A new release of PRO and lite is now available.
SSK2 lite/PRO Updates: 2017.008
Fixed issue with factoryMgr.new() - Previously if nil was passed for < x, y > then < centerX, centerY > was used as a default. This broke some of my standard factories which relied on nil values to mean: ‘auto-place’. From now on, < x, y > values are passed to the factory instances without change.
Added ssk.misc.createPieChart() factory
Added ssk.misc.genCircleMask() helper
Added ssk.misc.pingPong() helper
Bug fix (key event autoListener not hooking up)
Added table.tokenize() function to create token separated strings from tables (opposite of string.split()).
Fixed bug in autolan require() that caused crash when enabling external libraries.
Improved detection of iPhone 7 variants.

SSK2 PRO & lite extras - Extras
(Warning: Not all extras work with lite version. Check the individual ReadMe files)
This release sees the following new extras:
- extras/_blanks/ - Blank starter projects (basic, tiled loader, horizontal generator, vertical generator)
- extras/toys/ - Miscellaneous stuff I’ve made that isn’t a game, but is still fun or interesting.
Additionally, I have started writing new free content for SSK2 users. This includes, games, demos, experiments, …
Over time, these will be packaged directly with SSK2 and/or my gitHub page.
To make my life easier, I have written these extras so they use the same resources. Those resources are included with SSK2:
- extras/factories/ - All of the factories that are fit-to-publish to-date.
- dangers - enemy objects
- huds - labels, counterts, etc.
- pickups - coins, …
- players - Player objects with many different movement styles.
- world - Various world objects.
- extras/images/ - Images used in new and upcoming content.
- extras/sounds/ - Sounds used in new and upcoming content.
Fundamentals Series
A new kind of SSK2 content that I’m making and providing free to the community is what I call (the) ‘Fundamentals Series’.
I’m going to write more about this in its own post, but here are two videos of the first to releases in this series:
