PlatformerMini v1.0.3 - uwp branch

About

This is my experiment to run Monogame+MonolithEngine UWP app on/in W10M Astoria :) This is my "UWP fork" of some interesting (but archived) small & lightweight 2D video game engine named MonolithEngine.

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)))

Screenshot(s)

Features / My experimentation(s)

• Min. Win. OS Build descreased to 10240 (Astoria Compatibility)
• Not tweaked Monogame 3.8 library used (it reduces project size, but so many UI stranges)
• 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 ;)

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 :)
