  Eep, messed up my maths somewhere in 3D box. I'll see what I can do about it.

  Makes sense knowing how Construct is wired up behind-the-scenes, file a bug on the tracker if you haven't already and I'll take a look some time...

  Yeah, thanks for posting tutorials and info, we need more docs in general, especially on the Wiki.

  Also, it's probably not worth the effort worrying about what votes you get. For example, we got lots of 1 votes for Construct on various download sites. It happens. Welcome to the internet. If someone can, they will

  Oh, you mean a checkbox. The problem with your events is that they both run at the same time! The first event runs, which makes the second event true, so it runs afterwards and sets it back to the original state. You need to use a third state and specifically ordered events, like so:

  + Mouse clicked

  + Value is 1

  : Set value to 2

  + Mouse clicked

  + Value is 0

  : Set value to 1

  + Value is 2

  : Set value to 0

  There's no way to do this yet, but I'll see if I can add one for the next build.

  I think there's a file save bug in 0.93. Are you using Vista? I'll try and have it sorted out for 0.94.

  Try the Selection Box movement? Add it under 'Behaviours'.

  Spread values are kind of obselete in Construct because you only would use them to fastloop through each instance of an object, and 'For Each' in the system object does this much more easily. If you make the condition 'For Each Sprite', the conditions beneath it and the event actions and subevents are repeated once for each instance of Sprite, each time with just the current Sprite instance picked.

  Firstly, I don't think we have any substantial finished games made with Construct yet, but hopefully we will see some in the near future.

  This thread seems to imply there is some kind of power struggle between MMF and Construct. To me, there isn't, not in the market sense (Construct is free so is not competing for sales), nor in who can get most users, biggest community etc. I'm just here to write software in my spare time, and I reckon all these problems will be taken care of by the simple fact Construct is good If it's genuinely useful, free and powerful, people will end up using it and having communities anyway. Still, I get a kick out of knowing lots of people are/would be using Construct, so I guess it does form part of the reason I do all this, heh.

  At the end of the day, I don't care about Clickteam, what happens to them, or how their products compare to ours. I'm only interested in how good I can make Construct.
