  • To be honest there has not been much work on making the IDE easier to use. e.g., Why is it still not possible to search for keywords throughout the project? At the moment I use an external program to search the event XML sheets. It would improve productivity significantly if c2 had a decent search function that highlighted the search result - at the moment you have to hunt through large sections of code to find a single item.

    While C2 has received a great deal of new features I believe the actual working environment is pretty primitive. As a developer myself I know how easy it is to concentrate on the exciting new functions and forget about usability and the user . However, a great IDE is what will make more of a difference than being able to export to squiglybox or whatever the new toy on the block is.

  • This is exactly the problem I am dealing with also. I have to create many platform levels which have a number of layers. It it would be perfect if I could copy a collection of objects from different layers and then paste them into a different6 layout with the objects pasting back into their assigned layers. That way I could easily copy and paste many maps together from small map segments.

  • what kind of android device are you using? is it up to the task?

  • These are probably obvious but

    Depending on your scale method there is one axis that will always "fit" and the other will be too short.

    You need to ensure that on your layout that you extend that axis.

    Your HUD should be scale 0% and parallel 0,0

    I have never used scale inner I tend to use scale outer or letter box scale.

    You need to test it on various devices to confirm. I use a Sansung S3/S5 vs Nexus 7 and a Samsung Tab.

  • There are many ways to skin the cat. Can a tilemap be rotated at a slight angle?

  • katzin, cheers. Nice to hear. The next one we are making is a series of spelling apps - watch this space...

  • ok, for the player, i went for a increasing width option instead. At each corner just create a new sprite that then starts to expand in width.

  • it is an aggravating little game. love it. I knocked up a version last night just to see if I could. I haven't made the procedural drawing code yet but the rest works sweet as.

  • We now have a number of Construct 2 programs being used within our software.

    We have just added a couple of new ones which have a nice comic strip introduction thanks to Brashmonkey.

    The apps can be checked our on our arcade page

  • I use Nexus 7, Samung S3, S5 and Samsung Note 8 - 4.1though to 4.4

    Cheap phones don't tend to fare well with Construct games - I suspect it will be problem that resolves itself as soon even cheap phones will have sufficient grunt

  • blinkn i followed up your plugin suggestion - BINGO! Thanks very much.

  • Thanks guys - it appears I am doing the right thing however, it looks like cocoonjs is handling the "back" button also. I think I will live with it for now and check the cocoon forum later.

  • anybody?

  • On Android Tablets there is a "back" button.

    This does not appear to be the same as the Browser Back Button.

    Is there a way for me to register that the user has pressed the back button?

    If so how?
