[Swinxs-Announce] SwinxsSDK update

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

Hi everybody,

Good news! The SwinxsSDK has been updated and many new great features 
have been added which make it very easy to create and publish games.


*Shared Space*
In the Shared Space, you can share your games with all other developers. 
These games will not be available for the public, but might help to 
inspire you.
SwinxsTalk source will be included, so you can learn from it, or even 
improve it. Every shared game gets its own project page in the forums.



*Publishing games*
 From your developers account, it's one click away to submit your game 
to us, and then a to the Swinxs community. Once approved your game will 
appear on the download page as a Homemade game.



*
Paid games*
As game developer you can decide whether your game is a free download or 
a paid game. 70% of the proceeds will go to you and 30% will go to 
Swinxs BV/INC. The revenues will be paid out every quarter.


*Game properties*
We added a game property editor which makes it easy to configure your game:




*Firmware*
We released a new firmware with the following enhanchements:

    * NEW pause/resume audio (both fore- as background samples)
    * FIX Start/stop audio when paused
    * FIX The DATE word-var was filled incorrectly in such a way that
      only the day-of-week was valid.


Hopefully all these enhancements will stimulate you to write your own 
game and share it with us. Happy coding!
