RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-15-2020
yeah it complains because gcc compiled a buggy dll, but it works fine now.
I'll change the readme.md to indicate people to use tcc on Windows, update the dates on the licenses, commit and do a first pull request.

I've accepted your pull request as a "draft", that I must review. Thanks! I guess you'll recieve a notification when the merge is done
RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-15-2020
You're welcome! If there are issues, don't hesitate to tell which ones you have encountered!
RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-21-2020
Thank you for accepting my pull request
There are still things I need to update, so I'll do another one soon
RE: Tilengine on Java - megamarc - 12-21-2020
Great :-)
I've done another push with some more modifications after yours, if you want to continue from there, then you should sync again
RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-21-2020
Alright!
RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-30-2020
It's not related directly with Java, but I want to avoid hardcoding certain things, especially raster effects
Can I use a scripting language likes LUA for that kind of tasks and keeps the main program in Java (or another language)?
RE: Tilengine on Java - megamarc - 12-30-2020
Hi,
Last year I released a modified tilengine version with Lua support. It's quite different than the other bindings, because this version is designed to act as a retroarch emulation core plugin, with the game itself written in Lua at the end. To have a rough idea:
Classic binding load chain:
Java game -> TilengineJNI.dll -> Tilengine.dll
Tilengine_libretro with Lua load chain:
RetroArch -> Tilengine_libretro.dll -> Game in Lua
Here's the project:
https://github.com/megamarc/Tilengine/tree/libretro
Basic example in Lua:
https://github.com/megamarc/Tilengine/blob/libretro/lua_game/game.lua
To use two different languages, you have to look for specific way (it may not be possible at all) for those languages. For Java + Lua you can check this forum thread:

RE: Tilengine on Java - System64 - 12-30-2020
Seems LUA is better with C language, someone recommends to use Groovy, jruby or jython
again, I don't know if I can interact with the game directly for graphics effects
Otherwise I have 2 more ideas :
- I can use game objects to define which effects is used : that still needs Hardcoding but still better than nothing
- I can use a classloader that loads a compiled class with a static method inside : More complex but more flexible
RE: Tilengine on Java - megamarc - 12-31-2020
Whichever method you choose will be ok
However, a little advice for this early stage of evaluation and prototype testing. Don't over-engineer it. I mean, don't create a surrounding infrastructure that is more complex than the functionality you try to accomplish. Adhere to the KISS principle: Keep It Short and Simple.
