Recent Changes:

• Added Graphics.window_size_factor alias resize_window that lets you stretch the game window without changing the game's screen resolution.
  
• Fixed Window#dispose bug that prevented the engine from reporting any issues either by creating a log file or by displaying the error splash screen.
  
• Fixed Input.repeat? almost completely. Some keys like ALT, CTRL & SHIFT don't work as of yet.
  

Graphics.window_size_factor accepts 2 arguments: Scaling Factor (1 or 2) and Centered (a boolean aka true or false)

Graphics.resize_window(2, true)

You might not notice any important changes on screen if your current  screen resolution is low.

Version 1.1.94 Has Been Released!

Available Platforms

• Linux
  
• Windows
  

Recent Changes:

Added support for gamepad alert mechanisms by keeping track of its most recent connection or disconnection.

Input module's new methods:

• joystick? or gamepad?
  
• joystick_updates or gamepad_updates
  
• joystick_update or gamepad_update
  

The first call lets you know whether there is any gamepad currently available.
There is only 1 small difference between the second and third call, namely the latter will clear the array after popping the most recent connection or disconnection if any.

How to check if there has been a game connection or disconnection?

Inside a scene's update method you could add something like this:

Code:

alias :your_update_alias :update
  def update
    your_update_alias
    if Input.gamepad_updates.any?
      print Input.gamepad_update
    end
  end

To adapt that code to RMVX ACE, you'd just replace print with msgbox or even puts if you're using the console window.
This way you could make sure that you will get an alert, namely a popup window, telling you either that you :add or :remove 'd a gamepad or nil meaning that nothing has changed ever since the last update.

To find out if there is a gamepad plugged in right now just call:

Code:

print Input.gamepad?

And it will return a boolean value, either true or false.
