F.A.Q.

PaC-DK does not start or all graphics look f$%§ed up?

If you tried all different API modes and it still does not run properly there is not much you can do. This should only happen on at least 10 year old hardware. In some cases it may help to update your drivers. If not you can try an older version of PaC-DK.

My charactergraphics have thin lines at the borders?

When you enlarge a character (over 150%) you might see some unwanted lines at the borders of the graphics. This can be prevented by leaving a 1 pixel width space around your graphics. This also applies to item and mousegraphics if these are smaller than they appear in the game.

How do i create transparent images?

Basic knowledge of image processing is neccessary. For images with transparent areas you need the PNG file format. JPGs do not have transparency. It depends on the tool you are using, google should have plenty of tutorials on that topic.

Will there be ports of the game engine?

Maybe. But i cannot promise anything. Porting code to other systems is new to me but i will give it a try.

Am I allowed to sell a game i made with PaC-DK?

Yes and No. I allow it and do not want any licence fees. However PaC-DK uses components that are not free for commercial use and need to be licensed. Read more in the section "Commercial Use".

Can you upload my game to your homepage for download?

Yes, at least if your game meets some basic requirements. Which only means that i will not host any worthless trash someone made in 2 hours.

I have an idea for future updates. Would you like to hear it?

Sure. Go to the message boards and post your idea there.
