Pennington Games's Forum Posts

  • Thanks for posting great find!

  • I like working with vectors more than pixel type artworkposting to watch this thread.

  • I would recommend that you post it first as a work progress in the forum. Keep us updated with the interesting progessions as you go. Perhaps even posting mini ptreview games of the game on the arcade. Since you now have power to update your game as it grows this was not available prior.

    If you go this route you will have an audience already waiting for the full launch.

    This will also give you feedback as you are in progress. Nothing worse for you in this process than spend months on something you thought to be great. Only to discover players did not.

    Just my thoughts here . I also feel the arcade is improving and it would be good to work with it and give feedback to Scirra. So they can know how we feel about it and what would be better for us to showcase our games.

    Good luck to you!

  • Why not add an invisible dot at location one that can be connected from 6 in this example. then when that dot is connected go to your completion routine... window music flashing etc.....

  • personally Why not bookmaek and organize at the browsers? this is what I do.

  • Burvey I think you may be right I thought that using the command like on any key pressed with my above request would cover this. However I moved on to the any key pressed and while I can disable the windows built in screen capture I was unsuccessful in detecting a hotkey prior too it already grabbing the screenshot. That's a bummer. Thanks for Reply I am going to look further I now know it's not built in and will need some form of coding on my part so if I am going to code it mayve I can code a key press checking sytem that will go in front of other hotkeys.... Just rambling here LOL

  • Thanks Again space Ape.

    I tried a few other ways to achieve my deired result and of course hit walls there too :)

    I am curious about execute Javascript as perhaps my solution. I was researching browser focus and ca,e across this Demo that is what I want to do. In that demo the page goes black if browser loses focus. Even a right click on the status bar will invoke it. this could be perfect if I can understand how if at all possible to use.

  • Here is the sample I been working on it shows the last suggestion still not what I am thinking should happen.

    Again Thanks — always nice to get replies :)

  • Thanks for the reply I did see and try as you also have written prior to my posting the question.

    It seems this will only check for is the tab the game is on active. When tab is not active the game is not visible so no need for cover up. I want this to be when the actual browser is not in focus. Such as a screen capture software takes focus. and also will use on any key pressed to prevent shortcuts to launch a capture device.

    an example to test would be have game running and then open any window but only cover part of the browser. There should be a way to know the game is out of focus at that point. perhaps it is not in CS2 ability yet.

  • Hi I am trying to figure a way to when my browser is not in focus that I can make a different layout visible. For the purpose of not being able to capture the image with a screen capture....

    Idea is for an art gallerey that when focus is lost the screen goes black....

    Upon pressing any key the screen will go black....

    theory is two layers on visible as gallerey and controls to scroll through.

    Other being the black layer which will be on top but invisible until needed.

    So basicly I need to know if there is a way to check for the browser being in focus or not.

    Thanks I am working on this but do not see this feature?

  • Thanks onur I am looking at upgrading it soon I was hoping to learn the facebook plugin and perhaps begin with something as simple as this.

    For now the game needs a good intro

    More levels and complexity on the levels

    I was thinking a timer

    a hint button limited with recharge timer.

    I was disappointed at the size constraints on the arcade this makes me want to be able to zoom in so it can be seen better.

    And then Duh realized press r to restart is no good on most mobile.

  • I made a simple spot the difference game it can be seen here...

    scirra.com/arcade/example/11216/spotthedifference

    This game only has four events to make it!

    CapX is available from the arcade as well!Go to game demo here!

  • If not right click perhaps Wheel button

  • Hi I am just curious has anyone made a game for facebook. I would love to see one. Just to see how it comes across.

    Thanks!
