Buon in ring 1.19 ?

[stefano cerbioni]

I believe I have found a bug in version 1.19 of Ring on Lubuntu 23 (Lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXQt). In practice, with version 1.19, the program doesn't work unless in the ENGINEDOM.ring file, you move the directive 'load "gameengine.ring" # Give Control to the Game Engine' before the block where it creates the GUI. Specifically, it needs to be moved to line 76. At that point, it works, but if you press a key and try to display the GUI, the program freezes. However, leaving everything as is with version 1.18 works perfectly. Why is that? Thanks to everyone.

Hello Stefano

It's not a bug

It's how this library is designed to work

Look at this part in the documentation and read the comments

Demo Project - Game Engine for 2D Games — Ring 1.19 documentation (ring-lang.github.io)

Load "gameengine.ring" # Give Control to the Game Engine So using gameengine.ring already give the control to the game engine

And the game engine will call the Main() function later

It works this way (To support special requirements by Allegro on macOS)

If you did that, the code that create the GUI using RingQt will not be executed

Because gameengine.ring will get the control.

Yes, It's a bug, I am sorry for not noticing/confirming it once you reported it.

Today I received an email from Ilir Liburn about this bug and more details.

Fixed in Ring 1.21 in this commit: Update Visual Source (Using PWCT) - Ring VM - language/src/vmvars.c -… · ring-lang/ring@ea24bcb (github.com)

Thank you very much for the report :D

Greetings,

Mahmoud
