Zooming and Rotating camera

Awesome Letmethink!

Impressive. It lags quite a bit but still. All that was achieved with the image API?

It would be nice to see the debug drawing. Also, will enemy actors zoom and position themselves correctly (even offscreen)?

None of it is done using image API now. It should perform exactly the same in every way as a normal project currently.

It runs faster on desktop currently I believe.

I can imagine this being useful for something like this (wasd to control one player and arrow keys for the other):

The actual camera movement is a bit jerky currently but I can probably sort that out.

lol nice game LetMeThink.

This is really neat.  I've been making something similar with the Image API, but I imagine camera zooming is the better route. Would you consider posting this to Stencylforge or letting me look through the code? I'm mostly interested in the camera zooming aspect with single player and co-op.

Did you ever release this? I've been trying to figure out zooming for ages now.

This is pretty awesome. I have been curios if this was possible in stencyl. Now that I see it is, it would be great to get an idea of how this works. I would liek to figure out how to move the camera independently. Could you use a dummy actor like a null object and scale that somehow? Maybe trigger an event that zooms your camera in and out during gameplay?

How are you guys doing this?

I hope we gonna get his zooming code one day

Been seeing a steady increase in requests for the ability to mess with the camera . Is this something that can be put into an extension or implemented into Stencyl?

Also, is there a way to pair this with mobile settings? Specifically Sdieters "Multi Touch" behaviors. Perhaps, a way to pinch the camera in and out ? I'm working on an ios platformer and think a behavior like this could benefit the mobile platform.

Any update on this code? Can we see what it looks like?

I'll be making a pinch to zoom here soon..  i thought someone had a pretty nice zoom code available for download in the forums somewhere

I use the code  " engine.setZoom(variable); "
Remove the quotes and replace the "variable" with the the coding of an attribute or some other number by right clicking and selecting the view code option on the variable you want to use and copy paste the data between the ().
