PlatformerMini v1.1.1 - dev branch

About

This is my experiment to improve Monolith Engine via my experimental PlatformMini UWP app for W10M Astoria :)

Tech details

• Target: Windows UWP (some mobile ui elements present for "touch ui").
• Monolith Engine tweaked (it incapsulated into Engine folder).
• Game tweaked a little too (it incapsulated into Game folder because of monolith structure)))
• Special Microsoft VisualStudio 2022 Preview + Codieum AI used ;)
• My special tweaked, W10M Astoria-friendly Monogame2D "meta-library" connected!

Features / My experimentation(s)

• Min. Win. OS Build descreased to 10240 (Astoria Compatibility)
• My tweaked Monogame library used (it veery inflate project codebase, but gives some UI improvements)
• On Lumia 950, app starts; On Lumia 640 it no operable without PC connected/debug mode :( On Lumia 640 "Astoria" project deployable but app no operable (failed on start)
• Design folder added (use it via LDtk level editor)
• Level 3 (Draft) added for my better game mechanics exploring ;)
• AI only created GameWorld "template" with Load / Save methods at now :)
• When I connected tweaked Monogame, no problem with RenderTarget2D (width > 4000) :)

I hope you will enjoy it, and I'm very happy to receive any feedback as it's an important part of learning.

Known bugs

• If you decide to use PC Mode You may notice some game screen distortions. The problem that is IsMobile function always returns true... It must be fixed manually: replace true on false... and tweak SCALE_X and SCALE_Y to your own better values...
• No game scene scaling on sersor screen. TouchPanelSwipe not coded yet.
• Level 3 (in Level select menu) has incorrected xbf files (copy of level2)
• Low gravity (Hyper-jumping). This is powered on only for game process debug symplify :)
• On W10M Astoria, this app still not operable... so strange (too huge resources? some kbd/touchpanel handling errors??)
