  • the true power of the internet is beginning to show itself.

    just wait until major musicians start abandoning music labels for self publishing, or even public funded album production. i know i would pay for the next jazzanova album.

    or when content providers ditch cable and production studio's. think of josh whedon crowd sourcing the return of 'firefly' on a paid youtube channel.

    this is the tip of the iceberg that sinks the titanically lumbering major market control of monetized creativity.

  • Arima,

    correct me if i'm wrong because i am definitely not a c2 expert...lol, but in your first example, i think the or condition works correctly. you just did not specify all the possible conditions for the outcome.

    what i mean is; you have a condition for if you press d, you have one for if you press the right arrow. so if you press them both together, the condition is doing exactly what you 'told' it to do. it is counting both conditions as true, because you have not given it an action to perform for pressing both. so if you simply add...

    If right arrow is down

    or

    If D is down

    or

    if D and right arrow are both down

    • set sprite x to sprite.x+1

    wouldn't that work correctly?

  • wow, nice find

  • Animmaniac,

    i like this 'method'. basically a 'hierarchical else' event. if i understand you correctly.

    i think it may solve ash's main problem, which is to keep the solution as elegant as possible. meaning, no multiple 'else' event statements. instead of that, you have implemented one 'else' with multiple event states, that mirror the intended use. am i reading you right so far.

    it seems like this could solve the problem ash talked about with nested or stacked 'else' events. you could conceivably mix and match the usage to fit the functionality intended;

    event: condition 1

    else> event: condition 2

          else> event: condition 3

                else> event: condition 4

    else> event: condition 5

    if i understand your logic than this event course can be built where;

    conditions 1, 2 and 5 are assessed in parallel while conditions 3 and 4 are optional choices of condition 2

    am i seeing this right?

  • alas,

    i have an ipad, so along with being hated by most people for illogical reasons, i also can't test it out...lol.

  • very nice game mechanic/concept sir,

    to echo the others, this begs a mobile version. even kids could play this, as they learn cognitive skills from it's simple navigation.

    well done so far...

  • hearing more opinions and ash as well,

    i agree, that multiplayer is too big to take on at this time. in lieu of that choice, i would definitely choose 'event sheet features'. having 'else, and and or' would go miles in making the event sheet programming better match traditional programming logic, which would make the transition of newcomers with 'programming' experience even easier. it would also make c2 a prime candidate for game design and programming classes.

    so i gracefully back down to wiser opinions...lol.

    i don't know if the poll is tracked 'per user', but if so, change my vote to 'event sheet features'.

  • i voted for multiplayer online.

    then i started reading other posts, and i could also see the event features as being equally important. but i read bad arguments about not going with multiplayer. saying that there would be 100 abandoned rpg's is not reason enough to pick event features over multiplayer in my eyes. there are tens to hundreds of 'aaa' rpgs abandoned from development every year, by professionals. not because they don't have multiplayer tech, but because rpgs are hard in every conceivable way, that making a game can be hard. but the multiplayer feature itself would be invaluable to people seeking to make turn-based games, rogue-like crawlers, pong derivatives, board games, racing games, over head combat games, co-op platformers, card games, fantasy card games and list goes on.

    it would also go a long way in bringing more attention, developers and positive press to c2, which we would all benefit from.

    i'm not ranting, i hope...lol. i just don't want people to feel bad about their choices in this poll, because of some narrowly directed criticism.

    like many others have said, this is a veritable christmas list of features to choose from.

    it would be hard to characterize any one choice as wrong.

    non-rant rant over...lol.

  • lol...they fooled me. i was getting pissed every time 'they' would gang up on me. i was like the colonial marine in aliens...

    "oh you want some? oh yeah, you can have some too. oh you too, yeah, suck on this..."
