  Why do you suggest SDL_Mixer? I'm not interested in the cross-platform features, and it is missing a lot of XAudio2 features.

  There are two versions of the SDK - Win32 and MFC. You could try compiling the Win32 one, but it requires ATL, which is also missing from the Express editions I think...

  I think all the interfaces to Construct itself are const char*s - it might be possible to eliminate all dependency on MFC/ATL...

  I think you can publish games to XBox live so long as you pay a $99 yearly subscription. I think the end users who want to publish their games will have to pay that too, but it's affordable. It's a cool idea, but I don't have an XBox, which kinda falls at the first hurdle with that.

  Yeah, we're hoping Python can do all that, once it works again Davo's working on fixing it for the next build I think... once it's working, we can start incooperating new modules etc.

  I don't know about Python plugins, but events-as-python is definitely a no. Python may be fast, but events are only fast because they're written in optimised compiled C++, and I don't believe Python has a JIT compiler of any kind. Also, it's implausible for C++ plugins, and then when you think about it, what actual advantage does it offer?

  If that's all you need maybe just throw in a 'pick a random' condition.

  The forums went down twice today, I contacted our host and it seems the server reset twice or something. Harrumph. Hopefully everything will be OK now...

  The Plugin SDK has been updated to reflect changes in the VRuntime, VEditTime interfaces and the Common ACE library.

  Download the Plugin SDK 0.98.5

  The CVS now reflects the latest plugin SDK as well.

  1: You can try setting the sprite's collisions mode to 'Bounding box' instead of 'Per pixel'.

  2: No, there's no built in way to do this. What are you trying to achieve?

  The new Prof-UIS build included some UI bug fixes which is just a good idea to have, really. It's also got some new back-end features, like a themed messagebox class, which we might be able to take advantage of in future.
