  • So if I read this right, you're asking the author of a paper for permission to use his technique for something in a game. He tells you he invented it but doesn't own the patent. Tells you to contact company. You do. They say you can't use it. You tell them that other software and even open source libraries use the technique in the paper. So now you ask what is and isn't usable and they're telling you to contact IP knowledgeable folk. Seems like someone is just doing their job and telling you it's copyrighted. However, asking large companies if you can use their "even loosely regulated" IP will almost always end up with someone telling you you cannot. If others are using the technique in their commercial projects, and there are open-source libraries on the technique, then I geuss It's kind of a gray area.

  • Strange... Never had that happen.

    Would you be willing to show me the .cap?

  • Also, just to clarify, construct never runs anything concurrently, everything is evaluated and executed top to bottom, except with special cases like "start of layout", loops, and functions

    And just to add to the "start of layout" thing:

    Multiple start of layout events will still run in the order of the event sheet. The ones higher on the list will run before the lower start of layout events. Basically anything that has a green arrow next to it is a trigger, which means that it runs when called, but the order still matters when there is multiple identical triggers.

    I know you're probably asking about using globals in this situation as a hypothetical situation to learn more about construct, but in case you didn't think of it, private variables would be better in this case. Each collided pair of instances would have their values set accordingly, and you can use subevents to modify the values without losing the picking.

  • Right click the bar and press "use expression". after that, use the "rgb(R,G,B)" expression to make up an expression.

  • Wow, that's awesome lucid. Post a video of your game running on android, I want to see this.

  • From what I have observed,

    You should definitely have more than one post.

    You should show a great deal of interest in Construct, and have demonstrated your knowledge and interest.

    You should visit these forums often.

    You should be a long term member of the community.

    You must be selected by the developers.

    Looks like you don't qualify. And nice first post...

  • I had the same thoughts as you before I bought mine.I have the nano 5g and it's really a great mp3 player/video camera. The camera is pinhead small but takes very decent quality video, and the sound is really clear too. I was surprised at how good it was. As for songs, 8 gigs is perfect for me and the only thing you have to install to put songs on the ipod is itunes. Don't worry, Apple wouldn't make the mistake to make it a hassle to put "generic" .mp3's onto their players; all you have to do is drag any old file into the itunes window and it goes on. All .mp3's work fine. Videos only pose a minor hassle as they have to be converted to .mp4(or something like that) with another program to be playable. All in all I say the nano is a great deal. The video recording quality is great and the player is tiny but solid as a rock, with a decent screen size. it's around 169$ CAN for the 8 gig one. Theres a lot of other little features too which you'll probably never use. The only annoying thing about itunes is that it tries to install safari and something else every time it updates. You have to remember to uncheck the boxes so that it doesn't.

    Same here. .

  • Try this

    always> set OBJECT.x to CLAMP(object.x+((mousex-object.x)/SPEED COEFFICIENT GREATER THAN 1),(left x boundary), (right x boundary))

  • I've had this problem, but thankfully in my games it only happens after about a half-hour of work. It is EXTREMELY annoying; I have lost progress quite a few times. Now I make sure to save very often. Sometimes I forget to save however, and I curse when the ui goes all white and error-soundy on me.

  • I drew Mario.

  • Nice, but I can assure you that a score like that will be a lot harder to get in the next version.
