  • I just ran into this same issue. Just a black screen when I try to test/play the game.

  • OHHHHH!. Thanks for clearing that up.

  • Ashley, this is the manifest generated by Construct. So construct is generating it wrong?

  • This was an issue in r99, hoping it would be fixed in 100. I export to Chrome Web Store. When I go to upload my game, I get:

    An error occurred: Invalid version format in manifest.

    Any idea when this might get fixed? Or is it already and I am doing something wrong?

    Here is a copy of the manifest that was generated.

    {

         "name": "Kaplow",

         "description": "Catch the bombs before they go KAPLOW!",

         "version": "1.02",

         "manifest_version": 2,

         "app": {

              "launch": {

                   "local_path": "index.html"

              }

         },

         "icons": {

              "16": "icon_16.png",

              "128": "icon_128.png"

         },

         "permissions": [           "unlimitedStorage"      ],

         "offline_enabled": true

    }

  • You would need to post the CAPX file on a webserver or dropbox. You linked to a file on your hard drive.

  • Have a global variable for Timer and ButtonCount

    Every Tick at dt to Timer. This will create a timer

    Every time A is pressed, add 1 to ButtonCount.

    If ButtonCount >= 5 and Timer <= 5 then

    Spawn special attack

    Of course the number 5 can be changed. With this example, A has to be hit 5 times before the timer reaches 5 seconds.

    You will need to make the timer reset each time the button is pressed as well so you know if they hit A in the allotted time.   Play around with it. I'm sure you will get it :).

  • You can use JING, but you can't directly upload them to youtube. You have to upload them the JING service or import them into a program like premiere and then export in a format that works with youtube.

  • Ok, thanks Ashley.

    0plus1, I do own a valid C2 license. Thanks.

  • Does anyone know how to remove the FULL INTERNET ACCESS permission from my game? In construct I am not using any plugins/object that require an internet connection, yet the game is still requiring Internet access for a permission.

    Word Search for Kids

    You can see what I mean if you click on the permissions tab.

    Maybe this is a phonegap issue instead?

  • Couple of days maybe.

  • It took mine 5 or 6 days to show up. Apparently its done manually by someone so it takes some time.

    However, I have 2 games over the 200 mark and I have made 28 cents. WOO HOO :). I am using their API for high scores, but it hasn't adjusted my percentage. They say that can take even longer. Good Luck.

  • Thanks Everyone

  • OK, so I have searched around I can't really find a concrete answer so what is the best way to deal with a large layout. Mine currently is 6000x6000.

    Right now I am using 256x256 tiles to lay the entire background. These consist of about 8 different sprites right now.

    Is it better to use less, 512x512 tiles?

    One large image (png/jpg)

    A tiled 256x256 image, then placing my other sprites as needed to fill in the background?

    Thanks.
