  • jayderyu - I might look into that - we use drop box but as single file only.

    I too wish I had mates to work with :) While these are nice people they need to be paid also.

  • Thanks Ashley,

    I will look into source control. I hadn't tried previously because I was worried that it would lead to confusion when new layouts etc are added. Hence a simpler merge ability seemed like a good initial step.

  • Hi C2 team,

    I have been using C2 for a while now. The game we are working on is requires the skills of three different people. All three are required for programming. Luckily our main developer is living France (so he works while we are asleep in New Zealand) and he makes the graphics and does the initial set up. However, here in the office we have two people working on the same project, or would have if they could both develop at the same time.

    C2 is completely terrible when it comes to collaborative team development.

    My question are there any plans of improving C2 so that it is easier for a team to work.

    One major improvement would be to be able to merge a layout and event sheet into another version of the program.

    Another huge improvement would be a decent search function.

    At the moment search is too basic. For example, if I am searching for a function "myFunction" and that function is not in the current event sheet then I have no way for finding it except by opening all event sheets and checking.

    When you do a search can it please highlight the search term in the text? for example if I search for "WhichOne" it might bring up a hugh amount of code as entire blocks of code are displayed. It would be great if every instance of "WhichOne" is highlighted.

    I have a long list of other items, some of which I have noticed other people already talking about like cleaning up unused icons. Analysing code to check if variables/instance variables are ever used or functions ever called or defined etc

    I understand that you are a small development team and the work you produce is seriously good however, I think instead of pushing on for more new features there should also be times to sit back and improve the usability.

    I tried opening your link on firefox and I get a load sequence (HTML 5 icon)and then a black screen. Same result when using chrome.

  • Just to add to this. My colleague had the Aw Snap occurring on his chrome. Turns out that some Dell machines unload the audio drivers when there is no speaker attached. Plug a speaker cable in and it is solved.

    Go figure.

  • I think we have finally got it working correctly. We changed the mime type and in chrome I had to delete a fair amount of browsing history and cache etc. Then it seemed to come right. We are on hostgator and the mime type can be set in control panel and then apache restarted.

  • This is also giving me a huge amount of grief. Starting an incognito tab seems to help. I have installed a chache clearing utility but that doesn't help in normal chrome tabs. At the moment my only workaround is to use firefox.

    No matter what I try I cannot get chrome to display the updated app (this is a desktgop version of chrome). On my Samsung s3 chrome is just as bad.

  • Nice behaviours. Thanks for sharing.

  • Nice.

    A few things jump to mind:

    1. the letter font is all capitals - the words suggest early readers who generally use lower case only. Also a school friendly font would also be useful.

    2. the words and picture combinations would need to be quite clear. Generally you are restricted to concrete words only. i.e., easy to do "dog" not so easy to do "sunny" or "fast". In those case you need images that must be inferred.

    3. It would be cool if you had more of a game aspect to it. Build up something, if you make a mistake it comes crashing down. Or some other game element.

  • Byakko I would love to see more - looks intriguing

  • Ashley - can we expect improved collaboration support?

  • Ashley I figured it out.

    If you copy and paste an object that also appears in both layouts you get the error.

    Also layers are not presevred.

    Please make a merge function.

    I tried even merging by hand copying the XML across etc that did not work either.

  • Ashley I am getting a "Failed to paste: the data on the clipboard does not appear to be valid." error.

    I Ctrl -A on one one layout in a different project and then I ctrl-v paste it into my other project. Error.

    C2 needs a merge function urgently otherwise it is very difficult to collaborate with other developers.

    We need some development functions that make it easier to create and maintain projects.

  • cesisco nice examples. Thanks for showing us what you are working on.
