  • This thread has some awesome links and info! thanks rex!

    [quote:2x3vhpux]Do you mind going into a little more detail on how you passed data into C2. Like For that Dragon Sword. What file type did you use and what were some difficulty's you came across.

    Right now it is only loaded into the C2 project with url parameters like?a=b&c=d. So it is a one time thing when loading the iframe url, if i can pass a userkey into the C2 file, then it should be enough to communicate from C2 to the server with the user's identity. Rex's plugin looks like it will work better than this method!

    The dragon sword isn't shown through C2, its just html+javascript+php, i changed the item system from database to json and back to database. Ultimately to do it properly, i guess a database would be the correct solution.

    My difficulty is the lack of planning. I just had the ideas in my head so i keep on changing stuff! I should really create a plan like you have

  • Good luck! Its going to be tough especially the time it'll take for one person.

    I am working on a similar project, The website for my game is http://keo.land/ and a video at

    .

    I've tested passing data into the C2 game from the website as well as website data into C2. I purchased an icon pack and drew 800+ images to equip onto the avatar. The player's equipped items are in the database and the items on the inventory can be equipped. The "Explore" page shows a map that is map in C2.

    I've been working on this on and off casually for about 4 months and at this rate, its still going to be miles away!

  • I use C2 steam and don't have the issues people complain about... preview over wifi works wonderfully with C2 steam as well

  • When the user updates their profile, you will have their id available.

    Update score for user id 1

    UPDATE `$db`.`scores` set score = 1000 where id = 1;

    Update score and name for id 1

    UPDATE `$db`.`scores` set name = "bob", score = 1337 where id = 1;

    With the url, its basically the same, just make sure to pass the id.

    ?id=1&name=bob&score=1337

  • > Is there a way to do "new line"? think i tried \n and <br> which didn't seem to work

    >

    Is this what you mean? This is an example I have that uses a new line half way through.

    "FPS: " & fps & " Objects: " & objectcount & newline & "IMU: " & ImageMemoryUsage & " CPU: " & round(cpuutilisation * 100)

    I don' think so.. So when setting the default value in the text object, i want to get two lines:

    "this is one line"

    "this is

    two lines"

  • Is there a way to do "new line"? think i tried \n and <br> which didn't seem to work

  • I think it is a standard for this type of application, a live update preview on the text object would be nice and writing directly into the text object would be nicer...

    Thanks for checking out my latest creation: CMYK Slime! I experimented with the color mixing a while ago. The game so far has been created in the last few hours.

    Concept: The slime changes color and you use the sliders at the bottom of the screen to match the colour of the slime. Once there is a match, it'll give you more energy, +1 score and create a new slime color. (The game preview contains debug info)

    Bugs:A few duplicate #000 black combinations to fix. Ending game needs to be more elegant and missing highscores...

    Play! http://indie.kiwi/games/slime-testing/

  • Awesome work and the trailers are amazing!

  • Pro: It has a lot of potential because you can send and receive javascript requests between C2 iframe and the webpage. I've been experimenting with this and its awesome.

    Con: hosting requires a few dollars, and some effort to learn if you are new to it.

    http://www.000webhost.com/ - Free, some popup ads, but not too many

    http://www.dreamhost.com/ - Probably the best as first year is like $10 if you look for the deal for their unlimited shared hosting

    http://namecheap.com - Currently using this one, because i don't have much to host and therefore cheap. probably like $3m for 3 domains hosted

    http://digitalocean.com/ - Next i'll be using VPS from these guys when i host something more serious in a C2 project. Its $5month minimum, and you'll need to setup stuff for VPS

  • Yes, right click and add event sheet

  • With the fact that there will be multiple categories, then it is better to use xml or json.

    Commas, quotations etc. shouldn't really be a problem, they just need to be escaped.

    If you are going to allow public contributions, you should write a script that will take the raw data and format it properly into xml/json or even csv. Then you can use it yourself to add your data and escape special characters properly, and allow users to run the script (eg in html frontend) and generate data that is structured correctly.
