  • Elliott - I have some question. I am sorry, I am new at this.

    1) Is this a competition?

    2) Do we need to provide our own game assets(graphics, sounds and etc.)?

    3) By you mean overly-graphic content, do you mean to avoid making big games and only to create simple but creative game?

    1) Yes.

    2) You can use whatever assets you want, either made by yourself or pre-made, as long as the game itself is yours.

    3) Overly graphic refers to violence - action is fine, but we'd appreciate it if it was more Tekken and less Mortal Kombat!

  • Try:

    canvas {

    position: absolute;

    top: 50%;

    transform: translateY(-50%);

    }

  • Hi there Colorfish,

    It is indeed possible, the "event" part of the event sheet is effectively an If statement. I'd look at multiple conditions and sub-events to get a deeper understanding.

  • Making an example would overcomplicate it - you just have to place your sprite on the layout

  • Whilst you can recreate a boolean with a global numeric variable - by far the best feature of the boolean, toggle, is missing.

    Sure you can work around it, but as a guy who uses booleans a lot, I'd love to see the global boolean make it's appearance at last.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I'm very wary of online apps, and the oncoming horde of hybrids. Somewhat ironic considering that's what C2 excels in...

    I like to own my software, online or cloud apps are almost always subscription based, which is terrible for hobbyists - the target audience of C2/3.

  • Amazing - thank you R0J0!

  • Sure thing - the string is basically "number" "operator" "number" (1+11 for example)

    Quick example - the names were chosen poorly, but it demonstrates the idea that string changes at run time thanks to appends.

    A hypothetical string would be - "1+12+2-4*8"

  • The string is an equation that has operators and values appended to it at run time. Parsing is exactly what I want to do, but I've never done it - ideally I just want an expression that has the value of the string.

  • I have a text string that changes at run time (it's an equation) - I have a second variable (number) that I'd like to make the sum of this string.

    Is this possible? It's got me!

  • Given the new rise of Edge and Win10 apps - is there any possibility of this becoming a limited feature Ashley ?

  • The gamepad has to be activated by the face button (A on 360) to have it's inputs recognised.

  • From a gameplay perspective everything should be blocked in - the art comes later.
