  • The centre dot went outside the ring, which made the whole thing go a bit crazy. I had to put it down.

  • You mean like this?

    I made it ages ago. It's kind of fragile if you mess with it with the mouse, but it's pretty stable as long as it's just interacting with the environment.

    I tried to move my blob and it died

  • Thought this was a fascinating read, and a good reference for building your own AI systems:

  • > You are correct. It does not resize the canvas. It appears to resize the contents of the canvas instead.

    >

    I reported a bug for the new canvas resize function as it wasn't picked up from my posts in reply to the last version before this time, hopefully it will get noticed this time

    If you could use the tracker, it would probably help the devs out a lot.

  • I was in year 4, and my friends and I had a running joke about a parody of the matrix - at one point we came up with all the characters being cows. Thus, the Cowtrix. Stupidest origin of a nickname ever? I think so.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • cow_trix is my steam username. w00t w00t.

  • The one thing that makes this really hard to use is there's no visual cues for distance. Would it be hard to make the character get smaller as he goes further away?

  • more importantly... how did you find that?!

    I am the all-knowing genie of the internet.

    Why does this go here?

  • Why is there always a thread where someone feels strangely 'entitled' to a feature? They seem to get angry because they are denied. ME9876543, please, this is an open source project. Before 1.0 and even for some time afterwards there's no point in documentation, the program contains artifacts, and you can't always do what you want. Its the small price you have to pay to use the fantastic program that is Construct.

    If you want it that bad, download the SDK and do it yourself.

  • It starts up fine, and with the latest build I haven't had any crashes.

    6) A plugin for the GameJolt achievements system? I don't have the expertise, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard. I don't know if you could do it with events, but I'd be glad for someone to prove me wrong.

    EDIT: Don't worry, CROS already took care of this. Thanks CROS.

  • Well it got my brain ticking. I think I ended up with a score of about -2000 Well that's what you get for doing all your maths on a calculator for 3 years. It's actually pretty difficult on Ultra Hard when you have to keep track of multiple flies. You have to solve the problem, and then time it to when the frog needs to jump, ignoring the natural instinct to focus on the fly at the very front.

  • Player crosses coordinates 500,500, toward sector B2, the game engine shifts coordinates; Sector B2 becomes 0,0, while Sector A1 becomes -1000,-1000 and the player is teleported. May notice a slight stutter during teleport.

    Did something like this for Mineoba (on GJ)

    Wouldn't do it again. Sure, its simple, but I had to have the stretches of nothingness.

  • Been working on something like this. Haven't got a decent example yet. Will post when I do.

  • 5) Would a thumbdrive, stand alone version be doable? I can run Construct off a thumbdrive but it's not incredibly stable. And of course it doesn't run on computers without the August 2008 DirectX update... Don't suppose there's any way around that?
