  • There is literally no difference where you start. C2 and C3 have exactly the same workflow. As a beginner you probably won't use any of third party plugins or any of advanced stuff, so you can go ahead and start with C3.

    Irbis no idea bro.

    I used cocoon.io once or twice before they came up with their idiotic payment plan... But it was shit, well for me anyways. Long hours of waiting for their system to build my app (imagine like 2-7 hours between uploading a zip file and downloading apk file), and even then stuff never worked properly. I've always had better results and literally no problems with XDK, all plugins always worked, maximum waiting time was less than 5 minutes - for me it was actually lot faster to upload each new game test version to XDK than using dumb "Preview on LAN" which never show true game stats on mobiles... Anyways. XDK is no more from what I heard/read so all you have now is manual process of converting html5 to apk or use Phonegap. Don't know if they are other means and even don't care anymore. Like I wrote in some other post , They abandoned C2 just like they abandoned CC. difference was that we actually paid for stuff in C2 that never came, and from what i can see C3 is no different, so good luck with your stuff mate!

  • I made mine over a year ago for something I was working on.... But just downloaded the one Gigatron made and he made it a bit different.

    So if you want here's my version of it shinkan_DropShadow but probably they do work the same way

  • I made a small shader some time ago. If you apply it to the object than it will cast shadow on top of other object based on Z position.

    But, also you can apply it to the layer and get something like this

    Never published it, cause I don't think it's finished (visible parameters do work as intended), If you want I can give it to you for a test ride

    EDIT: woah! sorry I did not expect those images to be that big..

  • Handy, Thanks!

  • It's been already mentioned in a sticky by me some time ago.

    But glad you made it as a new post, people tend to forget to look inside sticky posts.

  • bump

  • Could someone please re upload this plugin, please?

  • nope, neither scirra nor NWjs do anything to protect your assets - Like you said it's just dumb zip file that can be open by anyone with two mouse clicks. Instead they will just keep telling you that if someone want your files they will eventually get it.

    Would it be possible to add an option to make a split screen games in C3 natively?

    I mean for now we can do it using paster by pasting all the object into it and set many other things which can get a bit tedious and complicated.

    I'm not an expert but my question is: Would rendering it natively (half of the screen render one part of the layout, other half render different part of the layout), be better performance wise from using paster and events? Just a question.

  • R0J0hound Hey, thanks for those articles. Very a nice read. Didn't go deep into the capx yet but it looks like that's exactly what I was trying to do.

    Thank You again.
