  • Still struggling with this.

    Have tried BunnehBoy 's suggestion but now I just end up with the snake not only growing a section of body he also grows another body too!

    Has anybody else got any ideas?

  • I thought it would be something like that.

    Any chance you could show me exactly what i would need to change?

    Thank you for your (second serious) speedy response

  • I knew i'd end up with a response like that!

  • This is driving me mad!

    Trying to make a simple snake type game where the mouse cursor controls the snake.

    I have followed an excellent tutorial on how to get the snake to have multiple sections and I love how the snake moves around the screen.

    I'm really struggling with how to get the snake to grow by 1 segment each time he eats an apple.

    I have a global variable called "SnakeLength" That sets the length of the snake on the start of the layout and then I have an event that when an apple is eaten it adds +1 to "SnakeLength" but this does not affect the length of the snake during the game?????

    If anybody would be willing to take a look at my .capx https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/155402113/Mouse_Snake.capx and see how i can get my snake to grow I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you,

    Matt

    [quote:2195oxxy]Here is a tutorial and the capx for a snake version that is almost like slither.io - without the multiplayer part.

    I don't see a link to the tutorial and capx but would really like to see it?

  • If anybody would be willing to look at my project to see if the number of events could be condensed to make a more efficient project i'd really appreciate it.

    Thank you

  • I am having some real trouble with a nw.js project that I have been working on.

    The app works fine for a while but then for some reason the touch action suddenly stops and the whole thing loses it's functionality

    If anybody would be willing to take a look at my capx to see if I have made any glaring errors I would really appreciate it!?

    I was wondering whether or not I've got too many individual events but I wasn't sure how I could condense them?

    Thank you

  • AMAZING! Worked a treat!

    Thank you ever so much

    ...

  • Thank you.

    I will give this a try today and let you know how I get on

  • Hello,

    I was wondering if someone may be able to help me with a simple photo editor I am making.

    I have it so a user can upload an image and then edit it's appearance using an effect. This function work well when I use a button but what I really want is for the user to be able to scroll through the different effects using the right arrow key on the keyboard.

    Please have a look at my .capx https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/155402113/Photo_Edit.capx

    if you could offer any insight into what I have missed that is preventing this function from working correctly I would be very grateful.

    Many thanks...

  • Hello,

    I'm looking at how I can load a list from an external .txt file and add it to the contents of a dropdown box.

    I'm assuming i can use the File Chooser plugin, load the text file and then use the 'add item' action to add the list to the dropdown box?

    If anyone could guide me on how best to go about it I'd really appreciate it!

    Many thanks...

  • That's not really what I meant Jijin, I want it so when the user clicks on an empty textbox an on screen keyboard appears allowing them to enter some text without the need for a keyboard...

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I'm trying to get it so when a text box is selected, an on screen keyboard automatically appears...

    Is this function built into Construct2 or do i have to create one myself?

    Thanks...

  • Success, it would seem once you add the node web kit as an object you are then able to use the command "append file".

    I tried it with a .txt file and it worked. I'm not sure what other file types are supported...

  • Having spoke to another user it would appear that this is possible when using the Node-Webkit function. I'm going to explore that this week but if anyone could explain the process in more detail I'd really appreciate it!
