  • There seems to be quite a few topics that posted in within a day, and some of those are pushed back a page. I think it's also nicer to be able to see maybe 3 or so more topics per page on the forums.

  • I'm pretty sure he'll add collapsible/expandable events eventually, as it's an essential feature and was in Construct Classic too.

  • construct.net/en

    ize, angle or opacity of sprites/tiled backgrounds has no effect when hardware acceleration is in use

    So does that mean, the practice of using 2^X sized images no longer matters like it did Construct Classic? For instance using multiple 256x256 sized images rather than a single 400x250 sized image?

  • I think it does maintain the ratio, but also shows additional content horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the browser.

    Ashley said that he will do a Blackbar fullscreen scale that will have black bars instead of showing extra content, so we'll all have to wait for him to do that.

  • I'm just wondering the same thing, wouldn't it be:

    lerp(A,B,0.5*60*dt)

    I usually just do "*60*dt" in an equation if I forgot to add it previously to something. Though the 60 could be exchanged to whatever framerate you're use to seeing.

  • Having infinite doesn't make much sense, being able to set how much you want is fine, also think of the scroll bars!

  • Construct 2 is continuously updated with more features all the time, there never really is a "beta". It still missing a great many features that were in Construct Classic (can't do exe yet either). It is useable though.

  • Construct Classic can't run on many computers, but is powerful.

    Construct 2 can run on most devices and computers, but is slow.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Arima that seems to make more sense to me, though I haven't actually needed to do something like that yet.

  • That link to your blog doesn't work. For anyone that reads this, open the image in a new tab to view the proper size of the image.

    It looks pretty good, although there is a bit of inconsistency with the way the outlines are used which makes it look weird -- some of the outlines are black, and some of them are just a slightly darker colour. Also the grid doesn't look like it has much importance? It looks like its trying to be tiles, but the circles of the island just make it seem like the grid is an overlay on top. Also, that bird looks a bit too colourful for a Seagull!

  • Anyone know if Ashley has said if Containers will be coming back to Construct 2?

  • I'm looking forward to the black bar fullscreen scale too.

  • "Blank" events, effectively have the "System: Every tick" condition in them -- their actions will always run.

  • If you don't understand the question asked earlier (since you didn't respond to it):

    (Does task manager show it using way too much memory?)

    Pres Control + Shift + Escape, then look for Construct's name and check what memory usage number it says.
