  • Global variables can be turned into constants.

    Use them as labels.

    Example capx

    Also, enabling/disabling groups is not the only way to do stuff.

    As you can see in the example a simple variable check allows you to make events for a certain "state".

    You also now have the "Function" plugin to call/execute specific bits of code from an action. It was recently added, so most of the examples in the forums don't (yet) implement it much.

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "non-trivial" program though.

  • OneHerO: It's like in the beginner's guide save your images as PNGs and import them in the animation editor.

    Have a look at some more tutorials maybe (Asteroid clone in less than 100 events, how to make a platform game, ...)

    For more questions check the How do I forum as well as the How do I FAQ.

  • This was also reported a few days/weeks ago.

    You can also fix it normally by going into the preferences dialog and clicking the button "Reset dialogs".

  • OneHerO: you can. You'll just have to pay attention to the final download size but tools are provided to help with it.

  • neor1326: How to install plugins and behaviors make sure to copy the behavior in the exporter/HTML5/behavior folder, not /plugin and do it before opening the capx.

  • Thanks.

  • Well post your capx, we might investigate it, see if it does the same on other computers.

    What are your computer specs ? (hardware, OS and browser used)

    Maybe the capx can be fixed or there is matter for a bug report to ASHLEY.

  • XP isn't the better choice for C2 imo, but it's still better than nothing and I know it's not always possible to upgrade to better hardware/software.

    Ajnytime you have the opportunity to switch to a more recent computer and win7, don't hesitate ^^

    For the loading issue, maybe try pressing F5 or ctrl+F5 to force reload. The browser might then catch the local server and display the game correctly.

  • Try to upgrade your graphic card drivers and also go to the preferences dialog and click "Reset dialogs".

    Hope this helps.

  • A program like C2 can never be as good as pure programming skills. C2 is a tool for creating little games, not triple A titles. So far there are only little "mini games" made with C2 out there. No games, which you could sell for 30$ or more.

    Well, there isn't a triple A released "yet".

    To view it only as "little games making" though is passing by a lot of the true potential of the software. There hasn't been a "killer app" out yet, but HTML5 itself only stabilised around last month.

    With enough time, effort and mastering of C2 a "30$ game" will be released someday (sooner than you might think I believe).

    There could be indeed improvements to be made to the events sheet and "programming" aspect of C2 and Ashley has always delivered on this even if he'd took some time.

    So far it always have been worth the wait and the recent "Function" plugin has really changed the playfield.

    Functions have a scope, they are defined in the active event sheet and picking is to be done within the function to be effective.

    Passing UIDs as parameters is a viable solution.

  • Thanks rexrainbow added to the lists.

  • wizopizo: Indeed there is a bug that makes it so that embedded youtube videos don't display correctly in the Tutorials when using FireFox.

    For informations about making a title screen/menu you can also check my Asteroid clone in less than 100 events tutorial (written content, available capx, game in the arcade).

    Also if you use the "Edit post" option from the dropdown menu "Post options", you can avoid double posting which is always nicer in forums.

  • Put the check if the key exists as sub event of a "On start of layout".

    Also you should "gather" your action sin a single "Every tick" event, it's better for vision and allows you to "free" events if you're using the free version.

  • Nimtrix: Thank you a lot, links added.

    If you have more, keep them coming <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Just look at any game in the arcade, those are games made with C2.

    Lastly I've noticed this pretty game and there is still the "old" battle shops which is a kind of game like the one you linked.

    So yes, C2 can do the same kind of game without problem.
