  • Just wanted to post a running series of workshops (https://nettemple.thinkific.com/) that I will be hosting for newbies and beginners. I realize a lot of this type of info is out there free but in my own experience, I was always frustrated when first learning because of different styles, opinions and poor communication on simple concepts. I would have gladly paid for LIVE feedback to help me better understand and avoid the frustrations of early adoption.

    My pitch for beginners would be: You'll get LIVE instruction, immediate feedback to help you understand, and we'll attempt to soundly understand rather than just simply implement (and I have been a professor at a top design school who ranks among the top in Video Game Majors for many years).

    I only accept a maximum of 5 students per session so you will get individual time and attention.

  • Would it be appropriate to post this a "newbies area" as well? nT

  • I put this one together as a freebie for my (NetTemple/SCAD) students - but it is only the Plug-Ins, Behaviors and Effects windows. Its not so much a cheatsheet rather a roadmap where to find things for newbies.

    Mainly because in the beginning they don't know where to find the things they are looking for - until they get oriented to the UI and all of the different levels (excuse the promo text).

    You can get the pdf version here: s3.amazonaws.com/thinkific-import/177739/bnZxCvSBQNQmT11fywFM_construct3cheatsheet-1562363417733.pdf

  • i.e.

    You can not put a condition "At the application closed ..."

    Because if the application is closed then no action is possible.

    You have to put your backup actions on the conditions that close your application.

    Example:

    If bouton_quitter is pressed then:

    - save

    - close app

    :) C3 read the actions in the order so you just have to do the backup action before closing the application, that's all :) I hope you helped;)

    and sample CP3 (r153) file here. Hope this helps?

  • restarted - works now in browser but silent in iOS (on iPhone) - this is a simple "test" file. I simply added one object to click and a simple sound should play? hmmm

  • Once the die stops and a number is selected, do you want a player to move? Also do you want the roll to be a random result everytime (0-6)? I may hack together a simple demo...

  • trying to help but I only see three levels (and you ref 7 and 8?) Did you dropbox the correct file?

  • I did a simple export to HTML 5. Uploaded to server, and all I get is a blank black screen when trying to preview? Any suggestions? I did upload to several different domains to test with no luck. When I preview from Construct (before exporting) everything works fine. This is the r148 release. Also I have done this many times with other projects in the past without this issue. Hopefully it is something I simply zoning out on and there is a simple fix. Also it is a very simple shell, not a complicated game to this point.

  • Im creating a game that has a sort of "Cookie Clicker" feature but the counter variable (clickCount = ClickCount +1) does not keep up with the rapid clicking. Is there any way to make the click count more representative or accurate of the actual clicks? Thank you in advance.

  • Once I get the bones of the site set up, I will reply back... dM

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I posted this in a different area and the moderator suggest I post it here:

    I want to create a list of Construct developers interested in helping beginning (and experienced I suppose) game developers on an "issue by issue" (or full game dev support). I teach game development classes, workshops, etc and many times participants are looking for streamlined real-world help, beyond the forums - especially as they go beyond the workshops and are on their own. In most cases they will need a quick C3P file with code and primitive assets that demonstrate the VERY specific (not full gaming solution) solutions they are after. This would be PAID assistance (hourly, case by case, etc.) and not expected to be free.

    If not, feel free to post contact info in here or send directly to me at dave[a]musicpax.com (if acceptable by the forum monitors) - I will compile the list and make it publicly available.

    NOTE: I have experienced many students who feel lost or intimidated by the answers they receive in the forums. Keep in mind, many beginners need real samples or complete "issue" solutions, not simply advanced concepts and snippets with the expectation or assumption that they can implement as an experienced or advanced programmer would. I am not referring to complete templated solutions rather concepts that they original conceive, but can not get over the hump.

    When posted in the GENERAL area, I received teaching philosophy opinions - I am not looking for this. I simply want to create a very simple site that displays a list of developers (w contact) who are willing to help solve specific issues with C3P file samples and they in turn get paid a modest fee. I will be determining the details of the payment structure and amounts and send all who are interested the details. It will be opt-in and you wont be hounded with emails.

    For the record, I did a search in Upwork and received "zero" results.
