The Coldstone game creation tool

While I realize this isn't directly related to EV/EVO/EV3, I though you folks who have the interest and talent to make plugins for EV* might be interested in Coldstone as well. Any kind of role playing-style game can be made with it, not just "fantasy"-type games. Here's some more info.

.....

Coldstone is a role playing game construction kit that offers unprecedented power and ease of use, allowing you to create professional, stand-alone games that are limited only by your imagination. Unhindered by the complex details that Coldstone handles for you, your fantasy world will spring to life as quickly as you can dream it up.

For more info on Coldstone, please read the Coldstone FAQ:

Believe me this is a very cool programme. Artists will finally be able to create their games without having to bury there head in a 3238938 page book entitled Learn C++ in a Way That Will Emotionaly and Physically Drain You :). If your a crappy artist, then who cares! There's gonna be loads of freebies on the Coldstone site. I did a bit of URL digging and found the unfinished site. I've already submitted about 400-500 Character and NPC sprites.

bleh, C++ sucks, learn C, or if you really must use OOP learn Objective C ;). Anyway, in my opinion C is easy, I've never tried C++ much. The only problem you'll face is learning the 5000+ toolbox calls 🙂

Fortunately, the functions are easy to remember, eg,
Boolean WaitNextEvent (EventMask eventMask, EventRecord *theEvent, UInt32 sleep, RgnHandle mouseRgn)
Now, guess what that does?

Nope. Everything is finished, it just isn't polished in terms of the final graphics, and some of the information is subject to change (price, description, etc.). Everything there should work fine -- and I can simply restrict access to it if you guys decide to start spamming it or doing something otherwise silly.
