Computer Simulation Template version 3!!!


Version 3 of Computer Simulation Template is out!

I asked what you wanted, and now you've got it! I'm really happy with this new version! The video tutorial is taking a bit longer than I first imagined, but it's coming. I recorded the first one before becoming a parent, and what do you know, turns out it's not easy to find the time to record my voice and editing video now. But, I have written a guide! You can find documentation here!

What's new?

A shader and a calculator! Now, there are software included, to help you design your own programs! There's also a easy to use CRT shader to mimic a retro monitor. 


You can adjust it with settings, to make it suit your needs. There's also a few more settings you can play with, such as text boxes, text colors and a frame counter. Nice!



But the thing I'm most happy with, is this:



I've simplified this template by a lot! In previous versions, you had to go into huge scripts to add your some of your own code whenever you create a new folder. Now, this is all you have to do. One spot. Two simple arrays. That's it. One array to create the icons within the folder, and one array that keeps track of the first array and which window it's connected to.

It took me WEEKS to get this to work, but it's finally done. It's so easy to use that I believe anyone can use this. Even as a first project. 

Please check out the documentation to see how everything works!


Let me know what you think below, and what you wish to see in the video tutorial!

This update is working really well, and I like the default look. The scroll bars are great too. Thank you! 

Bought this today, I try importing and dragging into gamemaker and I'm getting an error. It says Error importing package. And in the output window:


Cannot load project or resource because loading failed with the following errors:

~~~ General errors ~~~

Cannot find function to change GMAudioGroup version from v1 to v0.

Cannot convert project

ProjectTool Failed


Any ideas, so I don't feel like I've wasted my money?

Hey! I’ll make sure to help you out.

It seems like you’re on an old version of Gamemaker that doesn’t support GMAudioGroup v1, and that the template tries to convert it to v0. I can downgrade my runtime and export a file that works, if you don’t want to upgrade. What version of Gamemaker are you using?

hey thanks for the reply! I’m confused as to why it’s not working as I’m using the same runtime as specified in the description. I managed to get it working by going to tools>project tool and manually converting it there. Thanks for the great resource.

Great that you got it working! I’ll make sure to add that instruction in the description
