  • 7pm gmt-4 today?

  • I'll probably add a checkbox to use 'old unit scale' which will be ticked if your project is old

    Good idea.

  • I'll try to be in, these were fun.

  • Yeah, well, in my case the CPU is a bottleneck

    Heh, my game also. With really small resolutions, games tend to bottleneck at the CPU, since everything is being rendered so fast. Some events have considerable overhead, namely overlapping at offset.

  • 59) Being able to copy a whole layout without screwing up the project would be cool

    You can copy a whole layout easily, if you're using build 98.9. Right click, clone layout.

  • don't use 99.3 for serious work. It's has bugs and some features don't work as they're supposed to. Use 98.9 if you are actually working on a game.

  • The canvas issue can be solved by having:

    CODE: SELECT ALL

    +Start of layout

    -Canvas width = layoutwidth

    -Canvas height = layoutheight

    just use canvas start of layout set height/width to layout height/width.

    This is actually a very bad idea. Having a canvas the size of the layout is ridiculous. Levels are usually way bigger than 2056x2056 (especially in the case of thomas mahlers overly demanding game), and canvases larger than 2056 in any direction results in VRAM death.

    A better idea would be to set the canvases to display height/width, but with resolutions larger than 1024 x anything, the game would probably be unplayable due to low fps (although i noticed my 8300 GS supports render targets with different than power of 2 textures, but that's not the case with most computers i believe.). 2 full screen canvases is generally a bad idea, it would really hurt the fps during gameplay.

  • The best way to learn Construct is to play around.

  • be careful with overlapping at offset, it's hard on the cpu.

  • wow, never knew that was there.

  • paper mario 64? I found it fun.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • nice!

    having a physical controller which interfaces with construct would be awesome. Somebody really should make a mindstorms plugin... Damn do i wanna try mindstorms....

  • if you mean the event editor objects list, then you can organize them by type.

    click on the object, then there is a field called "category" in the properties bar. which allows you to group objects by named categories.

  • use the selection box tool.

  • can be used at any time, to return the number of picked instances of a sprite.

    eg. A overlaps B >> if none overlap, then it will return 0, since none are picked.

    You can use it in nested structures of picking subevents to check for the count of picked objects and it would return different numbers at different points of the tree.

    i know you can do this with a for each and a variable, but having an expression could come in handy.
