I have created a particle library for GM8 Lite.

You can define particle types:

• sprite
• life
• gravity
• creation speed/direction
• random scaling, x and y scale
• gradual scale change

And emitters:

• particle type
• position
• size(width and height)
• number of particles/step

Each object can have up to 10 different particle types and 10 different emitters.

Is it possible to rotate a basic shape like a block or cylinder when adding it to a model? If it is, how?

In the game I'm making, I have many static rotated objects all looking the same, all with several transformation lines and d3d_draw_*shape*(), slowing the game down. The fps is not yet a problem, but I'm going to add more objects.

spikemodel=d3d_model_create();

d3d_transform_set_identity();
d3d_transform_add_translation(-x,-y,0);
d3d_transform_add_rotation_y(-90);
d3d_transform_add_translation(x,y,6);
d3d_model_cylinder(spikemodel,x-5,y-5,0,x+5,y+5,500,1,36,0,6);
d3d_transform_set_identity();

This is what I tried, but the d3d_transform lines are ignored.

• Download: cellshade.zip - extract before running

The example loads a .dat model, exported from Marzipan and draws a cell shaded version of it.

I edited the loadDatModel() script to store the model data in arrays and made a script making a cell shade model using this data.

The difference between the normal model and the cell shade model is that the texture x is set to the dot product of the vertex normal and light direction vector, making a cell shade effect when the model is drawn with a half dark, half white texture.

The texture is made half semi transparent, half transparent using background_set_alpha_from_background(). In gm8, I believe this can be replaced with a single bg.

Because the cell shade model is remade every step as the light direction changes, it has a certain impact on the game speed.

The cell shade model is only shaded, not textured, because the shading is done with a texture. So a normal, textured version of the model is drawn first, then the cell shade model. The result is like the image below.

Download moose's_pancake_adventure.exe from Host-A

The game contains 10 levels of isometric platforming with 4 different themes.
All graphics(except font) and programming is done by me. Thanks to my brother for making some of the levels.
I have had problems with the game freezing some times, but I hope I have fixed it. If not, you only need to restart the game to get to the level you were at, as it saves your progress in a .ini file.
No sound or music.

WASD+L controls for people with two arrow keys+other key problems:

This version(WASD) shouldn't be considered when voting in the Jam.
