Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 11-14-2013
Are folks here comfortable with creating a Linux VM? If so I can supply RedBox as a .deb file. Otherwise I can supply it as a .vmdk file for use with VM solutions. RedBox is the standard development environment (SDE) for the ZXodus][Engine and provides all of the tools and scripts required.

Ok great. I may yet come up with a Python based solution in future but right now I want to focus on the engine rather than the build tools.

I dont use Linux.
Any help to get Linux working on xp would help.
Re: ZXodus][Engine - ardentcrest - 11-16-2013

Cant wait
to see whats its like
Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 11-17-2013
I'm building the tool chain on OS X, because that's what I use. I'm running ZX-Paintbrush, BeepFX, and Vortex Tracker II under WINE. If I can get my head around Python I may be able to move the build scripts over from Bash, in which case a Linux VM might not be necessary. Currently I'm porting the alpha version of the Character Generator for U3.5
B (the game I'm writing) over to ZXBasic. Boriel has kindly agreed to dual license ZXBasic under the LGPL so I can distribute the tool chain without worrying about licensing rules.
Re: ZXodus][Engine - boriel - 11-19-2013
Cheveron has asked me to changed the ZX BASIC license from GPL to LGPL and I agree.
LGPL allows ZX BASIC distribution and linkage to other non-GPL, non-free programs. (e.g. BorIDE could include ZX Basic packaged within it).
As I mentioned before, I'm currently in a hard deadline (finishing a research project :wink:, it will end by 31st Dec of the present year), so don't wait for me: if you need to release your project NOW, just put this LICENSE within (you have here my *public* express permission to do so!).
Anyway, If I understood correctly, you can already distribute the previous GPL licensed ZX BASIC with your work:
- * for the original source, just link to the ZX BASIC Source page: https://github.com/boriel-basic/zxbasic
* if you made changes to the source you can either distribute that modified source code or the diff files.
I've also updated the license description in the https://github.com/boriel-basic/zxbasic/blob/main/LICENSE.txt to LGPL.
Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 11-19-2013
Many thanks for making this change. I'm now looking at implementing the RedBox toolset in Python to make the whole thing integrated and portable. Only trouble is a lot of the build tools are currently in C and I don't know Python.
Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 01-10-2014
I've finally got around to putting a ZXodus page up. It's on Facebook but it should be viewable without an account:
http://facebook.com/zxodus
I'll put up some simple tutorials on creating game components when I get the chance.
Re: ZXodus][Engine - boriel - 01-10-2014
Thanks!
You got my Like!
Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 01-10-2014
Thanks. I've put up an FAQ which summarizes the answers to the questions that folks have asked here. But let me know if there are any more questions.

Re: ZXodus][Engine - cheveron - 01-13-2014
I'll be adding more details to the notes section of the page over the coming week. So far I've covered character classes and spells. Next up, weapons.
