It's a shame that MS won't at least bundle the latest DX 9 dlls with 7.. I don't see why not.

Yes, don't forget to split canvases up, especially if your layout is wider than it is tall.. don't forget also that many graphics cards don't like huge textures.

This is very impressive, congrats .

I could name many, but it's beside the point, I guess. It's not crucial to 99% of games people are going to develop, and using utilitarian principles to create a program when you're doing it for free and for everyone means prioritising.

It's a very difficult and specialised feature and not likely to be considered before 2.0.

Yes.

Large canvases aren't too bad on the VRAM (4mb or so for 1024x1024), it depends how you plan to use it.

It's been established in this thread physics is broken in this release; it'll be fixed in the next.

Genius .

The task of writing a manual I don't think is one for the devs. We've documented the internals and particulars on the wiki, but as things change frequently it's a time consuming exercise and one best left to an independent person who wishes to help.

The music folder doesn't accept the formats the MOD plugin takes though.

They aren't music files, but rather tracker files. Any file in the music folder can be played by XAudio2.

Using the two functions I mentioned above allows you to get/set variables from other objects.

The 'shadow' at the bottom can be dragged; the side tab is the obvious way to drag, though .
