@nicolasbulgarides thx, I knew get game scene allows us to change the cursor but it seems like not work during the resources loading screen.
I tried to change the cursor in initSettings method but it doesn't allow me to do that, so I have to change the cursor in initInput method but in this way, during the resources loading screen, the cursor will remain the blue triangle
if I set the experimental native to true, then the cursor will change to system default cursor during the resources loading screen

@Override
protected void onUpdate(double tpf) {
if(firstInit){
firstInit = false;
getGameScene().getInput().setRegisterInput(false);
getGameController().pauseEngine();
onFinished.onInitFinished();//callback to enable javafx init pane
return;
}If embedded launch method could provide a callback of initialization then it will simpler to implement this mechanism
e.g.
GameApplication.embeddedLaunch(game, () -> {...}); //2nd parameter is onFinish callback
Improved, use EngineService onGameReady method to implement that mechanism
private static boolean firstInit = true;
@Override
public void onGameReady(PropertyMap vars) {
super.onGameReady(vars);
if(firstInit){
FXGL.getGameScene().getInput().setRegisterInput(false);
FXGL.getGameController().pauseEngine();
Main.enableInitPane();
firstInit = false;
}
}
@phi-whiterabbit Hi, I think x,y became read only to avoid issues with viewport effects, such as shake. How about binding the viewport to a "ghost" entity and moving that entity? Should give the same effect.
As for bindToFit, I can see it is commented out -- I may have forgotten to migrate it to 11+. Please can you open an issue, so this gets tracked and fixed. If you need it now, here it is commented out, you might be able to patch it from outside of FXGL given all of the calls made seem to be publicly accessible
@chengenzhao Re: init callback for embedded mode, good idea -- I also encountered this issue when I tried to build an app this way. It's currently tracked via an inlined TODO, so I will open an issue for this
Seems like if we enable experimental native, then the default cursor will remain the system default cursor but no idea why
experimentalNative should go away soon since we now support native (that is running on mobile and desktop with native libs). If we are running natively, FXGL will safeguard certain areas, such as font loading, particle effects, as these may not be ready on all platforms.
If you think we should have a default cursor, which will be set to all scenes at the start, feel free to create an issue for this
Like background mountains far
I guess you could bind its x,y to viewport x,y?
Besides, I tried to follow the default loading scene implementation, and seems like the progress number is always set to -1.0, could it be possible to show the progress of resources loading?
I tried to utilize onExistingTo and onDestroy method, but it doesn't work
@Override
public void onExitingTo(Scene nextState) {
FadeTransition ft = new FadeTransition(Duration.millis(1000), getContentRoot());
ft.setFromValue(0.0);
ft.setToValue(1.0);
ft.play();
ft.setOnFinished(e -> {
super.onExitingTo(nextState);
});
}
I can't seem to find any way to change the volume of music that actually works. Maybe I am just blind, but this is the only thing I found so far that actually compiles, though it doesn't change volume :(
@AlmasB: cconcerning bindToFit i will file a corresponding feature request, and adapt the commented out implementation. Thanks.
So, when scene is done, play fade out, when animation is done, change scene
class MyService extends EngineService {
}
settings.addService(MyService.class);
Anyone notice that when opening GeoWarsApp.java in an Intellij project, buildAndPlay() is flagged as not resolvable? It builds OK from maven. Is it something I did wrong when opening the GeometryWars project? Or a known Intellij issue?
The project runs fine from intellij and from the command line, but the syntactic analysis seems to think something is wrong
Hi @AlmasB , hope things are well. I have a question about how FXGL app / scene set-up interacts with the robot createCapture function. I am successful in using the robot class to take a screenshot of the FULL screen, outside of app window, but this setup has the unintended consequence of requiring a shift to fullscreen then a shift back out to have a screenshot that is only the application window. Mind you, I am not writing these images, im displaying them in ImageViews for the user. Tying this back to FXGL, when I try to use the .snapshot on any node, I get an exception relating to the threading of the window
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on FX application thread; currentThread = FXGL Background Thread 4, and I have tried using the FXGL.getGameScene.getContentRoot and .getRoot. Its odd that there is this interaction considering the full screenshot with rectangle bounds works but just one specific node doesn't....if you have an idea on how to the .snapshot method, or another way of taking a screenshot of just the application window without writing it, please let me know. Thank you :-)
Your external approach should also work fine, just need to call from the javafx thread, not FXGL's
I'm making a 2d platform game and i wanted to know how to make different events happen depending on which side of the entities the collision happens. Think of a goomba from Super Mario, how depending on where the collision happens, the player either takes damage or kills the goomba.
pls help :)
good day to all, first of all I wanted to say thank you for FXGL, and secondly I wanted to ask about testing my application, whether there are any tutorials or you can give me advice on how to at least write tests, thank you in advance)
@0BlueLvr3h: I still don't know much and maybe there is such an option, but if not, then I would just compare the coordinates of the player and the object
@yuralavrinov:matrix.org I suppose it depends on what you wish to test.
For unit tests, you'd mostly test your own classes, so pick up something like JUnit 5 and you are good to go.
As for other types, I haven't considered integration / system tests with FXGL yet. You probably will need to have a @BeforeAll that works for all tests, so you can start FXGL once, run your tests, then shut FXGL down.
@/all FYI, we now have GitHub Discussions up and running, so feel free to post ideas and questions there
@AlmasB For example, I want to test the movement of a player, how can I do this ? if you do as I do, it compares the coordinates that the player had after closing the application. So I can't influence the movement in any way ?
I did something like this, but it's not right @ExtendWith(RunWithFX.class)
public class MazeTests {
@BeforeAll
public static void init() {
GameApplication.launch(MazeRunnerMain.class, new String[0]);
}
@Test
public void playerInit() {
assertEquals(40, getGameWorld().getSingleton(PLAYER).getX());
assertEquals(40, getGameWorld().getSingleton(PLAYER).getY());
playerComponent.moveRight();
assertEquals(44, player.getX());
}}
I see that the physics engine is implemented by Box2d. But when I search the example code the physics engine isn't really used for motion, just for collisions. Is the physics engine mostly for platformer games? I was going to create a space-type game with gravity, is it recommended for games to implement their own movement if it is simple enough?
