New release from Merick of his Map Editor:
Lua Map Maker v0.5
By Merick
3/15/2007
changes for version 0.5
-- LuMM is now a stand-alone app, using Soulkiller's mod of Cool's mod 3

quote:
Image.startBlit()
Call this function to begin blitting, you MUST do this in order to make fastBlit calls
Image:fastBlit( x, y, image [subX, subY, width, height,] alpha)
This is the function that you call in between Image.startBlit and Image.endBlit, Its pretty much exactly
the same thing as a normal Image:blit call and the arguments are for it are the same
Image.endBlit()
Call this function to end blitting. Image:fastBlit functions may not be after this unless a new call to Image.startBlit() is made
end quote
this function can increase the speed of blitting images for tile maps, but there is a bug which prevents transparencies so I'm currently only using it only for the
base map layer
-- small change in control layout for menus - all menus now use start button to accept selection
-- my previous method of refrencing tile image was inadequate, any changes to the files in the tile folder
would completely alter the order in which the images were refrenced. To fix this, I've now made it so that
the tile images are refrenced by the image filenames.
-- I've also made the tile loading function more intelligent, it will now only attempt to load files that acutally are images
only .jpg and .png are
-- Added a view checking function to the map base layer so that it only blits the tiles that are actually inside the current viewing area
-- added a description of the map table format to the readme

Ferrari and System 3 today announced that System 3 has secured the rights to publish Ferrari licensed games on the PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP. Details are somewhat thin on the ground regarding the games at this stage, other than that they'll be based on the Ferrari Challenge series and will feature "real cars, real tracks and true Ferrari racing dynamics".
In terms of each specific version, the PS3 game is apparently being "developed to maximise the technology in the new console format such as a 16-player feature rich simultaneous online mode with elements not yet seen in any race game to-date", while the Wii game will "fully support the unique control system offered by this system, including control by a Wii steering-wheel". No surprises there. As far as the handheld games go, the PSP and DS versions will "feature 4-player wireless play including adhoc play and game share".
While we know next to nothing, the announcement is exciting in and of itself, and we know that a first look at the game is only three months off - System 3 have already announced that international press will be able to attend a preview session at the home of Ferrari, in Maranello, Italy, in late June, which will coincide with the company's 60-year celebrations. The event will also play host to announcements of further System 3 titles, such as "Ferrari Street Racer" which features the entire range.
System 3's CEO, Mark Cale had this to say about the announcement: "Video games and racing have been my two passions during the twenty-five years that I've been in the business. Finally the two have collided and I'm immensely proud to be bringing the Ferrari Challenge to market this year. We have invested in the best development talent in the industry and I'm confident that the game will be even more impressive than the license."
