  • Hi Sisyphus,

    Similar joints problem 196.2

    On my game i use distance joints to make a suspension for a vehicle. The asm.js engine makes a very weak spring action and the vehicle bottoms out all the time. There is a big difference in performance of the joints that require radically different settings for frequency and damping ratio in order to approximate the performance of the box2dweb engine.

  • Now i have double posted this...sorry everyone i am a noob at posting to the bug form. The other post has the updated capx's and the proper links and description. Again soryy for any confusion

  • Exported to Web Version with asm.js selected freezes. I dentical version with box2d selected works fine

    ____ A concise description of your problem here

    When i used asm.js selected as my physics engine in my project with r196.2 when i post it to my server the game will freeze

    The EXACT same exported web version with box2d selected as the physics engine works fine as can be observed in the two links below.

    Both versions when previewed in the editor work fine.

    When i used asm.js selected as my physics engine in my project with r196.2 when i post it to my server the game will freeze after you click "lets Jet" which is the button to start the 1st level.

    The EXACT same exported web version with box2d selected as the physics engine works fine as can be observed in the two links below.

    Both versions when previewed in the editor work fine, although i too noticed that the joints with the asm.js engine seem "floppy" or not as strong/stiff.

  • Hey R0J0hound...it took me all of 15 minutes to integrate this into my game and get it to register backwards and forwards 360's(negative and positive).

    It was easy to reset the total rotation to zero ready to measure the next flip etc. I can see how i could hold the count to also register 720's etc, but i think i'll just have a fading graphic (bullet behavior)at the completion of each 360 to replace the test text display in the pic.

    I never would have thought to use instance variables. Truthfully i also doubt my brain could have come up with the comparison thing either.. You saved me days of head scratching. I salute your most excellent brain and your community spirit. many thanks for your help!

  • Hi,

    I am a bit stuck on how to detect a 360 in a stunt car game i am working on(forward and backward). My first thought was to make a variable "stuntAngle" for the car body and try to detect when the wheels are not colliding with the ground and then just count when it reaches 360 degreees.....I monkeyed with that for a day and couldn't get the "wheels not colliding" thing working...ANYWAY, just thought id throw this out there in case someone with a better brain might have some better ideas on how to approach this. Dont need any code, just some ideas on how to tackle this....

    Off to work at job for money...will be thinking bout it all day! Send thoughts please.

  • Hi,

    I am trying to make a mobile side scrolling car game like Hillclimber and have a question about making the terrain for the vehicle to travel over.

    I have read quite a few performance topics in the forum and understand that big sprites take more memory, but you should also limit the number of sprites. I also understand that several small sprites with less collision points is better than one big sprite with lots of collision points.

    Confused a bit about which is more of a performance hit, a larger sprite, or more sprites.

    At present i have 1024 X 256 pixel sprites for each piece of terrain that i chain together to make the level, the screen size of the game is 1024 X 576, so there would only be one or two sprite calls per frame for the terrain... right?

    So my question is (before i try and make more levels) is should I make each piece of terrain smaller like 512 X 256 or less for better mobile performance?

    I just got my first smartphone a Nexus5 (yes i am a dinosaur), and i understand it has a pretty powerful processor, so the game on my phone runs just fine, i would like my game to run on maybe some less powerful phones.

    Hopefully i am making some kind of sense here, many thanks in advance if someone can clarify this or has any better ideas for implementing terrain for a game like this.

  • lerp...very interesting thanks!

  • Hi,

    I am making a game where the camera zooms out the faster you go so you can see more of the upcoming terrain.

    The layout has three different levels (layers) of parallax.

    My question is: Is it better to scale the layers individually or scale the the whole layout at once?

    Is there a marked difference in performance either way?

    Thanks... off to work!
