Hi everyone. Just joined and only got MPAGD yesterday. I didn't pay anything. Don't get me wrong, if I find this useful and end up making something better than in BASIC, I will return and donate for sure. I'm just wary as most Speccy game makers in the past have been rather lacklustre. It looks great from the videos I've watched, but needed to see it working myself first.
So far, I am having issues. I've watched the first tutorial vid at least 4 times now and double checked everything I have done. All I get is a complete crash after it attempts to load. It was so promising for awhile
Although the real time loading speed may get old quickly (especially when it keeps crashing), but I could probably live with it. I'm using the .75 version which looks like the latest one.
I've loaded the Diamond Geezers example and all is well I really can't see what on earth is crashing my basic one sprite game demo from working. I followed the video exactly, then after no success, with only a player sprite. Hell I've even tried just some blocks. I would have been happy just to see some graphics at this point.
Best I've got is a colourful crash screen and Worse a regular one.
There were a lot of different versions to download. Perhaps I have got the wrong one?
I've had a quick search about loading crashes and saw a comment along the lines of if you have the proper version you should have no issues. What would that be? I really hope it doesn't mean the free version just doesn't work, as unless I see it working, I will not be buying. I can't see that though, hardly worth giving out a useless demo.
What on earth could be the issue? Can't even get a row of wall blocks to load
Edit:
Okay. Found the problem. I was exporting to the documents folder. Not to the install folder. As soon as I changed to it I got my basic screen up. Hopefully will get something running so I can donate! Think I will be able to beat any BASIC offerings now I have it running
