ads front. Nice release.
Just so you know.

@SinisterSoft would you be so kind to add a basic tutorial on it someday?

To use WASM just tick the box 'Use Web Assembly (WASM) - Experimental' when exporting to HTML5.
I'm not sure if it deletes the non-wasm files - so export to a clean folder.

AppLovin 9.1 now works (needs the latest ads.gplugin file).
Unity 3.0.0 all good also.
Chartboost is stuck at 7.2.0 as no ads display in latest 7.3.1 version.
All tested today and good.
