How do I export a C2 game to an autonomous application ?

Hello everyone,

I intend to create a big real-time RPG (work in progress), and then market it (on Steam, on a self-made website, etc...)

That's why I would like to know if there is a way to convert a construct 2 game to an autonomous application, with the 5 following features :

- the game must run in an independant window (not in a browser)

- there is an installer for the game (or the game can be installed via Steam)

- the savegames musn't be associated with a specific browser, but stored on disk in a specific place (for example C:Games\TheGameName\)

- the savegames musn't be erased when a program such as CCleaner is used (for the moment when I test a game in Firefox for example, if I use CCleaner, all my savegames are erased)

- there is an uninstaller for the game, wich can erase savegames when the game is uninstalled

I hope I have made myself clear, English is not my mother tongue.

Thank you in advance for your help

You can export to .exe with nwjs..

Tutorial

and use node object to save and read data on local drive

Thanks LittleStain and MadSpy, it seems that I missed this tutorial. This will help me a lot !

Hum... now I have some issues with savegames using node object :

I manage to write "Test" in a file using the following action :

-> Write "Test" to file NWjs.UserFolder & "Slot1.save"

but i can't save in a subfolder

I tried

-> Write "Test" to file NWjs.UserFolder & "\MyGame\Slot1.save"

and

-> Write "Test" to file NWjs.UserFolder & "MyGame\Slot1.save"

but it doesn't work...

Also, how should I proceed to save the state of the game to a save slot (just like the "save" system action) in the file I choosed ?

I'm new to this and it's a bit confusing, but I would like to do it in the cleanest possible way

Well, I figured it out by myself after numerous fruitless attempts.

I am writing a tutorial about it, I'll post the link here when it is approved.

I'm not sure about how the approval system works, but it seems you can already access my tutorial, I hope it will help you !
