Early beta version of N7 - Marcus - 12-27-2021
Hello,
I'm very aware of the status of this completely dead forum. The forum will be removed/replaced or something soon.
Because of old and messy code, I couldn't develop n6 any further. There were language features I wanted to add but simply couldn't. However, during the summer 2021, I began working on n7, and I started from scratch (not a single line of code from n6 has been reused). To show you that me and naalaa are still, kind of, alive, I've now decided to release an early beta version of n7. And, yay, it's now "open source".
Here's a download link that will always be set to the latest version released:

Great, thanks for the release Marcus, will test it asap.
Missing libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll .
Maybe this will help:
The libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in the compiler's bin directory. You can add this directory to your PATH environment variable for runtime linking, or you can avoid the problem by adding "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" to your compiler flags.

Thanks, cvirus, I've updated the zip. Better try downloading it on another computer ...
RE: Early beta version of N7 - cvirus - 12-27-2021
Well, still got thae same problem, i tried the new zip, the compiler works nice but the result exe gives the same error the missing libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.
Tested in windows 10 and windows 11, same result.
RE: Early beta version of N7 - Marcus - 12-27-2021
Ok, that got real messy.
I couldn't make the static linking work (error was still there when trying to run from another computer), so I tried just adding "-static" to the flags, but that made PortAudio go complete apeshit. So for now, I've just added the missing DLL to the zip (all needed DLL files are copied to your program's folder when you build it from NED btw).
I've removed the old link, and the new one is:

Thanks for the help, cvirus
EDIT: No, I don't have much experience in using mingw, gcc or make
I'll have to do some reading.
RE: Early beta version of N7 - cvirus - 12-27-2021
It works great on Windows 10 but not on Windows 11, runs nice but doen`t compile or shows the result when you run it.
Gives me this on the console IDE.
Welcome to the most primtive IDE thinkable!

... Well, here's the final try. If it doesn't work I'll throw my computer out the window and become a poet.

RE: Early beta version of N7 - cvirus - 12-27-2021
Works great in my windows 11 machine, no need to be a poet, keep the computer around a little longer. :-)
RE: Early beta version of N7 - johnno1956 - 12-28-2021
I ran it with Wine on my Linux Mint box and it ran just fine. Is it too soon to ask about the Tilemap and Raycaster? By the way... I like the "dark" look as well...
