  • no. No none Scirra plugins will work. It's in the submission guideline when you try to submit. There is a list of allowed plugins. Which is just native C2.

    However this will change someday. Maybe for xmas?

  • So Google is finally making the move. Rather than move into the console market. They are going to create a device aimed to bridge all markets.

    I'm looking forward to this :)

  • It's great work. However to play devils advocate.

    If I want choppy. I'll play Monkey island on an older computer :D

  • Am I the only one who's music plays through a layout change?

    I can have a song run on loop for eternity and auto change the layout every 5 seconds and the music will not stop.

    I have no idea why i'm seeing these reports of music to play through. It's boggling me.

  • Is there a Function involved?

    Are you using Goto layout by name?

    I find that wait(x) will remove any values passed by a function.

  • it's not in mirrored. It's a little odd. but there is a set width option to mirror rather than a set mirror.

  • Aright. While no new code update has been done. I am pleased to make an announcement.

    Congrats to HeroBix a on/off forum goer here. Who producer of The Blue Code graduated from the prestigious Vancouver Film School. With that I am pleased to announce that The Blue Code won the award for "BEST FINAL PRODUCT" for the Entertainment Business Management class of Winter 2014.

    There will be updates to The Blue Code coming and will keep posted when the Kickstarter funding begins.

  • just an update.

    STARTECHSTUDIOS only works when they have already posted in the thread. So this won't notify Ashley to the thread. I thin it is a pity. I would like it if the symbol did work that way.

  • Well to follow up. As you have the only iso engine being offered. You are allowed to set the starting price. Though Randomfellow has a point.

    Yes "anybody" can make an iso engine. But then compare time spent on the engine. vtrix is right on figuring price. The more niche the closer to your expected pay wage you should charge.

    As an example

    C2 is a windows tool. Thus makes sense that on a cost ration it's cheaper than your iso engine.

    Your iso engine can only work inside C2 and no other game tool.

    Then your iso engine is only for people who want iso games.

    So it makes sense that your Iso engine on a scale cost ratio costs more per hour of effort than C2. Same with a tool like Spriter that is meant to target EVERYONE who makes 2D games.

    I find Unity asset store ranges from $5 to $100. With unique on the higher side.

    so someone could either spend 16 hours at $40/hr($640) or they can spend 30m to purchase and integrate for $50. Ok. I don't get paid $40/hr. but that is apparently the going rate for experienced programmers in my city. And I don't know about other, but I have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people who CAN'T make new things.

    Also if I may offer a few more pieces of advice.

    * CLEAN. Remove all disabled code or leave a comment why it's in.

    * DOCUMENT. To make code usefull make sure people have comments to read as to what it does and how it goes about it.

    * POLISH. try to reduce fluff code

    * SEPERATE. if you have sample code. Make sure it's not integrated into the main engine code.

    * MINIMIZE. when I integrate(ie copy/paste) make sure it's as little as possible.

    and demo it. Good graphics are only for people who don't understand the code they are buying. People who understand the code they are buying don't need good graphics.

    edit:

    oh I also forgot to mention. No matter what you need to run on the honour system. There will always be people who will infringe or distribution. However you can at least get a License agreement in your code and upon agreement of purchase.

    That way if the code is distributed you have threatening recourse. Although there is no way to enforce such. but it's at least it is in there.

  • that's ok. I make that mistake too :D

    how about exploring and just play a sound. then change the layout a few seconds later?

  • Are you currently using the CocoonJS launcher? or are you using the Cloud Compile?

    My guess is your using the CocoonJS Launcher.

    The Launcher is use to do developement testing and not publication. C2 ability to lock orientation is never garunteed on mobile. However in CJS you can at the game selection screen click the GEAR ICON in the top right corner. There will be the option for "Portrait/Landscape". Expoloring software is fun.

    If you were using Cloud Compile. Then it's in the browser feature options and is required that use the check box. But I'm guessing your using the Launcher.

  • It really doesn't matter. Individuals like this slap together a game. Put it up. Get a number of sales. get reported, then get taken down.

    This happened on IOS App store, Android and so on etc. Heck anyone remember arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/02/fake-pokemon-yellow-rises-to-no-3-position-on-itunes-app-charts

    heck the game wasn't even a game. it was a single picture.

    It really doesn't matter. The individual likely won't get sued either.

  • you could also do a style similar to

    Group: Cutscene

    var scene_time;

    var scene_start;

    On Function "StartScene"

    scene_time = time;

    scene_start = time;

    On every Tick

    scene_time = time - scene_start;

    // and now the meat of the scene

    if scene_time < 0

    One while true then set camera to left side

    if scene_time < 10

    One while true then change door frame to open. have lady walk in from left to right

    if scene_time < 15

    One while true then stop lady in front of desk

    if scene_time < 16

    One while true then start lady talking about her cheating husband

    this way you have a time set of sequence to create a time based cut scene.

  • Another update. WOW. and your now matching textures based on objects. Oh my oh my. This is shaping up.

  • appchogie

    I think you miss interpreted his request. He is asking if a sound/music file will play through layout changes.

    deerob4

    Have you tried just playing a sound on repeat(i suggest a music file) then changing the layout.

    However keep in mind that on IOS sounds won't play until a touch even occurs.
