We’ve been hard at work since our last post to the PushButton Engine blog, and it’s time to talk about what’s new once again!
First off, we’ve posted several short videos with high level explanations of how PushButton Engine works. If you’ve read the code but still aren’t clear on the big picture and have 5 minutes to spare, these might help. There are three so far:
We’re working on more, so visit our forums and let us know what to cover next!
Have you ever wanted to listen to people talk about the PushButton Engine for extended periods of time? Well, your dreams just came true! Joseph Burchett from Game Developer’s Radio interviewed Ben Garney, lead developer of PushButton Engine, and asked him a bunch of interesting questions about PBE and Flash games. Give it a listen!
Finally, if you haven’t been keeping up with our SVN repository, you might want to start. Since our last release, we’ve had 269 commits from a dozen community members! We’re working on getting ready for another release, but the code in SVN is ready for the adventurous to use now. Docs are in progress for the next release; we have five new lessons. Three are on getting started with Flash CS4, FlashDevelop, and Flex Builder. The remaining two are on working with keyboard input and using and embedding images. They’re only going to work with the latest code from SVN, but when the new release is out, they’ll be on the official docs page and ready to go.
Thanks for reading!
