Long time gone

I have been gone for quite some time and "popped in" to see how things are going. The last version of PAS I downloaded was 2.8.2 (Linux)... and noticed that this is still the current version. Is PAS going to continue to be developed or is Sandbox looking into other features (may be the wro...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

I was searching for PAS videos, and one of the demos, illustrated a side-scroller. It was really good. Makes my attempt look like a crayon drawing. LOL. I will continue with my level, just to see if I can do it, but will probably go no further. It is not logical to 're-invent the wheel'. I may have ...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

I have made a very rough level, based on the previous "sketch", that took me many, many, many minutes to put together. level 1.png I am thinking of placing a thin "skybox" on either side of the level. Just so the player wont "fall" off the platform... lol (just a though...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

My grandson's both liked Save the Princess specially when I didn't quite make it to a building... They have both seen #2, and yes, plenty of lava... I suppose I was spared the humiliation by NOT bursting into flames... They got a BIG kick out of that... *sigh* "share screens of your levels"...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

The SandboxGameMaker was my first choice... All it appeared to do was to launch maps. This infers that PAS would have to be installed prior to installing SandboxGameMaker. I thought if was a bit suspect when the file size was only 14meg... It appears that Ubuntu/Mint no long has PAS in the repositor...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

Not a problem. Anytime. Note: I think it was either version 2.6.1 or 2.7.1 that used to be included in Ubuntu's repository. But, for some reason, it was dropped. Unfortunate, as it was so much easier to install... I might even try finding the installation file... who knows, it may still work... Anot...

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

As a habit, I create a launcher, to run the program. But, as per your request, I did as you asked. Executed 'sandbox' and got the previous error as before... Executed './sandbox_unix' (from the directory via a terminal or a launcher) and the program ran flawlessly. Screenshot at 2017-03-19 23-05-48....

Re: Installation of PAS 2.8.2

The three lib dev files were all ready installed and the latest versions. Performed the "make clean all install" and THAT seems to have done the trick. PAS is now running. Is there an explanation as to why the problem existed in the first place? Just curious. Many thanks to ALL involved in...
