[Swinxs-Announce] New release SwinxsSDK

[Mark R. <mar...@sw...>]

Hi,

Today we released a new SwinxsSDK. Most noticeable changes are:

    * Reworked user interface: better graphics;  bleep tags by dragging
      the XS over Swinxs; move/shake Swinxs by drag&drop
    * Implemented voice recording in SwinxsTalk (below I added a code
      snippet how to write a simple game make your own recording)

Also note worthy is that we have ported the SwinxsLink to Mac OS X. 
Although still in beta, it works fine. So Mac users can install games 
onto their Swinxs without dual boot to Windows anymore!

For more information, downloads, etc, go to developers.swinxs.com.

PS: Here's how to implement voice recording in your games:

variables
{
    const ST_WAIT = 100;
    const ST_PLAY = 200;
    const ST_RECORDING = 300;
   
    const ID_SAMPLE = 10000;
}

machine
{  
    startup
    {
        sound.play("SOUND", 00001);            // Explain the user interface

        if ( ! button.green.down )
            state.move(ST_WAIT);
    }
   
    state(ST_WAIT)
    {
        if ( ! sound.playing )
            sound.off;       
       
        if ( button.green.short )
        {
            sound.off;
            state.move(ST_PLAY);
        }
       
        if ( button.green.long )
        {
            sound.off;
            sound.record.on(ID_SAMPLE);            // Start recording
            state.move(ST_RECORDING);
        }
    }
   
    state(ST_PLAY)
    {
        if ( ! sound.playing )
        {
            sound.play("SOUND", ID_SAMPLE);        // Play the recorded 
sample
            state.move(ST_WAIT);
        }
    }
   
    state(ST_RECORDING)
    {
        if ( ! button.green.long )
        {
            sound.record.off;
            state.move(ST_WAIT);
        }
    }
}
