    Hope you enjoy these first levels and report any error (including typos) or bug you find while playing. No sound or different languages for the moment, though.

    Thanks.

    Before r100, the game was perfectly fine after being exported with Construct 2' cocoonjs wrapper. After that release, the game starts alright but freezes the smartphone after some time, having to take off the battery to restart it.

  • Ashley

    1) That's exactly what I meant. Thank you very much!

    2) Looking forward to it, it would be a great addition.

    3) I think I was able to do it. Thank you!

    4) The thing is (as far as I know), Ludei hasn't updated their Android Launcher in a while, and so I thought every significant performance change would be related to the building process made with Construct 2. Since that drop appeared after r100 came out, I logically assumed it might be related to that update. Correct me if I'm wrong!

  • Oh, you're right! I've edited my first post to link my explanation towards this post scirra.com/forum/free-form-tiled-backgrounds_topic55786.html

  • More things! Seems like im encountering all the issues in a short period of time!

    Has any change being made to the cocoonjs exporting functionality in this release? Ever before r99, my games used to run perfectly in my S3, but now every little testing app makes my phone, to the extent that I got to take off the battery.

    Thank you all very much, hope Im not disturbing anyone!

  • Sorry to being such a pain in the ass but... could anyone help me?

    I couldn't get myself to add more doubts, it seems abusive, but it would be awesome if anyone could give me some help with these three first.

    Thank you all, in advance!

  • Sorry to pop up with so many (surely stupid) doubts and suggestions, but I thought about reuniting them all together in this subforum, acknowledging that maybe the General one was unappropiate, for comfort and cleanliness. I hope Ashley or Tom will delete all my other posts to avoid spamming.

    First, I exported my Construct 2 game using the appMobi wrapper, paying special attention not to set it with DirectCanvas. The final app works good (really good considering it's running with Android default browser), but I can't get it to display itself on fullscreen. Is there any way to do it? Maybe an option I might toggle?

    Second (as stated in this topic scirra.com/forum/a-naive-idea-i-came-up-with_topic55500.html but clarified here), whenever I open the program to start working, Construct 2 sets the tab view with the layouts first and then all the events sheets. My workflow is better when every Layout has its own Event Sheet at its side, and so changing between the actual scene and the event editor is fast and convenient. As I said, Construct doesn't save the actual disposition of the tabs when it gets closes, and every time I start it I got to drag and arrange the tabs for it to look like this

    <img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/jjlg8h.png" border="0" />

    Would it be possible to make Construct remember not only the tabs that were open when it closed the last time, but also their order?

    Third, as I said in this topic, scirra.com/forum/free-form-tiled-backgrounds_topic55786.html it would be great to have free formed tiled backgrounds. Is there any way to simmulate what I'm intending? As in, tiled backgrounds on top of the others, with alpha channels setting a cool and efficient scenario.

    Thank you all very much, hope this is better!

  • R0J0hound Ashley That's not quite what I'm talking about. At least I couldn't do it with your example :(

    What I'm intending to do (in the game I'm actually working on) is setting a tiled background in Layer 0 that would occupy the whole layout space. This, on finished, will act as the path the player shall walk on to remain safe.

    Then, on Layer 1, I will place all the elements of the game: the player, the weapons, the monsters...

    Finally, on top of that last one, on Layer 2, i would place another tiled background with a free form, set by a polygon shape (with alpha channels filling the clear spaces), that would act, on finished, as areas of high grass where both the player and the monsters will be covered and barely seen, the latter hiding, waiting for the player.

    That way, the scenario would look itself as a labyrinth with a clear path to walk and areas of high grass that would overlap all the scenario elements easily.

    I couldn't do that with your example. Maybe you will be able.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • sqiddster What about webstorage? I don't know how all the wrappers are gonna handle that once we got our native app.

  • I got a silly question to ask: will the new effects be totally usable once we export our project to awesomium, appmobi or cocoonjs? How will all these three exporters handle webstorage (I, for example, use this for save games) variables once we have our native apk, exe and ipa apps?

  • I'm not so sure about this. I was working on my window panel plugin (window frames, borders etc.) and found out that browsers don't support tiling properly. Firefox, for example, didn't respect repeat-x and repeat-y tiling properties, only repeat. This means that there may be issues with tiled backgrounds on different browsers if more specific options like these are added.

    But then again, it has been a while since I worked on that plugin. The situation might be better now.

    As I said, im not sure at all if this is technically possible. Im just sure that it would make a great boost for us at designing our scenarios, not limited to squared tiled backgrounds.

    Lets see what Ashley got to say about the issue!

  • Hello! I don't know if this has been already proposed, i couldn't find anything like this in the forums. Well, i was thinking that it would be great if we could choose the form of the tiled background.

    At the moment, you select the tile, meaning the pattern you want to reproduce, and then, at the layout view, the default squared form can be resized with ease, filling its whole size with the chosen pattern.

    Well, what I was thinking is that maybe we could select the type of form we want the pattern to fill in: squared, circled or free, choosing this way its bounds with edging dots, the same way we set the polygon shape of the sprites in the editor.

    This way, developers would be able to create rich scenarios with flexibility, using tiled background's features to set their layouts with better performance and amazing visual variety.

    As I already said, i don't know if this is possible at the moment, at any moment or anything.

    But, any way, thanks!

  • Waiting for 0plus1's tutorial :)

    Absolutely. Having more options available is always great.

  • ludei

    Is there any deadline for the initial/first availability of your cloud building platform. I know that everyone here and alround you asks the same question, but we will have the R100 of C2 in 22 of august, and it could be fantastic to start the final testing of our ready projects in Android and iOS... :)

    I would love to hear about this too. iOS and Android testing is gonna be awesome.

  • Yes! Thank you all very much. That was really helpful.

    Also, I have edited my first post with another suggestion I would like to see in Construct 2!
