  • Haha wow, those are some dodgy terms.

    It's justified by the prize though I guess.

  • Adding private variables would be nice; more control over private variables at runtime - and a better system - has been planned for 2.0.

  • It works if you do it on any other tick than the start of layout one.

    I think this is a bug, so submit it to the tracker .

  • They all have 'destroy on startup' attribute ticked.

  • You could put the sprite in a container with a hash table and do it easily that way.

  • Besides, even if it did represent a problem - which from the wording I'd doubt - someone who has a non student copy could simply compile Construct.

  • Ah I see, that does make sense actually. You could manually name them that by hand though.

  • If you use the family manager, you can ensure there's no variable messups or objects without a family variable.

    Sadly yes, it means you can't sell anything you create with any Dreamspark program.

    It's explained better here (the above wording would be open to question on its own):

    A. This software is being provided to students for non-commercial use in particular academic activities. Pricing for commercial uses varies by channel and the associated rights, but products for non-academic use by non-students would typically be hundreds of dollars or more.

  • Indeed, showed alot of cool stuff!

  • After discussing feature requests here - and generally, if it's agreed it's a good idea (and we think it's doable!) - you can submit it to the SourceForge feature request tracker, so it's not forgotten in time, and will eventually be gotten around to (hopefully).

    This is also the place to put very small additions or niggles which don't really require a thread, but which you might normally reply to a thread over. The small things are important, and this ensures that they can be dealt with efficiently.

  • Try Construct 3

  • FatCow doesn't appear to have ruby, and the pay as you go thingy looks to be expensive for 100gb .

    DreamHost ticks all the boxes but I have heard negative things about it, I'll have to re look into them.

  • This also goes for hosts who offer 100% uptime or unlimited bandwidth; it's impossible to offer either .

  • I'm wary of very cheap hosts, 5 dollars for what we want sounds too cheap, to sound pedantic..

    I'd rather we picked a large reputable host with very few complaints and a price which doesn't seem unrealistic.
