  • OK, sure Ashley! This could of course be something to be left to the event sheet.

  • As I said before, the problem is is that Google Chrome has noticeably better performance in the general aspects of HTML5. I am certainly not going to direct users away from it, especially seeing it is now the #1 web browser in terms of popularity.

    I suppose we can do nothing except for getting people to star the issue. Perhaps it would be worth lots of us e-mailing the Chrome representative who has been CC'd the issue (you can see it on the bug report page).

  • All right, I managed to achieve it with invisible collision objects. However perhaps Ashley could consider adding this as an official feature?

  • That would work, however the problem lies in finding the angle of the wall relative to the player, since my game is gravity-shifting and rotating.

    And still, this doesn't seem to be the best way to solve the problem, I am sure there would be issues...

  • This isn't in the bugs section because I am not sure it is a bug.

    Basically, I have noticed that a platform-enabled object will 'stick' to walls of an incredibly steep slope (anything short of vertical). This is a big problem as most people don't want their players being able to make their way up cliffs.

    Here's an example. Totally default behaviors in a new project.

    It gets even more insane!

    Is there any way to fix this manually? Or could Scirra implement a solution? Because I am sure this is not what 99% of platform games need!

  • Hmm. So would you suggest removing my webstorage high score features, and going with Kongregate's API alone for the sake of continuity?

  • OK, so my question is this:

    are Kongregate statistics tied to the player's account (I suppose they are)?

    In that case, if a player is on another computer (or even clears their cache!) the stored statistics will be incogruent with the Kongregate statistics!

    So if the above is true, then does Kongregate itself notify the player if they have beaten their high score?

  • Bump - received no reply.

    Adding to the topic: If webstorage is used, then a user on a different browser or a different PC would not have their highscores saved: a big problem if Kongregate statistics are tied to login details.

    So, I need to know if we can retrieve statistics for a user. If not, does Kongregate's API work well enough that we do not even need highscore feedback in our game? If it alerts the user to a new high score, then I suppose I could just remove the highscore notifications from within the game.

  • R0J0hound, you have done it again. Many thanks.

    Kyatric this would be good for the FAQ I'm sure.

  • I don't think that would work, because you need to consider the angle of both portals as well...

    hmm...

  • I just added some portals to my platformer game. However I want to achieve proper redirection of vectors (speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out)

    The portals are side on (as in, attached to the walls.

    All I need is direction/advice on the trig I need to do.

  • mercy

    Thanks for trying it out!

    Regarding the laser, how would you make it more spectacular? Also yellow particles are unfortunately a no-no. To complete the game's atmosphere, it is entirely monochromatic and any yellow particles would be out of place.

    Regarding the enemies: I am not an artist. I am very, very bad at animating, and chose the game based off my abilities. I wouldn't really be able to pull of what you said.

    Regarding the HUD: What do you mean? also you can press shift to hide the HUD (turn the layer to zero opacity).

    EDIT: also, how long did you play? to get up to level 6 should be quite difficult...

    Maybe I need to make it a bit harder to activate the lift?

  • Yep, this would make a great tutorial.

  • Kyatric Really? Even recently I have tested my game in Firefox, it is extremely laggy and the webGL rendering is blurry.

  • Ha-ha I never thought of that!

    Ah well I did not think it was a very good idea anyway - just sprang into my head ;) .
