  This should be in the "How do I?" forum (which is where I usually live).

  This means that Construct failed to load one of the key project files (app.manifest, manifest,json, data.js, etc.).

  You need to use developer tools to find out which one, where the browser expects to find it, and put it there.

  As far as caching is concerned most browsers allow you to disable it.

  —

  We are (slowly) building a new game dev. studio. Our flagship project, FATE: Carpe Moerae, will be built entirely (edit2: or rather the ENTIRE front end... the back end is in Java servlets) in Construct, so C2 is definitely not a toy, although it can be used as such.

  Also, our website (in my sig) was built (front end) entirely in C2.

  (Actually, we use Pode's iFrame for content pages.... but I consider that "part" of C2).

  Making every single layer in the layout transparent should achieve what you want (sort of). The problem is that browsers have inherently white backgrounds.

  What exactly do you want to show through? The user's desktop?

  We are building a game like this. Except ours will be superior to Clash of Clans in most ways (except perhaps the combat portion).

  Thanks gumshoe2029 I knew rex has alot of usefull plugins. I prefer to build the system from scratch to understand what is under the hood.

  This is always a good method. Especially if you have the time to do it.

• Try Construct 3

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

  Hello guys!

  So my game has come a long way.

  I managed to get everything that I wanted working and even Mandrill. My one issue now is, how can I save an array to a file that is not downloaded and that can be called with the mandrill plugin?

  This is purely for convenience as I can send the data in the email body, but that is messy because then I have to copy paste every single email into a .json file. (that's a pain if I hit thousands of players).

  Thanks a lot for your initial boost, gumshoe2029 and — You guys helped make it possible.

  np. Glad to help.

  I am fairly confident that if you have a Personal or Business license, you can use those freely. I would.

  I am not sure JavaScript is allowed to do that (for security reasons).

  There is one library, and a few hacks that I found on StackOverflow:

  You should be able to put exactly that in a "Browser: Execute JavaScript" event though.

  I use that same behavior to transfer information between my Java servlets on the backend and my C2 HTML/JS on the front.

  As far as I can tell, all that is doing is set each image as it's own page frame then making the scroll bar unit of movement = 1 page. You might have to break up your movie into a bunch of images and put them on frames in a Sprite in Construct, then do a "On mouse wheel down: Sprite.setFrame(Sprite.currentFrame +1)" and "On mouse wheel up: Sprite.setFrame(Sprite.currentFrame -1)".

  I imagine there are plugins or external software that would help you break your movie into a sprite sheet.

  Your artwork on Healer Quest is charming too. Almost makes me wish I had a smart phone... but not quite.

  You really should ask Google first:

  All hail all-knowing Google.

  Construct simply extends the basic APIs of all of these libraries into a visual format, localStorage.removeItem(key) is probably what you are looking for.
