Zyps 0.7.6

jay — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:58:08 +0000

With this release, the Zyps project welcomes a new contributor, Jim Vallandingham.

New features:
Clock now lets you speed up or slow down global time. A corresponding control has been added to the GUI.
New actions - SpawnAction, ShootAction, ExplodeAction. These should make it easy to build a 2D shooter game now.
A new condition - ElapsedTimeCondition.

Zyps 0.7.5

jay — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 09:47:51 +0000

Behavior#perform changed to call start(), do() on all actions if no Conditions specified.
do() for all actions changed to allow empty target list.
Turn action now unconditional in GUI.
Added WrapAround to environmental factors.

Zyps 0.7.4

jay — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:11:34 +0000

This version offers considerable speed improvements, thanks to better caching of distance and angle calculations and a simple scheduler for Behaviors.

Zyps 0.7.3

jay — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:09:46 +0000

Re-added ‘click here’ message to GUI.
Trails mode didn’t play nice with resizing or messages, so removed it.
Brightened default creature color in GUI.

Zyps 0.7.2

jay — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:55:17 +0000

This release of Zyps makes several additions to the GUI, including the ability to save your environment and re-load it later.

Zyps 0.7.1

jay — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 05:32:03 +0000

In this version, window resize bugs (especially on OS X) should be fixed.

Zyps 0.7.0

jay — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:52:34 +0000

This is a major release for Zyps. Most important is the switch from the Ruby-GNOME2 to WxRuby, which is available as a gem. This means no more manual installation of dependencies before you can run the Zyps GUI. (And a nice little rendering speed boost, too.)

Behaviors now act upon all eligible targets in a single update, as well. This means more flexibility for your Actions and Conditions.

James Britt got Ruby-GNOME2 running on KUbuntu, and shared his steps to do so:

Set 1: get the ruby-gnome source and unpack. You get a directory tree
like this:

Step 2

Read the README. But it is incomplete.

run this

   ruby extconf.rb
   make
   sudo make install

in the root of this source tree

Step 3:

Install the zyps gem

Step 4:

Try running zyps_demo. It will likely fails, and complain tht it cannot
find something, such as gtk2

Go to the ruby-gnome dir and cd into the sub dir for the missing lib.

Run this, in that dir

   ruby extconf.rb
   make
   sudo make install

Steps 5 - N

Keep trying the demo, and if it fails, note which lib is missing, find
it in one of the ruby-gnome subdirs, and run the above
extconf/make/install sequnce
