  Can't remember where I first heard about Construct, but the first time I looked at it (maybe 12-18 months ago), I couldn't be bothered to actually learn about it. So it stayed unused and eventually uninstalled. Cropped up again because I was reading about Game Editor, and part of my searching to do with that came up with Construct. So here I am.

  Till the next build, when some important and silly things are fixed. Shouldn't be long.

  Sensible idea! Is the next release purely bug fixes this time around?

  I'm not sure I follow why a Sonic game would be so different from any other platformer...

  Would Deadeye's platformer tutorials be of any use?

  I dunno, I find the idea of using OGRE via Python bindings rather interesting...

  From Googling I do get the impression WINE has issues with Prof-UIS, yes...

  Changing that value makes no difference whatsoever. Setting the Theme option to 0 seems to get a little further along before it crashes.

  Looking at a crash log it talks a lot about WineX11 and XRender.

  My understanding is that it is DirectSound that's the issue. If you're using the XAudio plugin, you should be all right.

  It's a possibility.

  Well, WINE no longer complains about OpenGL features when it crashes Construct (0.98.6). Just complains about the X11 renderer now.

  Dunno if that's an improvement though. If it's just a WINE bug that's keeping Construct from working(ish), then that's at least something.

  Thanks for that one! Going to take a look at the Platform stuff Deadeye's done too - looks like a hitbox is a good idea.

  In the test stuff I'm doing, I've got an invisible sprite marker called Start. On the start of the layout Construct is told to move a sprite to its X and Y position. However, this doesn't work. I suspect I'm doing something dumb but have no idea what. Can someone explain to me what I should do?
