  • We did a recent blog post that demonstrated that even years-old mobile devices can safely manage around 10000 sprites on-screen at 60 FPS. So I think C3 will be more than capable of handling an intensive bullet hell game.

  • It works fine for me.

    "Status access violation" means the browser crashed, not Construct. So you'll need to contact the browser maker for support about that. You could also try using a different browser.

  • My main advice is not to invent your own cryptography, because it probably won't be fundamentally secure.

    It depends on what you're doing - don't do this for secret government documents, you will cause a disaster. But if you're happy to merely obscure something so it's difficult to casually view, and it doesn't matter that much if someone puts in a lot of time and effort and cracks it, then some kind of not-really-secure scrambling scheme might be good enough.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • See this thread about posting feature suggestions.

  • Minifying code will obscure it, but obscurity is not security. All the code will be there on the client side and if someone can figure out how to activate it themselves, they will be able to use it to decrypt anything they like.

    Doing it on the server will obscure the code even more (as it's no longer on the client), but once again that is not the same thing as being secure. If it's theoretically possible for the information to be decrypted on the client, it could be reverse engineered or brute forced.

    If you want a truly secure option, you should use existing software designed by security experts. Anything you build yourself is unlikely to be truly secure. I've worked in software since 2007 and I would not trust myself to build something truly secure, as I haven't got expertise in building cryptographically secure systems.

  • I think it's the browser showing that message, not Construct. You might have to load it a different way, perhaps through Cloud Save.

  • A recent update to the Turkish translation has increased the number of errors from 75 in May to 229 in August. The list is available here: dropbox.com/s/kaf2n0bnlia7002/tr-TR-2022-08-23.txt

    They will all need to be corrected before the in-progress translation in the Construct editor is updated again.

    Please do not use machine translation, like Google Translate, when translating Construct 3. It is an inappropriate tool that results in poor quality translations. These translations will then fail later quality reviews and have to be re-done, resulting in wasted effort and taking longer before the translation is ready.

  • Try changing the 'Splash color' in Project Properties. See also Icons & Splash in the manual.

  • If you can, it would be best to allow everything under the construct.net and scirra.com domains, i.e.:

    • *.construct.net
    • *.scirra.com

    Otherwise if you must provide every specific subdomain, then this list should do it:

    • www.construct.net
    • editor.construct.net
    • preview.construct.net
    • downloads.construct.net
    • account.construct.net
    • accountbeta.construct.net
    • stats.construct.net
    • build.construct.net
    • multiplayer.construct.net
    • signalling.construct.net
    • downloads.scirra.com
    • multiplayer.scirra.com

  • It looks like a problem with your graphics driver. Try installing any available software updates or updating the driver if you can.

  • The first thing to do if anything goes wrong is press F12 and check the browser console for any error messages.

  • This is why it's important to try to find a way to reproduce the problem.

    We've already included everything that could be possibly useful in to crash reports, but they can't tell us how to reproduce the problem. That usually involves several steps before the problem occurs.

  • It's not clear to me what you're asking or what you've done in that picture. But maybe you put an opaque layer on top of another layer? In that case it is rendering correctly, but you might want to make that layer transparent and make the bottom layer opaque instead.

  • I'm afraid from just this information it's usually impossible to tell anything about what might be going on. This is why we have the bug report guidelines: we need that information to be able to investigate and solve the problem. Try to find a way to reproduce the problem and file an issue.

  • See Icons & Splash in the manual. Set its purpose to 'Loading logo'.
