In Topic: Repackage android for BlackBerry 10

21 January 2013 - 10:49 PM

I believe this was brought up before, and the consensus was that since GM:Studio Android apps makes use of some sort of C rather than being completely written in Java, repackaging the apps for Blackberry isn't possible.


I will probably try to create a simple one a repackage.

If I recall Blackberry 10 is actually pushing C more than Java. And has been since their OS for their tablet. I'll try it... Hopefully game maker will have a build for it. Cuz looking at the news Blackberry is making a combat and alot of businesses are getting behind BlackBerry 10 devices.

In Topic: Could we make Live wallpapers?

You have to remember, that this is GAME Maker, not Live Wallpaper Maker. So i doubt it will ever be possible.

I feel bad for the ignorant, it's certainly not bliss here.

Just because it has "game" in the name doesn't limit it to such. All you need to do is modify the manifest file in the APK and add a few extra lines of code to turn a "game" into a live wallpaper. It'd be nice if GM:Studio could do this by default.


Just because someone points out a flaw in your argument don't fob them off as being ignorant, lest you yourself want to be fobbed off as being arrogant... especially in this case as they have hit the nail on the head!

This is GAMEMaker we are talking about, with the focus being on games. Why should the developers of the product add in this specialist functionality that removes the product from the direction it is going in? Wouldn't it be better if they spent the time necessary to do this on other, more pressing issues? Like IMPROVING the product for making games and not wallpapers? There are many many features that could be added to help those that wish to make games (better sound support anyone?) without adding in other, largely unnecessary features.


Technically Nocturne Live Wallpapers are under the game category in the Google Play store. Not like I condone fobbing people off as ignorant tho. In all honesty some live wall paper could also have game related values to them...or even be used to optimize ones game in slights ways...

I know this post was a while back but I decided to do a search about live wallpapers and I found this.

In Topic: GM:Studio Updating Fails

29 May 2012 - 07:45 PM

honestly I've kinda had similar problems. But I think its something with my computer's setup. I think the factory has set it up weird. Cuz I realized yesterday I can't create anything in the C:\ Drive...(text file etc) unfortunately also changing the privileges doesn't help. Anyways its been a mess to clean up.... (Don't buy Toshiba Laptops....buy Toshiba TV's...not laptop)

anyways point of this... is see if you have other privileges like creating a text file directly into the C drive... if that works... I dunno what to tell you.

But another question... I didn't realize there was an update yesterday. Are updates no longer applying to beta?

In Topic: Tilting the phone ?

Try YoYo_GetTiltX and YoYo_GetTiltY...see if those work

Honestly you may need to reinstall gmstudio. see if that fixes it.
