pic = function(s) return ...
I did it by defining a variable
myroom=room{....}
and then myroom.pic=whateverpic
it confused me there was no "self" or "this" so that, within a room object, I could refer to oneself
Its like that you are using legacy api. Did you read docs? https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md
Now I'm struggling with web port. "Instead" games demos are in web format, which are one of the reasons for me to try "instead" (the other being the adventure programming language). Docs are not telling how to achieve this. Do you know if this is a non-released feature?
In fact there are few web versions, but if you are talking about instead-games.ru most likely you are talking about emscripten version
Another issue I am finding is whether there is the possibility of delivering some information to a server from the game. I am thinking about game analytics. There seems to be no primitive for internet communication.
As a last resource, I can code something using the sources, but wonder if something like retrieving content with an URL was available (you can always code basic http GET calls with this)
And custom lua modules
But it will bind game to you own version of instead
it induces confusion on users I tested when the cursor does not change
also, in the doc, it says animated gifs are supported. I have tried in the pic field, also in decor with fmt.img, also in png and gif formats. So far, none of these worked. Is something missing?
in fact currently instead can be rewritten in instead. there is decor module for example. where is renderer is written in lua, so in theory, you could do anything (like in Love2d) but this functionality is not in core. btw you MAY change cursor via theme module, but you cant detect that mouse is over the link
animated gifs are supported, we have a few games with it. may be it is some kind of gif idkn. for example: http://instead-games.ru/game.php?ID=46
game with animated gif cutscenes
@escalope btw if you are using the telegram, you can join https://t.me/insteadtalk It is not official but there are much more people there. and it is connected with jabber and discord conferences...
wow, need a translator :)
@gl00my Помнишь мы раньше убрали пакеты с документацией? joe-skb7/instead-debian@78229fd
@gl00my Вопрос: обновилась ли английская документация, стоит ли мне вернуть -doc пакеты?
@gl00my И ещё один вопрос. Я добавил файл метаданных: https://github.com/joe-skb7/instead-debian/blob/master/debian/upstream/metadata . Можешь посмотреть, всё ок с твоей точки зрения?
@gl00my Предварительно закинул новый пакет сюда: https://mentors.debian.net/package/instead . Если всё ок, буду отправлять Александру на заливку.
Метаданные вроде ок
@joe-skb7 извини за задержку с ответом
