  • "Hello, I am looking to directly read data from an Excel file, so that every time I make modifications in the Excel, the game can update with the new information. Does anyone know if this is possible without converting the file to CSV or JSON?

    Thank you."

  • It's possible, through JavaScript. There are js libraries that do this out there. I wouldn't be able to help you to use them though.

  • Try Construct 3

  • You can import CSV files into the project, there are addons that can convert them to C3 array. You will need to re-import the file every time it's changed though. Or save your project as a folder, then you can open/save CSV file directly in project folder.

    Another option is to simply copy/paste data from Excel into C3 array editor. This may be the easiest solution.

  • I also copy and paste but would like to figure out a smoother way. I haven't devoted the time yet so the copy and paste works for me at the moment.

    I have imported text files, ran some AJAX and put the data into arrays. I don't know if it is most efficient but it works.

    Here is a sample. It is tedious but may start you on the road to actual .csv / xlsx type files.
