Construct Game Development Beginner�s Guide

Thanks for the heads-up! I got the Node Cookbook, too. ?34 worth for only ?6 !

Ah thanks crowtongue, I hadn't seen that <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Picked up a copy recently, valuable resource for a beginner such as myself. I feel I have a much firmer handle on the basics behind using event sheets and the simple act of navigating the interface. Now I just need a better grasp of graphic art and how to transfer said art into Construct without pixelating it beyond all recognition ;)

TheDragonfly, Thanks! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Looking forward to seeing the games you produce <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

As for transferring art, Paint.Net is a great free tool but as long as your program exports to PNG's with transparent backgrounds you can then import images with transparent colors into Construct.

For solid colors, you can also copy images from MS Paint as long as the background is RGB color (255,0,255) which is a bright pink instead of white (as this is what Construct Classic uses for backgrounds).

I was making a collection of my games and examples source codes for new CC users and figured it'd be helpful to share them all in one spot here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4714446/Jayjays%20Examples.zip

Hope it helps!
