  • The rotating is cool. It points in the direction it's moving.

  • for the love of god...please don't let this flame bait get started.

    Sorry to disappoint bro, but that's not my intention.

    I seem to think that it would make sense to make a tutorial geared more towards mobile uses for Construct 2 if the interest is there. For now, I have a touch based event working for iPhone for my game that I am porting to Construct 2.

    Peace out.

  • Have a look at this, it might be useful to what you're tying to do, it's a pathfinding example:

  • My first attempt didn't do anything.

    .http://www.mypwn.com/ajaxexample/

    I FTP'd your example as well and it GET's the info in the php file...it just doesn't display in the text object.

    .http://www.mypwn.com/ajaxtutorial/

    I'll keep tinkering and hopefully figure out what I'm doing wrong.

    I just checked your c2runtime.js file. It is showing my domain vs. yours. You should change:

    jtadeo.com/scirra/ajax/ajaxexample1/ajaxexampleGET.php

    to

    mypwn.com/ajaxtutorial/ajaxexampleGET.

    This is a crossdomain issue.

  • droptank21 and Mehtab,

    This is good to know. Can you guys PM me your .capx file. I'd like to take a look. As well, make sure sure that the index.html that gets generated by Construct2 is in the same directory as the ajaxexampleGET.php file.

    If anyone is having issues please PM me, It would be good to know why it isn't working. I will post whatever I find.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I'm curious to know how many here use either or none or something else.

    I used a Blackberry for several years and switched to iPhone about 3 years ago. As much as I loved the Blackberry brand, it just fell way behind the iPhone when I made the switch.

  • In your tutorial you have the AJAX event as:

    AJAX -> on "" completed... action = txtReturnData -> set text to AJAX.LastData

    But in your capx file it shows instead:

    AJAX -> On AJAX.LastData completed...action = txtReturnData -> set text to AJAX.LastData

    Thanks for finding that. I've updated the zip file.

    It works either way - at least that's what I found. I'm sure the final version of Construct 2 will have some kind of update or official docs on the stuff we're all using.

    For now, use the "" version.

  • Hey this is cool!

    I wanna try this out.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

    I've updated the tutorial as per Ashley's suggestion (it was very handy). I also updated the .zip download.

  • Ghengis, I don't have time to read the tutorial fully but at a quick glance it looks superb, good job!

    Just so you know, you can split it onto multiple pages with:

    ==========

    It's quite a long page so might be a good idea!

    Thanks for the tip.

    I didn't know I could split up the pages. When I was writing it, I did notice an unusual amount of scrolling on my part. I'll split it up. Things will be neater and it will load faster too.

    *updated didn't to did

  • Top score is $68,200.

    Such a loyal soul ;)

    Thanks for the comments everyone. I posted an AJAX tutorial so I can remember how I did it. It's basic with lots of screen captures.

  • I added a tutorial with lots of screen captures and notations. I hope it helps someone. http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/61/how-to-a-simple-ajax-example-with-construct-2

  • lol...yeah, the hard button doesn't work. I will speed it up.

    As well, the roll movement is a bit wonky. I can't wait to see how Construct 2 will handle physics.

  • Ghengis I love your game "CASH ROLL". <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> What a fun, and addictive game. Did you make all the game art yourself? I'm looking forward to your AJAX tutorial Iv been working on a database, and some php scripts for a social game like FarmVille, and I would really like to use Construct 2 to build it.

    Yes, I use to be a an illustrator before I got into programming.

    The next step would be to create a login, member/avatar set up that will post to a leaderboard with achievements, points etc.

    I'll write up the tutorial on the basics of the AJAX object. Then build on that.

    Construct 2 is just an amazing piece of work by Scirra. It is very powerful. I'm so glad I found it.

  • I have the basics for the AJAX object working on my test game. It will post and show a score in a simple listing. I'll write a quick tutorial for everyone so I can remember how I did it too.
