  • I concur, I don't think a plug-in like that currently exists, it sounds more like a fully-fledged program required for something like that. C2 plug-ins tend to be JavaScript, and you can't tap into webcams nor record screens with JavaScript.

  • Lately the website has been going down for hours at a time, and it feels weird not checking up and I end up retrying frequently til I eventually get on haha

    I know that feeling all too well, . It felt like a part of me was missing, ha ha.

  • Hey, everyone,

    I know we can change button styles with CSS, but text objects are using a font from the Font directory and bundling that with the .exe when exported. If we change the button font using CSS using the font-family property to the same font, when exported, is it going to reference the packaged font or still manually look it up from the system and become an incompatibility? I want to make my buttons match the rest of the text objects in the GUI. I know that I can technically just use sprites with the text in them and use any text colour changes as an animation frame, but I'd rather use the proper Button object to save processing and time.

    Many thanks!

  • Happy Birthday, Ashley! A shame to have all the website issues over your birthday, must be frustrating not being able to chill, .

  • Welcome to all the newcomers of the week!

    As you're all new arrivals, please take a look at the How Do I - Frequently asked questions and Tips for posting in the "How do I?" forum before asking for game creation assistance.

    Additionally, there are many tutorials you can start learning withhosted here on Scirra's website.

    Again, welcome to the community, and happy developing!

  • Objects have names that you assign, you can access their X and Y value in an Event by grabbing objectname.X and objectname.Y.

  • Nuska A lot of people are experiencing issues at the moment, myself included, only managed to find a forum work-around just before so I can access the forums, but posting still fails a bit.

    If you're wanting the manual I uploaded the offline Construct 2 Manual download to my Dropbox for you. Additionally, if you need some help with using the program, hopefully forum access stays up for me and you can post a question in Beginner's Questions, where I will do my best to assist.

  • Tom Are you having more issues? In case it helps you (and others to access the forums), the ONLY way I've gotten into these forums is through browser history in the Back functionality. For example, let's say I want to enter Beginner Questions, I access that URL and it fails, then I try to access the main forums and it fails, but I can use the Back functionality in the browser, and suddenly, the initial failed path works fine. Presumably because it was cached?

    EDIT: Posts are working now, guess you're getting things under control, .

  • bshane651 Hmm... even if it is a PayPal button on your website for donations, since it's relating to your efforts with the game, the suggestive thought becomes, "Like my game? Donate to support further efforts!". This involves the game playing a part in someone's decision to give you money or not, and could technically be called revenue generated from the game. You'd have to ask Ashley or Tom, but my guess (from my completely literal mindset) is that it wouldn't be permitted.

  • — They already are, I've used one of the Dystopia tracks (can't recall which off-hand) for the ambient background music in the first star system, and likely for others per classification, .

    Have a day job: No

    Average time spent developing in a week: 72 hours (12 hours a day, from 12pm to 12am with a day off (Sunday) - this is essentially my day job and passion in one, so I spend as much time as I can on it!)

  • You could do it with Events, but as I'm stuck on a part in my game at the moment I'll give you a simple solution that popped into my mind, .

    Make a transparent sprite that's as high as your active layout, but only 1px wide, and place it behind the player area with the Anchor behaviour. Then you can detect if it overlaps one of the missed objects and restarts the layout or ends the game.

  • SpiritedV Loving the art style, .

    I am almost certain that angry birds could be made in under 100 events. Maybe not the menu or some of the different power-ups, but certainly the core gameplay.

    Definitely in under 100, more than likely including power-ups, .

    Can I sell the game I make in the Free Edition because since I can't afford a license that would be the only way to get one, by selling the small games I make. And one more thing, when is the next competition - I would love to enter, might the the only way for me to get a license.

    No, you require a license. If everyone could plead a case Scirra would have tens of thousands of people trying to grab free copies. if you sell a game you make in the free edition you're breaking the EULA and are breaking the law. Wait until you can afford a license, then sell the game.
