  • I still like it but but your game has two annoying features

    The space bar, when typing fuzzy logic, the space bar shouldn't be required. I didn't notice so all I saw was logic.

    You can't switch targets. I hit the letter "h" and the computer picked a ufo with long name, I couldn't seem to switch UFOs

    This game is great, although it needs difficulty levels as it is, it is too difficult for grade 1-4 kids.

  • Joannesalfa I am not sure I understand, 128x128 is to the power of two, so why would it go to 256x256? As for making buttons using front sprite, yes I understand that I can do that but I was demonstrating a point here regarding the inefficient packer.

    Arima when you say cropping what do you refer to? Is that a step you can do in C2? I prepare my images in photoshop.

  • I would be very interested to see Ashley comment on this thread. The example given going from 8mb ram to 1mb is a very compelling reason to at least look this possibility. I have had projects where the artwork was too much for a number of devices and looking at the exported images there certainly appears to be scope for improvements to the memory usage.

    Here is an example from an export two buttons only 128x64 are stored on a sheet 256x256. At this size it isn't a major but it is principle, I expected the packer to be more efficient.

  • Have you tried using virtualbox? I use in on my pc to run a number of different virtual computers - faster and more stable than vmware

  • fabianosalles that is a rather fun little game. What are your plans for it?

  • Yes I will be able to set at runtime - less elegant.

  • what does the s in tds stand for?

    And I agree asking for people to help on a project but not providing any information is a bit amateurish. A better approach would be to get people excited about your project and offer them incentives to work on it. Why not show some screen shots or a video of where it is at?

  • Battle Academy is a complex game - the AI would be difficult to do in C2 - I play it on my ipad, many many hours

  • So where would people find the flash games? Difficult to determine how much work a job would be if you don't know what you are building. Not that I am putting my hand up

  • tyfricko what sort of bugs are in the game? I have had a play on some of the later levels and it is a rather nice puzzle game.

  • Bugger I keep going the wrong way - grr!!!

    Fun game, I will be interested to have a look at how you did certain things

    Thanks for sharing

  • Problem Description

    Sprite has an instance variable "char", type string/text.

    If the variable is set to a equal a single "space" character (instead of an "a", "b" etc) then the process of saving and reloading will trim the character from the instance variable.

    i.e., set it " " and save and reload will make it "" (no apostrophes of course)

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    This bug came about when I was making my own virtual keyboard.

    The spacebar was assigned a " ", i.e., single space character. This works fine until you save and reload and the space character has been removed.

    Other keys are assigned other ascii characters.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Step 1 The saved capx will not have the "space" char in place so you will need to edit the instance variable.
    • Step 2 If you run it the text on the right will indicate the space is found.
    • Step 3 Now save restore and rerun and the space is gone,

    Observed Result

    manually put in the space - all good

    save and reload - no space - no good

    Expected Result

  • We have been selling Tables of Doom since September last year

    https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/steve-s ... ?ls=1&mt=8

    Sales have been steady but not huge.

    Main hassles with itunes - you need an Apple with latest iOS and XCode - you also need a Apple licence.

  • necromaster Looks very nice indeed. However, I had some problems.

    I downloaded the demo capx. It works for Firefox but blows up when opening in Chrome.

    v 168 of C2 - some sort of assertion error. I can do a screenshot if you want to have a look.
