Your C2 tests

Open the capx with a zip archive browser, such as 7zip. .capx is basically a zip file containing project files.

Thanks! Will try that

Made a small tank clone:

Use the WASD keys to move your tank and the mouse to aim and shoot. Bullets can bounce up to three times before disappearing unless they hit something "fragile" on the way

I have some trouble getting good collision detection going. If someone have suggestions I am all ears! Both tank collision and calculating bullet bouncing. Both are really buggy at the moment.

The capx for the interested:

Just wanted to show off one more use for chrisbrobs code (Thank you!).

Quite simple and smooth platform example:

made this quick shooter demo.

i tried 'touch' events, so i'm curious how they perform. anyone with access to an ipad, please let me know. i realize things are not optimized at this point. i'm just having a ball playing with this stuff at this point.

touch controls...

• fire buttons on both sides of the screen. no rapid fire, so you have to 'release' to fire alot
• touching the screen anywhere along the bottom, between the fire buttons, moves the ship in that direction

browser controls...

• fire 'space'
• movement 'left/right' arrows

back to the newb lab...

Works fine but everything moves agonisingly slowly. Was that intended?

Tested on ipad 4.2.1

that may be partly my fault, and partly the browser.

there are no 'speed' definitions in c2 right now. or i am not smart enough to find them, so i'm moving objects by incrementing their x/y values.

if there's a better way, please reprimand me immediately...lol.

iPads (and mobile devices in general) don't seem to have very fast Javascipt or HTML5 canvases yet. The problem is probably partly that you're running on an iPad.

Release 32.2 has a real delta-time, where supported, which should help - if you use dt in your movements, it keeps going at the same speed when the framerate struggles, rather than going in to slow-mo.

here is my first try with construt , just trying to figure out how things work.

right click pick the head , left click drop it and hold down to shoot

thanks ash,

i guess i'll have to learn how to use delta time...lol. is it described in the wiki?

It's described on the 0.x wiki, but note the C2 expression is dt (standing for delta-time) rather than the 0.x timedelta.

Here's my first C2 test. Nothing terribly exciting, got a few bugs. But it's a start

thank you sir.

i'll get right on that. hope i can figure it out.

interesting mvt mechanic. are you using lerp for that?

[quote:zt0ofcbh]interesting mvt mechanic. are you using lerp for that?

No, I've got a waypoint that moves to where you click or touch and the car always turns towards it.

Then I just set it to move forward.

simplicity prevails.

i guess k.i.s.s. (keep it simple stupid) applies to game design as well. i would have entirely over thought how to implement, what you did so simply.

thank you sir...

I am trying to create a simple Breakout game with C2, but i am struggling to work out how to make the ball move in a random direction?

Here's a link to the capx file if anyone can help.
