Request: Version info in files

This is a small little thing, but it would be helpful to me if you could put in each lime related file a little commented line with the version that it is. Also, in the zip downloads, could you call the folder LimeBeta1.8 instead of just LimeBeta1? A little thing, but I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I was thinking about this too. Too many versions floating around. I was actually also thinking Graham could include a little flag in the library to put some visual indication briefly at the beginning of an app run. Some thing like DebugMode = ON and this would check current version of Lime and ensure all sub-lua files are of the same version and print something on the terminal like : Lime Version 1.8 - All OK or Lime version mismatch - Please reload etc. Shouldn’t be that hard to do for Graham. Nothing seems to be! [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16378[/import]

That would be really nice, ksan. It shouldn’t be that hard to do, you’d think. [import]uid: 8782 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16398[/import]

Hey, sorry I didn’t notice this thread as I’ve actually been *gasp* making a game *gasp*. I decided I would spend this day working on a new game as I’ve yet to actually release any (I have so many protoypes floating around it’s silly)

I don’t want to say too much about it yet, mainly because there isn’t much to say yet and it’s all placeholder art, but if all goes well I will be using Lime for my levels :slight_smile:

Anyway back to the question, that should be pretty easy to add in however naturally it will only work for later versions of the code. I will update the code in all the previous beta drops to have the flag but unless you decide to download old code then it won’t really make any difference.

Sounds great! Will look to see how far the master Lime squeezer can go with the tool!

As for the flag I would see this as a version checking tool going forward. I’m sure there’ll be many versions to come before and after your eventual release so lets do it when you can!

Thanks much once again for your customer focus! [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16438[/import]

Hehe, I’m not sure if it’s either customer focus or selfishness, basically all the features you guys are suggesting are things that make me sit here and think “That would be great, having that would make it easier for ME to make a game” :slight_smile: [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16506[/import]

This is now done. Will be in the next version. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16530[/import]

Oh Graham, you are so selfish!!! Thanks anyways! [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16549[/import]

Thanks, Graham! That’ll be a little thing that will help me out a lot. [import]uid: 8782 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16553[/import]

Awesome, glad it will. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16555[/import]

Great going. I now see “Using Lime version 2. All dependencies are A-OK.” . Super. Thanks once again. [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 5009 reply_id: 16951[/import]
