  • Apparently node.js is cancer

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Ah, the original size is 83x80, seems it doesn't look as good upscaled. Doesn't bother me that much.

  • And while you are at node.js, throw mongodb in as well!

  • What about AJAX GET-ter? File reading is highly requested, but I don't think anyone has managed to get it working.

  • + for "Y" from 0 to 9
++ for "X" from 0 to 1

    create object at 90+loopindex("X")*90, loopindex("Y")*100

    This will create 20 objects in two columns.

  • Assuming the image is 600Kb in PNG format and 150Kb in JPG format, the JPG still takes the same amount of memory as PNG image.

    Of course, it would be nice to be able to load JPGs in Construct 2, I'm just repeating arguments that were thrown around. Besides, Construct 2 compresses PNGs. The savings may not be that great, though.

  • When JPG gets loaded, it is decompressed within memory and becomes essentially the same as PNG. The only advantage of JPG is that it saves disk space.

  • JPG is a lossy format, meaning that whenever you compress to JPG, you lose some of image's quality. It is best used for photographs and other images that use a lot of colors and are more diverse.

    PNG is lossless format (no quality loss) and is best used for images with fewer and more uniform, best used for graphics such as web buttons.

  • Yep. In fact, from the sounds of it, it'll teach you advanced programming knowledge. If you already have some basic programming knowledge, the college can offer you a lot more than "just" Unity3D skills.

  • Well, your project uses a behavior that I don't have (MoveTo), so I can't open the capx.

    Expression bar in editor disappears? Try reinstalling Construct 2.

  • Wordpress formats the pasted text, removing any potentially malicious code. So yeah, no javascripts, no PHP, no such things. Embeds, I'm not sure about...

  • In regard to 5th issue, I realize that you may not be able to insert scripts and such into Wordpress posts. You may need a Wordpress plugin that enables you to add code snippets (insecure!) OR create a custom page template for the game itself (recommended, though it requires some HTML/Wordpress know-how).

  • Oops, forgot to sync the dropbox folder. Should be available now.

    Note to self: don't work past midnight. And don't feed the gremlins any meat.

  • <font color=red>Update!</font>

    I've added encode and decode expressions for Base64 string encoding/decoding. Base64 is a highly useful encryption method that prepares data for sending over HTTP protocol. It also has other uses, such as obfuscation.

  • I could do with a family, cute and clever girls drom me a PM.
