    The mersenne twister is weak for many reasons, equivalent keys, low apparent randomness if the seed contains too many zeroes, it isn't cryptographically secure (it has been bruteforced) and it cannot easily

    I request a plug-in which uses 16-round TEA in CTR mode with the second 32-bit number dropped ( javascript only has 53-bit precision anyway).

  • Oohhh. Thanks.

  • Aren't sprites only square? As an example, can you create an invisible sprite in the shape of a triangle?

  • How do I create a clickable world map? When I click the transparent portions of a sprite, it still triggers the mouse event on left click. I see no easy way to avoid this.

  • Problem Description

    Delta Time Doesn't Work as Expected

    Attach a Capx

    Done.

    Description of Capx

    Supposed to be a framerate independent increase over time.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    Observed Result

    Supposed to be a framerate independent increase over time. However switching to another tab does increase wallclocktime as expected, but delta time doesn't seem to be accumulating properly. I have created a work around though with my own delta time variable using wallclocktime.

    Construct 2 Version ID

    R178

    The free edition isn't limited to 30 days - it lasts forever.

    You can make small games in 100 events. I'm sorry if that's a difficult limit for you, but we can't give away the full software for free, otherwise it wouldn't exist at all! No paid edition, no free edition, no Construct 2 at all. So I'm afraid we have to stick with what we've done so we can keep developing it.Ashley2011-12-15 18:04:49

    Construct 2 is biased against strategy games, given that global variables count as an event.

    One could do a work around using arrays, but global variables are included in the drop down list, thus making it more intuitive to use global variables as opposed to a dictionary or array object.

  • there are SO many music people out there that could create custom music for your game, probably for free!

    situational

  • http://raceintospace.org/

    It's open source, so it's space-age music is free for re-use.

    Pretty sure you'll still have to credit race into space when you use the music though.

    I'd like a plugin that is essentially a drop in replacement for random(), except it uses the crypto.API.

    Basically, the sorts of random numbers that would be useful in a multiplayer game.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I see. Thank you.

  • Apparently wasn't aware.

    Although, the news does change. How would I handle multiple news items without each text object overlapping each other?

  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... nt/marquee

    While not a web standard, it is fairly standardized at this point and unlikely to change.

    I'd like to be able to insert a left to right- marquee into my game.

    News ticker.

    It's a semi-strategy incremental game.

  • Just floating an idea I have for my own website.

    All arcades on the internet take a very large slice of the advertising pie. I propose to undercut them, I will take only 10%.

    If php's LCG outputs less than 0.1, it will insert my adcode into the page. Else, it will insert your adsense adcode into the page.

    PHP's lcg's properties are random enough for non-cryptographic use, such as for this. The LCG is seeded with the process ID and the microtime.

    Any interest?

    I reserve the right of review, and the only way you could send me your game is by a zip of the exported game.

    Obviously your game will be displayed within an iframe, and the iframe must be of a reasonable size. This is obviously oriented towards desktop HTML5 games.

  • Noob question: what's the deal with PHP? Is it important to games?

    Sorry for missing your question.

    PHP helps with website design. I use it for my website to insert links at the bottom of a page, it's better than iframes. Some tutorials on scirra even mention php to store high scores.

    I only suggested vlexofree because I had a good experience with the administration they have. It's very high quality for a free website. Pair it with a short domain and cloudflare (free CDN), and you'd have half decent bandwidth.
