  • Like a googleChrome book I have no interest in getting because none of my software would work on it so even though it might be good but they should have some way of running windows based software.

    Chromebooks isn't a full PC. Basically, all it was designed to do is web browsing, and a few simple word docs. Chrome really does fail here.

  • There's a better chance of winning lotto without buying a ticket than for this to happen.

    The multiplayer aspects will cost Scirra running expenses, which have to be paid for somehow (this before we even consider opportunity cost - ie: de-facto wages).

    Overall, it's not a bad package we get here. Expecting everything for free simply isn't feasible, unless of course you wish to vote for the reintroduction of slave labour whilst you're here.

  • So much for all that ranting i've been hearing on these forums about performance not being good enough, maybe stop testing on a 5-year old phone and buy a newer one, my tablet was $288 at Officeworks brand new.

    Don't you think this is a little obnoxious?

    Just why should people throw out perfectly working phones every year or so, just to make you happy?

  • Win8 is an attempted hybrid. You might like it on your mobile, but probably 95-98% of those who've used it on PCs hate it..., no actually loath it. Win8 is providing the perfect environment for another major player to come in and challenge MS's operating system for PC.

    Why doesn't Microsoft support the gaming side?

    Why doesn't Microsoft properly support PC machines with their OS? Why are they attempting to make PCs into oversized mobiles? Why aren't they listening to the consumers who don't want this?

    Why? Because Microsoft is dominant, and knows best, and you have to get into line with what Microsoft wants. Mircosoft is Macrohard, and their eardrums are granite. This is why.

  • I think there's a simple capx example in your C2 examples folder. Click on start page whilst in the C2 program, and browse examples. It should be there.

  • My computer doesn't like the chilli cookies on offer. Could you make them chocolate please. And a gluten free one for me

    (In boring language) Same as Dutoit & jayderyu here.

  • Never mind the unethical bit, 99% of these are the next best thing to cons, out there to fleece a few quick dollars off the naive. The chances of making your paid 'reviews' back in most cases are virtually zero.

    There's a golden rule. If they need to send spam mail to advertise their existence, then their service isn't going to be any good.

  • That's only state law. Federal laws may be different depending of where the transaction officially takes place. I personally think it's theft for the US government to demand tax from everybody using Amazon, or banking, or any service with a US presence, but that money is often automatically stolen from you, despite you being Australian, British, German, etc.

  • No. The website was modified, at around the last time somebody found her. Although, why anybody would seek a girl so high maintenance..., but I'm digressing.

  • Plugins put into the common forum is generally classified as freeware, with free modifications rights, even for commercial applications.

  • Come now, it's not fair to take a half sentence and twist their meanings people.

  • But how will people lavish me with personal praise and throw bouquets of flowers at my feet?

    Nice sarcasm

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a compliment centre in the real world, where happy customers could say what a great job you do; instead of the complaints centre, where people somehow think it's your fault they had to stop at a red light that morning or their kids ran out of their favourite breakfast cereal.

  • Character Progression System (aka leveling up, learning new abilities as you level up, etc)

    That's very easy, just set up an instance variable called "Level", and an event for when you level up.

    Battle System (most likely a twist on the above menu system) (battle menu system to use specific abilities in a turn based format against enemies. Include enemies AI as far as attacking your characters. Perhaps some specific method of attack for boss enemies that is a little harder, and also include specific cool abilities for more rare enemies.

    Once you understand the basics of combat mechanism, the rest of this is fillers.

    Trouble is, nobody seems to want to say how the basics of combat works, either turn based, or melee; no tutorials, nor simple capx. This basic unhelpfulness is a bit frustrating.

  • AlexandrTheGreat: As I understand things, you could put all enemies into a family, and have instance values (?) for the entire family. And then set up a random probability on which type of enemy you get, and maybe a add/minus event value on an individual enemy's instance value on creation.

  • Perhaps as more of us look into it, we could pool our findings to create some uniform code that others could have to form a good foundation for such a game. With the ability to change the code as they see fit, it would provide a nice starting point.

    This would be cool, because there doesn't seem to be any good tutorials or guides on turn based combat, or melee combat for this (or none which I've found).
