  • When is the closed test planned?

    Probably the next month, I'm aiming to finish the MVP during september, and launch the invitation for testing on october.

  • There is a function to request.

    1. Leaderboard

    2. Inventory (this is...if an idea comes to you!)

    Thanks for the suggestion, although both are a bit away from this project. Leaderboards are more of a backend thing, you can use firebase for that. However, with SmartUI and the latest GridLayout, you have the posibility to build better looking leaderboards, and faster.

    The inventory is a whole different thing, it really depends on the game-style.

    Anyway, this is just the first set of UI components. I'm planning on making some more that add value to our UI design workflows. The truth is that, with the listed components, and the way they are built to interact with each other, you can create bigger and more complex custom components just by combining them. Containers are one of the strogest features of the framework. It won't take you too much time to figure it out. :)

  • How can I join the testing?

    I'm planning the details, I'll post a communicate with the procedure to participate. I'm working on having all the promised addons finished. What I can advance to you is the following:

    1. Closed Alpha testing will be provided to a reduced number of participants, to be able to listen carefully to their feedback.
    2. The framework will be fully functional and provided free of charge for the testing.
    3. The addons will have an expiration date, you will be able to use them only during the testing period.
    4. The framework's source code won't be available, but I can disclose the details if anyone has questions about its design.
    5. ACEs documentation is being released at my site as I finish each addon, you can take a look at what's being published by now.

    When are addons planned to be published?

    I already have 9 addons running and in testing:

    1. SmartUI Plugin (framework and navigation capabilities)
    2. Buttons Behavior
    3. Checkboxes Behavior
    4. Radio Buttons Behavior
    5. Dialogs Behavior
    6. Progress bars Behavior
    7. Scroll Bars Behavior
    8. Containers Behavior(new addon)
    9. Scrollview Behavior

    The ones in process are:

    1. Gridview Behavior

    I also made an initial article with the details and design principles for SmartUI.

  • This year for sure, I'm planning a closed alpha testing cycle. I'm just finishing the details to launch the invitation and share the date.

  • pro ui works with the new SDK version

    Unfortunatelly, it will work as long as the SDK V1 is supported, which will be retired the next year according to Scirra. So, that's just temporary unless someone migrates it, which tbh is a lot of work according to the way ProUI was developed.

  • I'm working in the scrollview just right now, and I was wondering if anyone has any specific concern or feedback about what you expect from a scrollview.

    By now I've already covered the following for it:

    Minimum expected:

    • Scroll content clamped to scrollview size
    • Children interactions are limited to scrollview quad
    • Vertical, Horizontal and Both movements are supported as well as Mouse-wheel scrolling for the first 2.
    • Swipe gesture with inertia supported
    • Actions: Scroll-to-position (relative and absolute), and Scroll-to-object (child object) are available

    New

    • Scrollview behaves like a container, inheriting all its characteristics (focus, navigation, cascade enabling, etc.)
    • Scrollview uses dynamic layers, creating them over the Scrollview original layer, then moving its contents to the new layer, automatically setting up clipping.
    • Behavior Properties can be set by actions
    • In Process Scrollviews use scrollbars to displace its content. The new scrollbars can be use as sliders, and as scrollbars with value-set buttons

    If anyone there has suggestions over these, I really appreciate them.

    Some Screenshots of the ACE's

  • Unfortunatelly no with current Construct's capabilities, I may need to hack the engine which is what I'm totally avoiding to keep the addons alive for as long as possible. ScrollView will work in the same way than ProUI's did.

  • I'm working on it testing thoroughly. I'm also planning a closed alpha, thus the community will be part of the testing process too. As I come up with the details I'll post about it. :)

  • Thanks for your support! In the short term, I'm developing the same UI addons and capabilities that ProUI have, that includes the ScrollView. My design, from the technical aspect, is completely different from ProUI, although both solve the same problems. SmartUI is highly integrated with Construct 3 available and documented features, so that should protect us (the devs) from breaking-changes longer than when using undocumented features. It handles zIndex interactions (when components overlap), focus handlers to cycle through components, and more.

    I already have 8 addons running and in testing:

    1. SmartUI Plugin (framework and navigation capabilities)
    2. Buttons Behavior
    3. Checkboxes Behavior
    4. Radio Buttons Behavior
    5. Dialogs Behavior
    6. Progress bars Behavior
    7. Scroll Bars Behavior
    8. Containers Behavior(new addon)

    The ones in process are:

    1. Scrollview Behavior
    2. Gridview Behavior

    Addons will be also fully documented on my website, I'm creating tutorial videos, and testing them thoroughly.

    I'm also planning a closed alpha testing. As soon as I have the details I'll post about it too.

    I don't have the launch date yet, but I'm aiming for this year to publish all the addons.
