examples don't work
It seems like lots of the examples don't work anymore.
For example 15.1-isoimages, it loads and shows me something but I can't do nothing. Probably due to the errors:
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function IgeEngine.js:642
50Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function client.js:662
155Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function client.js:662
Also for 24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard and 101-isoisland it shows the loading screen and afterwards just a black screen without any error messages. A little weird is the server log though:
IGE log [IgeNode] : Current working directory is: S:\www\games\ige IGE log [IgeNode] : Starting game server in path: S:\www\games\ige/./examples/ 24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard IGE log [IgeNode] : Checking module paths declared in: S:\www\games\ige/./exam ples/24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard/ServerConfig.js IGE log [IgeNode] : Module paths confirmed, including 3 module(s)... IGE log [IgeNode] : Module "ServerNetworkEvents" loaded from: "S:\www\games\ig e/./examples/24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard/./gameClasses/ServerNetworkEven ts.js" IGE log [IgeNode] : Module "Character" loaded from: "S:\www\games\ige/./exampl es/24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard/./gameClasses/Character.js" IGE log [IgeNode] : Module "PlayerComponent" loaded from: "S:\www\games\ige/./ examples/24.4-multiplayer-isometric-keyboard/./gameClasses/PlayerComponent.js"
As you can see I'm on a windows machine currently and the paths looks slightly messed up, not sure if that works this ways. However it does load the modules.
Any Ideas?
Hmm that should not be the case, I wonder if a recent commit has broken something. I'll take a look now...
Did you find anything?
It seems to be a problem with the server. Basically the server just doesn't answer anymore as soon as "ige.start() -> requestAnimFrame(ige.engineStep);" gets called.
Am I the only one with that issue or are you able to reproduce that (just cloned the repo, so it's up-to-date)? Anyway: Any ideas?
Tried it today again on a linux machine and here it works. So might be a problem with windows or the node version I used. Dunno.
Hmm, that is interesting! Good to know.
I found some bugs in the examples though and am getting fixes in place at the moment. Won't be for a while though.
Glad it is working for you on linux though!
Any progress on this, I want to play around with this over the christmas break but the examples are not working?
Can you try now? I think some assets were missing from the web site that the engine wanted to load in most of the examples.
BY the way my asset fix won't fix 15.1-isoimages... that example has been messed up by some errant code. Gonna take some time to fix I think.
It would be really good to know which examples are working as expected, and which aren't.
It's very hard to learn with examples that are half-broken. The turret in 16.2 does not respond to mouse or keyboard, 5.1-ui shows no text, 50-shapes just shows two white squares (but maybe that's all it's supposed to do?). I really like the engine, and the lander game is absolutely brilliant but in order to learn, we either need comprehensive documentation or examples with descriptions of what they do.
@Irrelon , could you please go through and just make a list of which ones still actually work?
running 17.2-network-socketio server gives me:

@foobarbecue Hey ya. So I think that the version of IGE in the master / stable branch will not work with very new versions of Node.js - in fact it was tested against something super old like 0.12.x if I remember correctly. Things have moved on significantly since then for Node.js and I suspect that is where the incompatibility lies.
That said, I have been working on a new version of IGE with a simpler project structure (think AngularJS but without any bloat).
You can take a look at the latest version in the appCore branch of the IGE repo.
