Minor site updates

Posted by Mark Tully
I've made a series of small improvements to the web site.

Now all email addresses are obscured to defend against spam bot harvesting. I know it's a bit late for those of you who, like me, post on the TNT Basic forums and get spammed to death because of it - but hey.

I've also updated the support section and the user docs to direct people to post feedback on the forums and to use the proper bug trackers and feature request trackers on sourceforge.net to submit bugs and feature requests.

Finally, at the bequest of forum regulars, I've added a new forum for people to discuss the games they're working on and bounce ideas of one another.

Like I said - minor!

First version of TNT Basic XCode project available

Posted by Mark Tully
The CVS version of TNT Basic on sourceforge.net finally compiles as a Universal Binary using XCode.

It's not finished yet and it basically doesn't work properly. So don't think you can do anything useful with it other than peruse the project and try and see how it fits together. I would advise everyone to wait until I've finished fixing and testing it before they start trying to do anything with the code.

The README that's distributed with the source contains instructions on how to get it to compile in XCode, you need to get PowerPlant and OpenPlay source code AND make modifications to both of them to get THEM to compile in XCode, so it's not for the faint of heart.

But, it's there, it compiles, links and runs as a Universal Binary and things can only get better from here.

Watch this space.

TNT Basic bug tracker now open...

Posted by Mark Tully
The bug, feature requests and patches trackers for TNT Basic are now open to the public.

Use the bug tracker to submit any bugs you find in TNT Basic and it will ensure they won't get forgotten about. Make use of the feature requests tracker and all your bright ideas won't get lost - they might even get implemented, you never know.

The patches tracker is for those budding TNT Basic hackers who are working on the TNT Basic source code. It provides a central place for people to post modifications to the source code and for me to harvest them from for future TNT Basic releases.

Please make use of these trackers, especially the bug tracker!

TNT Basic 1.3 Released!

Posted by Mark Tully
You thought it was never going to arrive, but just when you'd given up all hope - TNT Basic 1.3 is finally here!

This version features two much requested features by the TNT Basic community, namely window mode and removal of the 16Mb file size limit. The full release notes can be found here.

This version is the prelude to the imminent release of all of TNT Basic's and Hieroglyph's source code onto SourceForge. No the source isn't there yet, it will lag behind the binary release by a few days whilst I sort the code out for public consumption, but it won't be long.

Meanwhile grab 1.3 while it's hot!

Enjoy

New Server!

Posted by Mark Tully
Our ISP is moving tntbasic.com over to a new server. There shouldn't be any disruption, lost emails, lost forum posts or anything like that.

Hopefully.
