Post: Basic Embedding

I was playing around with Tilengine a little bit, but noticed that the input options were a touch on the limited side. At first, I thought this meant I wouldn't be able to use Tilengine for any of my ...

Thanks, megamarc. I've got a few websites of my own. Some of this will probably find its way to those sites in the future, as more formal tutorials with some graphics and better writing. But time is l...

Post: RE: Drawing a background of tiles

It wasn't nearly as hard as I had thought it would be. And you do put a sizable number of comments in your code, which makes it a bit easier to follow. Also, Unity has supported the importing and use ...

Seems reasonable. It would be great to see other people continue to support the engine by creating additional bindings for additional languages. But it's understandable that you would want to focus on...

This update should be really useful. I realize that 16 inputs per player might seem like a lot. But in this modern age of extremely complex controllers, it doesn't quite provide as many as a developer...
