Hello people.

Sorry for my english.
I would like to know about "AGK Trial version".
That it will be disabled and how quickly will run the code? (compilation of code)
And where all this will be displayed? (in the browser window, or will be a simulator?)

Please explain.

This is the first I've heard of any such "AGK Trial version". Does it exist? Will it work on a Mac?

A trial version hasn't been decided on yet. So at the moment it doesn't exist.

Details will come when they come I guess. We'll all know a lot more on August 15th or shortly thereafter.

I wrote a similar letter addressed to Rick Vanner. ("Financial Director - The Game Creators Ltd")

Here's the answer:

I'm now out of the office on a family break. I'll be back Tuesday 2nd August.

"KISTech" - maybe you can explain something ? (you've already tested the beta version)

I can answer questions about the AppGameKit itself. Beyond that I don't have any more information than you do.

If it's about the language, feel free to ask.

If it's about the language, feel free to ask.

Yes, I have a few questions.
I'm interested in speed of execution of code or compile.
Press "F5" and then what? (go to drink tea until no window opens for your project)

And second question concerns the graphic commands.
You could not enumerate a list of commands responsible for managing the image. ("loadimage or alphamode" - for example)

I would not want that be "AGK" looked like a "Monkey language". (he, unfortunately, I was very disappointed)

Compiling and execution is very quick. There is a Build and Run button in the IDE that when clicked I barely get my finger off the mouse button and the app is already running.

There seems to be a few comparisons being made with Monkey. I have no experience with Monkey, so I can't really compare them, but I did release the source code for a quick little Asteroid Blast game that you can look at here. The source is in my post about half way down the page.

So if you've seen Monkey code, you can compare it to this.

NOTE: Some commands have changed their syntax slightly since that was posted.

- Thank you for your clarification.

And thank you for your attention - people.

Monkey the language in many ways is like a basic version of Java or C++. It is Object oriented out of the box.

It's only good decent quality IMO is that you can convert code from Monkey into different platforms native code. In other words you could build monkey code and translate it to X Code for ios devices and you can then add on stuff by yourself in xcode like iAds.

However, it is missing a lot and only comes with the bare bones basic things. According to Mark no major features are expected until after April 2012. Only small updates and bug fixes.

o No physics support (you have to create it yourself)
o No networking support
o No virtual joystick support (you have to build your own)
o The IDE is very simple. The IDE is really just too simple
o No built in way to do collisions (you have to build your own)
o No multidimensional arrays
o Poor documentation (horrible and very basic)
o Has issues with speed on many platforms (speed can be a big issue)

I could go on and on, but I will stop there. Mark (the creator of Monkey) basically leaves it up to the community to fill in the gaps. Which for $120 is not good.

That is my perspective on what Monkey is all about, of course monkey does support more platforms at the moment, but HTML5 is just too slow and unusable.

Yes, you can make games with Monkey, but a lot of the work you have to do yourself. So, honestly for gaming it's not that great for $120 US dollars, that is kind of expensive for what you get.

I'm not a fan of the "Monkey" and totally agree with you DMXtra

I love the quality, and I would like to believe that "AGK" do not repeat the fate of "Monkey".
