  • Perhaps the permissons are set wrong. I've never tried to load a HTML5-website in the emulator this way in an app but I wouldn't wonder when the emulator doesn't support loading html5-websites that way.

  • ad license: Just to clarify. I find it perfect as it is now.

    I'm just thinking about something voluntary like a christmas-donation or something similar at the end of a year also for C2. When I look at the spriter-project I'm convinced that people are willing to support software-projects that they really want or need for a better life.. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Things I wonder about C2

    1) C2 - game maker - website:

    For me the whole construct2-website says that construct2 is a "html5 game maker". That's probably true when opening c2 and marvelling at the interface but in my opinion constuct2 is a html5-creator and editorsoftware. It's a software to create "whatever" with the html5-technology - that is much more than creating "only" html5-games and I think the website can/should have an article to point out that not only html5-game-developement is possible.

    2) "no programming":

    The website says no programming required. I've read some other posts about this topic and I personally think that this statement is really wrong. When somebody uses construct, she/he programms (visually with events) nearly the whole time. I think "no coding" points the workflow much more better out.

    3) price - license:

    "only a one-off payment": As a customer this sounds perfect but when I think of the developement I can't imagine that this can go well in the future. Other companies take for bad-software more money in a year as c2 costs for lifetime.

    Perhaps something similar to the developement of Spriter can guarantee that the c2-developer(s) can stay as customer friendly with the licenses as they are now and he(they) has/have the ressources to focus on the developement.

    Just to think about it.. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle">

  • It's possible with a group. You can create a disabled group "myGroup" and put the actions there + as last action: disable group "myGroup" - all actions in a blank event in the group.

    At both touch events create the action set group "myGroup" enabled

    The groups actions are system actions.. ;)

  • I've written a tutorial about that - remember values of instance variables - to keep it simple i've used a global text variable for storing, array is certainly better and should work similar.

    remember values of instance variables

  • Create a family for them (-not in the free I think-) and do the eventing for that.

    One possibility to reuse code is including eventsheets.

  • Maybe you have different browser renderers enabled: webgl and canvas2d. You can check it with a c2 system expression: renderer

  • 3) Array seems to be good for the first quiz but not for the updating or reusing the app with other questions and answers. If for you it's programmatically possible load the values(questions/answers) with the AJAX-Plugin or maybe with the load JSON Plugin from a external textfile.

    pro: Think once and make hundreds of quizzes all with different questions and answers.

    con: Requires little coding in php or javascript or

    with luck the load JSON plugin fits to your wishes - then there should be no con. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

    I've already made some apps both ways (JSON/Javascript and JSON/PHP) - so I can tell you it's possible. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

  • In a plugin:

         exps.NewLine= function (ret, line1, line2)

         {

              ret.set_string(line1+"\n"+line2);

         };

    in c2: set text to myPlugin.NewLine("first line", "second line")

    ________

    In construct:

    set text to ("line1"&Newline&"line2")

    The word Newline isn't a text/string.

  • Can you link your plugin?

  • Have a look at the Call Javascript plugin.

  • Very cool. Now it's propable possible to save and load images in simple textfiles.. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • If you own a license this should be easier possible with a family containing all three buttons.

  • Try Construct 3

  • A textbox gives you Text when you read it's output. If you want to get a number written in the textbox you have to 'change' the type of the value. If you want integers then it's possible with the expression: int(nameOfTheTextbox.Text) --> you get the integer, float works similar for decimalnumbers..

    the opposite: if you want to write a number in the textbox you can do this with set Text and the expression: str(4) or with 4&"" --> both make numers to text/strings
