Okay well i was not sure whether to put this in the Tutorials section or not, but considering that I am building my own 2D engine, it should most likely fit in this Discussion. ( IF not, the newly appointed MODS can exercise their duties =P )
While i still do not have the time to fully prepare tutorials and full working examples, i will shortly upload a quick early version of the engine (Version 0.2).

Okay here is version 0.2 of the engine: http://agent48.webs.com/

please leave comments/suggestions/crits here...

The main thing i am interested in is performance and loading times. So if i could ask anyone who tries it to tell me if the loading/downloading screen was fine (should be approximately 3 seconds for 512k connection) and actual in-game performance. Note that a performance boost can be gained by switching off the 'mist' feature (selectable option in the quick menu).

Anyway the next features to come include:
- NPC's
- Initial STAT System
- Fading Roof System
- Initial COMBAT System
- Few other nifty graphical features
- GUI
- More extensive options menu

BUG NOTE: I have not added any collision boundaries to the outskirts of the cell, hence you can walk of screen and never come back

Thanks,
- Agent.

this is really great!

Glad you like it, i apologize for the crummy artwork, i put this quick example together today in about 30mins -Excluding any of the heavy scripts which i have already pre-made for my school project.

Was the frame rate fine for you halls?

Nice job so far. Had pretty good performance and it took almost no time to load.

Really neat!! Can't wait too see more.

Thats a sweet start

Thanks, I have worked on it a bit more, just waiting to fly through my final exams over next couple weeks - after that I will be working full time on it

I also recently started working on a quick flash photo gallery - All the actual photos are externally called for from the server - so the app may load first but photos will take a bit longer to pop up. ( http://agent48.webs.com/PhotoGallery/Gallery1.swf )

Very nice all of it loaded instantly for me.

Very nice! I can't wait to see more of it.

It loaded instantly on my system, too.
