  • Granted but there are ways I can send info from win32 app to webpage so I may look into it again at a later date when I am experienced with Construct.

    It certainly is the right tool for the job, construct 2 is brilliant and we are already using it for a online project. It is so right for the job that I want to use it in more ways, I may have to look at setting up a server within each centre that hosts the software.

    thanks

  • Hi all,

    I probably have a unique problem. I would like to use Construct to make programs that run on desktop computers as part of our existing win32 software. The export to exe presents problems including the size, 33-40MB for a simple program is excessive. Also the exe is not going to work as I need to read some data out of the registry, including the students Name, ID etc.

    Then I thought I hit on a marvellous solution.

    Create a an embedded chromium webpage within a win32 Delphi program and just open the html on the local machine. (The local machine does not have internet). This way I only need to include the embedded Chrome once and the HTML files are not so large.

    The snag is that for some reason if you export a project to HTML files it need to be put onto a server. If I double click the index.html I get a message and black screen.

    Can someone explain that requirement? Is it by design to limit use or is there a real reason for it?

    Is there a work around that I could use?

  • Hi

    I would like to use construct 2 for making programs to put in our current suite of educational software.

    I would like to be able to export our games to use in a Windows desktop environment. We are also wanting to make tablet and web programs but desktop would also be nice.

    However, when I export using the Node-Webkit option I don't have the ability to remove the windows border. From what I have read it sounds like the functions are in the script just not available from the interface. Is there a way that the app comes up on the desktop without a border? If so how do I do it? Or could this feature be added to new version?
