  • That's definitely clever, it's kinda doing what I had in mind backwards though.

    What I want to use it for right now is terrain that is more or less interactive (think of Terraria's terrain system for instance).

    Maybe this illustrates what I mean better.

    I actually managed to do something to that effect after messing around with the cap you linked to. But it's convoluted and I'm sure there's a better (ie, more efficient) way of doing it.

    Any thoughts on how to make this more efficient?

  • I'm not currently working on anything game related but I had an idea I wanted to test some days back. However, to do it proper I'd need to be able to check, on a square grid, if any objects were adjacent to another.

    I ran into this problem a while ago with an idea for a grid-based tactical rpg engine I had (though I decided to wait with that game 'til C2 had everything needed for it), and now I find myself facing the same problem (albeit from a slightly different angle), and I've no idea of how to do it. Hopefully some of you guys do.

    So, I have object laid out on a square grid basis (have no actual code/events for the grid, I'm just using the grid feature in the layout editor) and I want to be able to check if an object on the grid is adjacent to anything else, so I could change its attributes depending on what surrounds it.

  • I'll definitely get the Standard version as soon as I get some money. =)

  • Originally they were going to make Spider-Man 4, but Raimi dropped out of the project and with him both Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst went. My guess is that Sony had allotted a budget for the fourth movie and simply used that for the reboot instead when Raimi dropped. The announcement of the reboot and the cancellation happened virtually simultaneously so I'm quite sure this was the case.

    I wouldn't mind a change in casting and/or director. Heck, Peter Parker is the easiest character to cast in the world, he has no distinguishable features other than... brown-ish hair. And anyone reading the comics would be used to the characters being portrayed extremely different depending on current writers and artist. So a change in cast wasn't really a big deal. The part that pisses me off so much is that they do the origin story again. They just HAVE to have it occur during the highschool period. Sigh.

  • bit.ly/q2kzIB

    What can I say? As a Spider-Man fan I'm... disappointed... =(

  • I hath plussed thee up another number. =)

    I might use this +1 button thing for my own site.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Every few seconds i get a bsod and the reason for the bsod?,Gooooogle chrome.re you sure? Did you check the bsods stop code? If you get bsod's frequently it's very likely that something physical is broken.

  • Have to agree with EmperorIng. I opted in on it, then opted out again. The only obvious difference that that the site is even more convoluted than before, and also bloated (probably to better "support" browsing the site from touch screen devices).

    There's an inherent flaw I have here. I saw the feedback button on the left. But I didn't want to use the new interface enough so I could give proper feedback (Though I am not under the illusion that the Youtube crew ever listens to the feedback it gets).

  • =(

  • I don't see a download link for it. <img src="smileys/smiley24.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Looks neat though.

  • Swedish, fluent in English. No problem here.

  • When I first heard about Construct I was frequenting The Daily Click, and was using MMF2, back when it was brand spanking new (I had been using TF and MMF since way back too). At the time it seemed like an inferior carbon copy to me and the requirement to install a c++ element was off-putting to me, so I quickly forgot about it.

    Later on I heard about it again. I decided to give it a go again and tried it and quickly moved over to using Construct permanently and by extention joining up on the Scirra forums etc. =)

  • When I saw this thread I thought of this.

  • I've perused a couple of these kinds of sites. The major sites are cafepress.com, printfection.com, zazzle.com and spreadshirt.com.

    The first three are all based in the US while spreadshirt is based in germany (meaning lower cost of delivery for us europeans). I've only tried spreadshirt, because I don't have a lot of money to throw around sadly, and it was satisfactory, though I used a gradient in my image and that didn't show up too well if you look close. The price was decent too.

    From what I've heard zazzle is supposed to have good quality on their stuff, but they are also said to be the most expensive of the bunch (their swedish site is horrible too. they used google translate or something and I guess they forgot that crowns is not 1:1 to dollars)

    I'd say if you're in the US try zazzle, if you're in Europe, try spreadshirt.
