  • I am aware of an inversion in the Y-axis... if you look carefully at the snapshot of code above, you will notice a "640 - Mouse.Y" instead of a "Mouse.Y" being used. I have always wanted to implement shaders that follow wherever your mouse goes regardless of whatever layerscale you are currently on. But there are some... issues with Construct 2 code.

    Trust me, I have tried explaining before but to no avail. Hopefully, Ashley can see what we mean soon, or at least give us shader effect developer guidelines. I don't want to have to live through another "Adele Dazeem" type of reply. Guess, he's rather busy atm with multiplayer. So let him be. (- I need multiplayer too)

    Take a look my existing code. It's seems to be working fine in the version that I released.

  • In case any one does ask, the shader zip file is still absolutely free for the Scirra 2 community. If you want the zip file, just head over to our Patreon page, select to become a patron and choose "No Reward". You pay nothing - $0. Zip. Nada. And you get access to all our stuff put up on Patreon for free. But, really it's entirely up to you.

    Again, thanks for your interest in this shader effect, and most importantly... have fun with it. We know we are using it in our next game - an action shooter.

  • Yes it does... Looks really cool too! Will paste an image shortly.

    [EDIT] Below is the image I spoke about... the sprites in the foreground have been deleted... while the tiled background uses the spaceship, and the tilemap uses the default tilemap that ships with Construct 2. You can see that the upper left hand corner of the tilemap is lighted up, and so is the tiled background. I have also modified the code so that the position of the light is responsive to the position of my mouse arrow.[/EDIT]

  • As advertised I hope... let me try it out now and get back to you.

  • Made some changes to the demo program. You can now toggle the background between black and white. This is to illustrate that even with transparency, the normal mapping works. Please refresh browsers if you have already visited the site.

    Thanks.

  • We have released shader effect #11 - Normal Mapping. Please head over to our website to see the demo in action.

    Thanks!

  • We have just updated links to all our games. We have also added a demo link to the games for of one our clients. Read more by following the link in the first post of this thread.

  • 1. Open up Construct 2.

    2. Click the C2 icon at upper left.

    3. Click on About.

    4. When the window pops up, click on View License.

    It should read: "This is a standard license, for independent use by the above named individual up to an associated use revenue of 5000 USD, or educational, charity or otherwise non-commercial use. Use outside of these bounds is prohibited."

    As I understand it, go ahead and use the artwork, sound assets, etc. As long as you make 5000 USD or less and are not part of an organization/company.

    And you cannot use C2 graphics in say RPG Maker VX Ace or GameMaker (and vice versa, obviously).

  • Here is MATHS MASHUP - an arithmetic game from GamesWarp Studio. Targeted at kids from 1 to 92, especially those who want to brush up on basic maths.

    Tiles will fall downward, like in a typical match 3 game, after the desired result is obtained. Use one of the mathematical symbols and plant it somewhere on the grid. Only single digits are used in the equation, so if you place a PLUS symbol between a row of 1234 and 5678, then the result obtained is 4 + 5 = 9. Horizontal and vertical equations are in play, diagonals are not.

  • As requested, here is the Textured Tunnel shader effect.

    Enjoy the vertigo as you gaze at the spinning tunnels that come with this shader. Head over here to see the textured tunnel effect over at http://gameswarp.com/studio/?p=333.

    You can download the effect from there for free. Do remember though that you have got to do a modification to the Sprite plugin for the Textured Tunnel shader. The instructions are all explained on our web page.

    Thanks!

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Yes, it is possible. I have achieved a repeating textured tunnel.

    BUT

    You will have to do an unofficial modification to your Sprite plugin. Just need to open it with a text editor and toggle a couple of boolean variables. However, this may affect your work in other areas.

    If you need this badly, I can teach you how in GS #10.

  • Let me see what I can do...

  • We're back with another shader effect - the tunnel mask.

    Mask your background image with two spirals that spin - creating a tunnel effect. Head over here to see the tunnel mask effect over at http://gameswarp.com/studio/?p=329. You can download the effect from there for free.

    Thanks!

  • Yup.

    But, if you want to "make new shaders" literally... go learn how to use Heroku or Shadertoy too.

    Just take someone's prior work and play around with the equations, tweaking constants or changing stuff. Go ahead and change sines into cosines... throw in a tangent here and there. Use a 'plus' instead of a 'minus', and so on.

    Plus don't forget to read the OpenGL manual over at opengl.org/sdk/docs/man
