We are Mobile

The next release of PlumeriaSC 4 has gotten a huge upgrade and we are ready to share it with you. The first game to get this upgrade is the Donut Pong game. It now features a mobile ready interface that can be played on desktop computers and mobile devices. Mobile users rejoice and enjoy!

PSC 4.6 is Done

It's been a while since my last post. Plumeria Smart Creator 4.6 now features box, sphere, and infinite plane planets. The physics engine is now designed to support new features that will be added in future releases. Also I have been testing features that have not been used recently in my games making this version the most stable and complete build yet.

Galactic Space Junk 3 is Here!

Galactic Space Junk 3 is finally finished. Galactic Space Junk 3 uses a new physics engine that is designed to handle planet physics. The physics engine uses signed distance fields which can use all kinds of geometry primitives to build different planets.

2 Trillion

Yep you read the title correctly. A little while back I posted companies spent 1 trillion dollars in 2016 on errors and bugs in their code. There is a new study that found companies in 2020 spent over 2 trillion dollars on bugs and errors*. Tools like PlumeriaSC that eliminate errors and bugs in code are needed now more than ever. Also in my 3D graphics research I found a great raytracing book series called Ray Tracing in One Weekend**. I think PlumeriaSC would do well to borrow features from raytracing since it is just starting to be rolled out for both CAD and 3D Modeling tools. I am still working on this idea but I think this might be the future of 3D graphics.

4.5.1 is finally here!

Plumeria Smart Creator 4.5.1 is ready for purchase. New to this version are built-in interactive tutorials that will help you to learn essential programming skills like Object Oriented programming, Physics, and Motion time stops. Also we have a new pricing table. You can purchase PlumeriaSC 4 for a one time download or you can purchase an extended download service which gives you free download updates for a year! To learn more about all of the perks of our extended download service check out the PlumeriaSC page on our website.

New For Spring [Update]

Plumeria Smart Creator is now on version 4.4.1 . The new update fixes several linking bugs that were not fixed in 4.4.0. Since it is spring I thought I should share my experience with some new accessories I bought for my computer (Note that I am not being paid in any way). As one person put it I was using the smallest keyboard ever. After searching on staples.com I found a company that makes really nice ones for half the price. The company is called Matias (https://www.matias.ca/products/) they offer wired, bluetooth, backlit, keyboards for PC and Mac. Some of the keyboards come with extra USB A ports but I highly recommend not using them. The reason is the ports are too small and it takes a lot of force to pry out anything attached to them. The one nice thing is that the keyboards come with a USB C converter so if you have a newer computer it should plug right in too. 

[Update] I have noticed that my Matias keyboard does not register one the keys if I press the spacebar, left arrow, and up arrow keys. Because of this I only recommend buying Macally keyboards on Amazon. Macally has been around since the first iMacs and they get better reviews than the Matias Keyboards on Amazon. Also I noticed that there are a lot of other complaints people have about the keyboards that was not aware of.

PlumeriaSC 4.4 with Lower Price

To help those who would like to learn programming we have lowered the price of PlumeriaSC 4. You can see the new price change on our "Purchase Now" product page. Also for the first time the project code for the newly released Robot Game is included in the PlumeriaSC 4.4 download. Finally we are releasing the first video lesson for free on YouTube so you can see the curriculum before you buy. Check out the new video and see if you get inspired to stop coding and start creating!
