  • I'm just using a function since all my groups will be made the same way.

    This is a prefab. It's been on the wish list since the beginning.

  • I'm seeing Arial used a lot...

  • Firefox ran as usual, a janky 54-60 fps.

  • It went to software rendering, at 3 fps.

    A copy of the gpu report:

    My system is somewhat older, but not ancient. The final driver update was in 2016.

    I run on an older system to ensure that what I produce will work on older systems.

    I understand this extreme of a change for mobile, but for desktop it is heavy handed.

  • Anybody had their WebGl turned off in Chrome recently?

    Im not sure why but some update must have either disabled "Override software rendering list", or my system put it into the blocked list. Im pretty sure it always worked out of the box.

    I checked Edge and the same thing happened there, which makes no sense since they have different update schedules. The only reason that could happen is if it was a Windows 10 update, which also makes no sense.

    Anyway the fix was: flags , Override software rendering list

    This is freakishly scary when you plan on selling something that may suddenly stop working without warning...

  • Use clamp() with viewport left, right, top, bottom.

  • Hypnospace Outlaw.

  • I've noticed a nice increase of Construct games on Xbox in the past year, there's even one in Game Pass.

    So it's obviously still a target for developers, of course we have no way to tell how they got there.

    I'd hate to think that using a third party is going to wind up being the only way.

  • I imagine you might have to keep the bounding box for cell detection.

  • Tween, Timers, Move To, Drawing Canvas, Functions.

    I would spend a lot of time on those.

    Then hammer the Json object, and its format into their brains.

    The Timeline, and Scene Graph features are nice, but somewhat niche, along with Tile movement.

    The new Mesh distorts will be a game changer. Literally.

  • Asked and answered. It will take the use of swapping textures, and a lot of experimentation to do so.

    There are no specific templates, or demo's because it's not a recommended thing to do.

  • If you're thinking of drawing one big image the length of the layout, or making a composite by adding new objects that just add to the amount of ram used, and that ram exceeds what the user's hardware can afford, then yes that won't work. That's not how games, and even computers work.
