  • (comparison):Compare global variable mygvar=1, (action):set mygvar to 0

    That's it. That's all you need for a trigger.

    No "Every tick", no extra Boolean comparison.

    The next tick the variable will be different, and will not be run.

    Remember events run in event sheet order, so remaining events, in the same tick, will also see that value as different.

  • Oh how I wish Drawing Canvas did antialiased circles...

  • You could use the Advanced Random plug, Cellular, or Voronoi to generate systems.

    The z peaks would be the stars and planets.

  • That's Adsense for games. Regular Adsense is for anybody.

    Basically, for web based monetised games that can be played anywhere, there isn't much of an option as ad networks, and iap require tracking, and a secure host.

    Not to mention the metrics tracking they plan to sell to someone else...

  • You should probably think about video, or just go 3d.

  • The other ways of distribution are part of the "series" or episodic export(part one, part two, etc) I talked about earlier.

    That may also be an option if you are using lower spec hardware for editing.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • You figure out how much you plan to have in each layout based on your target audience, and platform, the total amount of size on disk is not relevant.

    You do have to figure out how it's going to be distributed if it is close to 10 gigs.

  • You figure out how much ram per layout you want to target for use, then you look at the files size on disk, and double that to know how much you can load per layout since C2 does layout loading, layout by layout.

    Keep in mind that the editor, and previews take up ram as well. You may have to plan on multiple exports, as a series if you go up in to the gigs.

  • You get exponential organic views at Newgrounds compared to all the other portals, but they don't seem to want to do a revenue share, even though they place ads on your games.

  • One issue with IAP is you have to have a backend, and that requires server storage, and that's a whole other can of worms.

    Speaking of currency, something like Facebook's Crypto currency might be a viable option.

    Screw bitcoin though, that stuffs toxic.

  • You can put Adsense on your own site, as long as it adheres to their placement policy.

    Not especially easy to do with a web game of course.

  • Might make a feature suggestion, or vote for this one:

  • Not really. There's a method to "overdraw" a bunch of sprites, but its not cost effective.

    It is possible in the future, and there have been a few third party plugs that do 3d, but something official is still way up in the air.

    On the other hand a voxel type object might be much easier to make than a full 3d environment.

  • Ok, maybe I was thinking of the 30 fps requests.
