Nice work! Added a link to the wiki. Looking forward to seeing the completed series.

Very nice, thank you.

Very cool sir!

Thanks for being a help to the community

Well it is really very nice as well as attractive too. The color combination which you have used is that type that attracts every people to watch it atleast once. And I have download it after watching this post. I really like it too much.

i'm glad that people are are liking this tutorial, i have started the second part of the tutorial but it may take a while to complete since time is currently a luxury for me(slogging more than 10+ hours each day with schoolbooks )

Being new to Construct!

It's good to see there are people out there giving well documented tutorials !!

I just got to say I LOVE Construct!! - After spending a few months with MMF2(sorry for the bad language!!(MMF2))

And find Construct to be much better...

Anyway Keep up the good work!

Look forward to the other parts of the tutorial...

Nice work mate! The tutorial is not long but very informative. Just what beginners need imo.

I don't think i'll be completing this tutorial very soon so here's the completed source-

has starfield, enemy shoots at you( i am embarrassed to the word AI for this ) and some extra things that I don't remember.

Added next part!

You were right about not completing it soon It's always hard to return to something. After 1 year pause, you've come back, amazing.

3rd part added! :)

Ohhh, I got to take a look at these. Thanks!!

Heya Abhilash - how hard would it be to convert this into an space invaders kinda game with a fixed background? I'm totally inexperienced in construct and have a minimal scripting background, but I'm tempted to take on construct2 if I can hammer out a small space invaders re-imagination if it's feasible.

robocognito:

Even though making a space invaders clone won't be too hard, I don't think this example would have any similarity to it except the movement of the player ship. I'll try make an example this coming weekend.
