SilverCreator v1.0.2 fixes another 20 bugs - including a few important bugs that caused SilverCreator to crash or repeat scripting multiple times. Weive also added a rewritten eraser tool, improved documentation, an INPUT command, improved game examples, and more.
SilverCreator v1.0.2 enables anyone with Mac OS 7.5.5 to Mac OS X to create and develop your very own games for the Macintosh at a price that canit be beat. Creating a game is as simple as drawing some graphics, typing some text, clicking some buttons, and compiling your masterpiece to a standalone Macintosh application.
Advanced developers can take advantage of the powerful event-based scripting language to create advanced and engaging games. Full QuickTime support is included (including Flash and QuickTime VR support) as well as a fast sprite system with full transparency support. You can even create online games where 2 players can play over the internet, with the built-in and easy to use socket support.
One youive made your game, you can compile it for Classic PPC, Mac OS X (Carbon), and even for 68K machines. Unlike other game creators, there are no royalty fees on games you create - you are free to give them away or charge any price you see fit.
