			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not sure how many of you remember the previous version of the Game Maker, but for something quite old and legacy, it had some nice features. One of those features was Moving Tiles and I&#8217;m pleased to say that they have made it back into our Game Engine / Level Creator.</p>
<p>The following image give you an idea of what to expect / what to look out for when making a level. Its really easy to do;</p>
<p>1) Click on the Moving Tile icon in your tool bar</p>
<p>2) Select which tile you want to move</p>
<p>3) Select where you want the moving tile to move to</p>
<p>Done! It really couldnt be much easier then that &#8211; unlike the previous game editor we did not have any visual guides to show you where the tile was going to move too. This feature currently can only move one tile at a time but in the future we envisage Moving Tile Sets too. Check it out and lets us know what you think <img src='http://gamemakers.co.nz/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The reason I did the search in the first place is because we want our software to be multilingual, our first efforts are obviously going to be to make sure the software runs in English, and then our goal is to get a Japanese version working. You know we love our Akihabara!</p>
<p>So far the best font site we&#8217;ve found for Japanese fonts is <a href="http://www2.wind.ne.jp/maniackers/designfont.html">Maniackers</a>, mostly because their fonts are TTF which is a good thing.  Maniackers along with a few others are listed below &#8211; hope they help you too.</p>
<p><strong>Fonts found on my Japanese Font Trip to Google</strong></p>

At some point, hopefully in the very near future we&#8217;re going to get to a point where we need to think about fonts for your games. So after doing a small amount of googling, searching for Japanese bitbap fonts of all things I came across a resource, fonts for games. Not wanting to loose this link and not being a big fan of bookmarks (do you know how many cools sites there are out there) I thought the best way to rememeber this link is to share it here on Game Makers. Kai Pai!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some of the sites and tools we use and like that provide us with inspiration.</p>
<p><strong>Flixel</strong></p>
<p><em>A revolution in Flash game production. An amazing new way for man to interface with machine. The beginning of a new tomorrow. Never before has the world witnessed such a collection of AS3 files.We put it all in the new flixel 2. Groups to help organize game objects, quad trees for faster, more accurate collisions, a cleaner API, plus all the old flixel classics: animated sprites, tilemaps, and particle emitters. Most importantly, flixel is still completely free for personal or commercial use. What are you waiting for? It’s time to make games!</em></p>
<p>Flixel is becoming an integral part of our long term plan. Why? Because we don&#8217;t want to recreate the wheel.</p>
<p>The Flixel engine will allow us to focus on creating an amazing tool for building games. It allows us to focus on our creator and the social networking website that will be built around our games. The social network powered by WordPress will tie into our games database so that you will be able to share your games with your friends where they will be able to rate your games, comment on your games, and of course play them on their Android &amp; Symbian devices.</p>
<p>» <a href="http://flixel.org/">http://www.flixel.org</a></p>
<p><strong>Game Maker</strong></p>
<p>These guys do some cool stuff. We&#8217;re taking the best bits and leaving the worst &#8211; nobody wants to have to make something on their desktop. This is the 21st century chaps and we&#8217;re going to be doing what they do but it&#8217;ll all be done here on this website where you get to it all under the one roof.</p>
<p>» <a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/">http://www.yoyogames.com/</a></p>
<p><strong>Akihabara</strong></p>
<p>For me this is the future. More and more of what we see and do is going online, once upon a time you had to make word docs using Microsft work using Microsoft office. But not any more. Similarly, once upon a time you had to make games for the iPhone and iPad using only tools the big evil corporation wanted you to use to make games. But not any more.</p>
<p>Using Akihabara you can make games that run in any modern web browser including those that come with the iPhone and iPad without having to know difficult programming languages. In a future write up <a href="http://matt.might.net/articles/how-to-native-iphone-ipad-apps-in-javascript/">we&#8217;ll tell you how</a>.</p>
<p>» <a href="http://www.kesiev.com/akihabara/">http://www.kesiev.com/akihabara/</a></p>
<p><strong>FontStruct</strong></p>
<p>We love these guys because their tools inspired the design for our level creator.</p>
