  • Is there a way to traverse through animation frames and show them all alongside each other within a layout.

    I have an animation called "photos"

    Within this there are frames

    0 = picture1.jpg

    1 = picture2.jpg

    2 = picture3.jpg

    I would like them to appear on screen like:

    picture1.jpg - picture2.jpg - picture3.jpg with a nice consistent space between them (all images are the same size)

  • Interesting

    Does anyone know if the Clay app is available on the Apple store? I can't seem to find it.

  • Thanks Djfuzion,

    I see Html5 websites that look and behave more like apps these days and sometimes its hard to tell the difference (apart from the url address bar)

    I was just trying to cut down on the amount of development and maintenance time required to build and maintain both a website and an app.

    Looks like I will need both if I'm going to get the app accepted by Apple and Google.

  • Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The website would be built in standard HTML well (PHP actually).

    Only the app would be made in Construct 2.

    The app and website would be targeted to a specific group of registered users and SEO is not a requirement anyway.

    Your database app sounds interesting and very similar to ideas that I have.

    Has anyone else published a similar app on the stores successfully?

    Thanks

  • I have been scoping the possibility of building an app that basically wraps around a responsive website.

    Concept

    Build a database driven website. Keep the website up to date.

    Build an app that wraps up and displays the website. The app would retain the users login details through a local storage variable.

    Why

    Need both an app and a website and only wish to keep one updated

    The website content is dynamic and will be updated daily.

    An app has a feeling of being more idiot proof/easier/familiar to use for non techies

    Problems I can see so far

    Have read Apple and Google Play wouldn't allow simple HTML5 website wrappers

    Native App

    If all else fails I would need to build a native app and make database calls to the website and present them within the app

    As this is a scoping exercise, I was wondering if anyone had come up against such a project in the past and which route would be the best to take from a usability/timescale/cost viewpoint.

    Thanks

  • My app runs fullscreen portrait and the admob intersitial ads sometime show in landscape format. When the advert is closed the layout is off to one side of the screen and I have to go back and then forward to correct it.

    Within construct I am using the positioning calculation to find the center of the screen to place objects and scroll to center of the layout on start.

    Building with Intel XDK and fullscreen portrait set.

    Not sure if this is a construct 2 issue, admob plugin issue or intel xdk issue.

    I did read somewhere it could be padding that is added with the browser but couldn't find out how to try this option when exporting.

    Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?

  • I have a number of square sprites on screen arranged in a grid.

    The number of squares may vary from say 1 to 50.

    When you click a square I want this to pass a number variable.

    Is it possible to achieve this without creating a touch event for each sprite?

  • I currently have a separate layout for interstitial ads and a interstitial global counter.

    Layouts:

    1. Preload

    2. Game

    3. Shop

    4. Interstitial

    Every time the user clicks back it adds 1 to the interstitial global counter.

    When this counter reaches 2 it takes them to the interstitial layout and resets the interstitial global value to zero

    My question, is there any need for the interstitial layout at all?

    Is it best to just show the advert over the Game layout?

  • I downloaded your capx but unfortunately it's in a newer version than the one I'm using.

    I'm on Stable and you are using beta

    Perhaps if you use the Stable version more people could help.

    Other than that, what's appears to be the problem?

  • 2 - Build 12 seems more stable than 11. No crash yet and higher fps

    FPS showing 59,60,61,62 when no banner is visible

    3 - Banner works first time but on returning to game screen from another layout banner does not show?

    When banner showing I get around 40 - 50 FPS

    Another problem has occured with 12 (11 was fine) - after Inter ad the sound stops

  • Looks like someone is upgrading the forum base code.

  • Don't forget your brand

    How familiar is "EA sports - it's in the game"

    Brand is important no matter how big your company

    Push your brand at every chance you can. The loading screen, make a screen before the game that has your logo, the settings page or instructions page. You can also have your logo on the game preview images within Google Play.

    If you come up with a popular game you will be glad that your brand is embeded within the project.

    Think big from the beginning.

  • Thanks I've tried most of those but will try points 2 and 3 and report back soon

  • Same here:

    Galaxy Tab 4 + Admob Banner ads + Crosswalk = Crash

    Frame rate drops from 57 - 60 to around 30 fps

    Remove banner ads (cranberry) and app runs at full pelt.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Does this happen on other apps too?

    I had a similar problem on my S3. Took ages to figure out what it was.

    Turned out I had removed the memory card from my S2, put it straight into my S3 and there was some corrupt files on the memory card.

    Reformatted the memory card inside my S3 and the problem disappeared. Phone was a lot quicker too.

    Not sure why this worked but maybe worth a try. Backup your data on the card first of course.
