  Isn't Ashley young? I recall hearing years back while he went by Tigerworks that he was 12 or som,eething

  That would have been around the year 2000 then...

  I quickly added some soft white circle textures to these particle effects (textured particles are supported in the latest build), and they look a lot better! Point-spriting may not work on all video cards though, so let me know if you just see squares as if with texturing off.

  Broke my toe on saturday running down the stairs (think stubbing your toe on a door frame with the kind of force you'd punt a football for a long shot). Doctor today said it was definitely broken, so I have... a bandage. It hurts, and I'll probably have to take time off work, being a cycle trainer

  Sucks!

  Actually, never mind. I think this bug is fixed in the next build. DirectX was complaining about an invalid setting in debug mode - which would have affected auto mirror - and this is corrected now. Next build should have solved that.

  I think the disappearing while facing left is a graphics card dependent bug. Could everyone list their graphics card and whether or not it works?

  I'm on a GeForce 8800GT and it works fine.

  If you continually set a force, the object accelerates, according to F=ma. That's normal - you stop applying a force when you want the object to stop accelerating.

  I didn't want to enforce a fixed limit, but Newton imposes its own world size limit. The limit I came up with was arbitrary. It's a few thousand pixels in each axis at least.

  Fixed for the next build, it was to do with the 'Spawn object' actions, when the object being spawned is in a container with the object spawning it.

  Yeah, there's a fixed world size limit. I think changing the world X/Y scale might increase/decrease the boundary...

  Okay, I think we have it. "Scirra" with the "Sci" as in "Scimitar", and "rra" as in "rah". That's how I pronounce it too. So I was right - which is lucky, because I was the one to think it up

  The num pad can be used to quickly place the hotspot, hit 5 to center. (Likewise 7 puts in top-left, 6 middle of the right edge, etc) (as JayJay just also said, heh)

  Looks like a bug in the event engine. I'll debug it soon.

  Yep. Don't have to resit any exams (although I scraped one module by the skin of my teeth), so it's all good

  I've been planning on making a set of classic games (eg. snake, space invaders...) in Construct for this purpose. I'd probably throw them in as templates. It's a very good idea. Also, if anybody else wanted to make some example games for templates, I'd happily put them in - I plan on having a large collection if possible for the 1.0 release.

  Also, you can find the .cap for the 'Rain demo' here - although I'm not sure if its exactly the same version as on the site. Oh, and the events are a bit of a mess
