  • I'll try to get going on some starting tonight. Maybe a health bar one to start off :).

  • Well with Construct 2 getting so popular, we are starting to see a lot requests for tutorials on beginner stuff like "How to make a health bar?" I enjoy doing video tutorials when I have time, so I thought it might be nice to have a place for people to can put in a request for a video tutorial about something they are not really understanding.

    I'm not looking to do tutorials for overly complex items right now, but more to help the beginners out. I know I learn much better watching a video where someone is talking and explaining.

    I'm no Construct pro, but I feel like I have the basics down enough to help out. You can either reply here with a request or shoot me a PM and I will add it here so people don't request the same thing twice.

  • Yeah, awesome idea man. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing :). Not sure how confident on my skills to try and do something live though, kudos!

  • I can get it to work, but not with the "Scrolling" effect yet. Basically you can just create hidden walls between each "Tile". Then when the player collides with the wall, it System->Scroll To a point on the center of next Tile.

    Does that make sense?

  • I know what you are asking for, basically just like the Legend of Zelda on the NES. Where when you touch the edge of the screen, you "scroll" to the next screen.

    Are you wanting each screen to be a separate layout?

  • WaterlooErik Tested out the BAR you linked and I get the same issue. So it must be the vmware simulator. Hopefully it gets updated soon, it's the only way I have to test bb10 :).

  • WaterlooErik That's great news, maybe I can shoot you a bar of one of the games I submitted with webgl on and see if they work for you. I using the vmware simulator to test the games with, fyi.

    I will test out the bar you posted and see if it works. If it doesn't, it must be the simulator. If so, is there a way to get that updated?

    My GUI app is about done, just need to add one more thing.

  • Did you import the file into Construct as music or sound? I believe music is only ogg, where as sound effects construct creates ogg, m4a and wav.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Found someone. If it doesn't work out, I'll reopen up this. Thanks to everyone that messaged me.

  • Glad I could help. I'm really impressed with the converting to BB10 from construct. In fact I'm writing up a GUI to go through the entire process (without he need to remember all that command line) for the future. That way I can just plug in the info like title, version, and click GO.

    I am curious though, none of my games seemed to have sound in the simulator. Is that a simulator thing, or is sound currently not working in the conversion?

  • Yeah, my son is a huge as well. Good luck!

  • I think you need to get outside people to play it a bit. You have been working and playing this game for a while. What might seem easy to you, might be because of the fact that you know the game inside and out :).

    Here ya go. CAPX, plus the compiled BAR with and without webGL enabled.

    http://www.arcadeinabox.com/bbtest.zip

    2 Behaviors: Destroy outside of layout and bullet are used.

    2 Sprites made within construct 2 (squares)

    Touch Object used.

    I believe the capx has webgl turned on when I saved it.

  • Thanks WaterlooErik

    How I found it was webGL was just making a basic app (A square sprite made in construct fires smaller square sprites by tapping the screen). Turn webgl on, nothing. Turn it off, it worked.

    I could recreate the capx in a few minutes if you want me too.
