    left and right click for a firecracker, holding LMB gives some fun effects

  • can somebody suggest some beginner books or articles on procedural generation?

    lately i was very much intrigued by this concept and wanted to try this in construct, read about two different algorithms(one by chevy-ray and another one midpoint displacement) but couldn't apply them properly.

    Any help?

    edit: i think I posted this in the wrong section, can any mod please move this thread to open topic

  • eh...looks like irbis and newt are best buddies

    but still i'll go with irbis on this, he was just trying to post some resources for others help. It's for those who can't model nor have the patience to learn it, just like game making programs, it's for those who can't learn programming but are good at logic and stuff.

    — nice list, although i won't to be trying anything but still it would be helpful for others.

  • [quote:3qjr1g3b] used paypal to buy it... Or do you mean that you don't have a paypal account?

    Anyway... raise your hand if you've accidentally burned down your house

    i don't have a paypal account(under 18). Nor anybody in my family and friends have it mostly because it's not the most popular thing in India.

    I could pirate it, but pirating an indie game doesn't feel right. But it's kind of interesting to note that notch actually doesn't oppose piracy completely

  • no paypal =no mincraft

  • nobody is trying to flame/troll you, they are just trying to tell you that right now it is NOT possible to use large images at backgrounds and they are also telling the different methods/workarounds you can use to achieve that effect/whatever that is. But you are just ignoring their advice and saying that you want to use a big image in construct, if it is not possible how you can do it.

    No doubt that construct devs are bright minds but they are not superhumans, they are working on construct as a hobby project. Whine/request about new features when construct goes commercial they'll be working on it full time.

    Go back and read the thread again and use your mind how you can implement the ideas others have suggested. If you can't find a way then just increase the minimum specs required to play your game.

  • blind1992: uhmmm sorry, I couldn't complete the second part of the tutorial because of lack of time( and my laziness). I barely get some time to mess with Construct nowadays.

    I was going to post the completed source code but since you've implemented nearly all the features, I don't think I need to, but still if you want you can download it here

  • 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.

  • use apppath & "filename.extension"

    example

    Edit: oh, and the cap/exe and the file must be in the same folder

  • arrgh! linux hates me!

    Mint also couldn't get installed.The system hung up after the first reboot on the desktop with just a green background and cursor.

  • removed ubuntu, couldn't find any help. Maybe i am just too retarded for linux but still i am going to another try and install mint, since the installation is pretty simple.

  • well, maybe my keyboard(num lock and caps lock won't work) and mouse are freezing just after the login screen appears, but both respond for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. Tried to search on google but couldn't find anything on this

  • does anyone here uses ubuntu? an hour ago I installed ubuntu 10.10 using wubi installer, the installation was smooth but after the second reboot on the login screen, the system hangs up after 3-4 seconds there is no keyboard or mouse input. I googled for it but i couldn't understand a thing, since I'm totally new to linux.(just wanted to try it)

    any help?

    also I noticed on Wine HQ that construct was listed in running applications. Can ubuntu really run construct?

  • [quote:7z46xb93]i mean, come on - in half a year i could just learn C++.

    lol, are you kidding? making a game(that too a complex one) using C++ in 6 months. That's not possible unless you giveup your day's job and night's sleep. In 6 months, you'll basically just get down with the basics of C++. I am learning C++ for over an year in school and all I've learnt is working with the CUI(only text, no graphics)

    Half an year time is the average time it'll take to learn any engine, be it unity, construct or game maker unless you are realllllly passionate about your game. Although i know that construct would be your best choice if you want to start quick. Just try it for an week or two and then decide whether you should use it or not. Other's opinions about how easy a game engine can really be biased since everybody took different amount of time to learn it. So at last, it's you who would decide how eay an engine is.

    PS It's called 'construct' not 'constructor'
