Hi all,
The preview release of IGE 1.1.0 is now available in the secure store for Online Premium license holders. Download your copy and try out the new version now!
You can discuss this release on the forum at: https://getsatisfaction.com/irrelon_software/topics/ige_1_1_0_alpha_preview_released
Includes box2d updates and bug fixes along with some new features such as being able to set a physics body as non-gravitic so that gravity does not affect it, as well as setting fixed rotation in the body definition.
Other engine updates are mostly about merging online and offline code bases so that offline versions can benefit from the same release cycle as the online version does. Currently generating the offline version from the online version is a labourious task but with these updates the modules that make the online version can simple be left out and the engine will still run, but in offline mode automatically.
This version also includes:
What ho chaps, joyous day and all that cricket, the prototype license has been re-launched and is now available to download.
That is all.

Hi all,
The Facebook API module has been updated to include the new changes to the Facebook API and you can download the new version from the secure store. Both Online and Offline license versions have been made available.
Special thanks to Chris Smith for providing almost 100% of this fix.

EDIT: ** PLEASE NOTE – The 0.2.6 beta is currently only available for online license holders until the release can be produced for the offline version as well. Sorry to those who are waiting for it… expect a release for the offline version shortly after Dec 21st. Thanks.
Hey folks,
Another bit of exciting news! The offline version of Isogenic Engine is now available for purchase in the store. This version does not require a Node.js server to run so you can deploy it to a standard web-host that can serve standard HTML pages. This version of the engine is specifically designed for users who do not need realtime networking or persistent worlds.
That’s not to say you couldn’t add those features in. If you wanted a persistent world you could easily make some jQuery XHR requests to a PHP script that could record the info in a MySQL database!
The offline version of the engine is priced at £164.99 for hobbyists, students, and indies, and £264.99 for game studios and incorporated / limited companies.
You can see examples of the “offline” version of the engine running:
Hi all,
I’ve created a router in Node.js that will take a domain mapping table and automatically route connections from the domain to the host and port specified by the mapping data.
This allows a single server to run multiple listeners on different ports and route different domain names to those ports.
Consider an example where you have a domain name with all sub-domains pointing to the same IP address via an A record such as *.isogenicengine.com => 50.16.209.235
Whenever we set up a new user account for hosting, our router can allow the user to select a new sub-domain and then we modify our configuration to map the new sub-domain to a Node.js instance that we’ve just fired up on a new port. The router automatically detects the change in configuration and loads the new data into the mapping table without closing any connections or restarting itself.
You can check out the router over at github or clone it: https://github.com/coolbloke1324/node-irrelon-router

Hey all,
I’ve put together a jQuery plugin that allows client-side content translation based upon a phrasebook. This works instantly without having to call server-side code or use Google Translate (where results are variable and can take time to process).
Example page: http://www.isogenicengine.com/jquery-lang-js/
Obviously this is most useful if you know someone who can do the translations perfectly for you! If not you can still use Google Translate and enter the results it gives you. This way your users don’t ever have to wait for translations.
In my app, I save the user’s language so that I can deliver the exact language pack to them rather than making their browser download all of them. It means I can write all my content in English and it automatically changes based upon the user’s default language. Woohoo!
You can get the repo over here: https://github.com/coolbloke1324/jquery-lang-js

Hi folks,
This is a very big update to the engine; the biggest yet in fact. Please check the changelog carefully as there are updates to the engine that WILL break your current game scripts. Bringing your game scripts up to date with this version is pretty easy but you should know what is happening before you update! Read the rest of this entry »
A new patch is available for download to beta testers.
This new bug fixes a large number of reported patches, clears up the networking for entities and makes propagating CRUD actions very simple. Further to this patch, there is a second patch now available that fixes some bugs in the networking clock syncronisation system so that client and server clocks and network latency correctly alter the pathing and engine tick times so that “jumping” when pathing doesn’t occur any more.
The two patch files are called ige_0.1.0_beta-patch-02-05-2011.zip and ige_0.1.0_beta-patch-02-05-2011-2.zip respectively and both should be downloaded and applied over the top of a clean engine installation from the base beta engine archive. A clean database is also recommended!
See the main beta forum for more details.
Thanks
