  • Unfortunately Windows RT isn't dead, the newly announced Surface 2 uses it.

    Sydious just a heads up that performance on the Surface RT is currently the worst out of all our target platforms. I recommend testing on hardware early and often if going with it.

  • We haven't yet but we will be.

  • Blacksmith —

    Thanks guys!

    gillenew it's only on Windows 8 and Windows Phone at the moment. iOS release is very soon ;)

  • makariosousta I'm not sure how the back button works at all. You're not even using the project included in the plugin.

    Make sure you follow the tutorial step by step, in particular Exporting the project.

    ncluded in the Windows Phone Plugin for Construct 2 is a ready-exported project that we just need to drop the relevant exported files into. Never export directly from Construct 2 into this project otherwise vital files will be overwritten. I generally have two folders, one for the project and one for the exported files. Then I just copy what I need from the exported folder to the Windows Phone 8 project folder, helping to ensure nothing important gets overwritten.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • If you PM me your exported Windows Phone project I'll take a look.

  • Check out the Back button section of the Windows Phone tutorial.

    Notice the Windows Phone 'Quit' event.

    Hope that helps :)

  • Arima yeah it's nuts. This is all a bit of an accident too - we submitted 'Mortar Melon Classic' as an interim build whilst we transfer 'Mortar Melon' over to our publishers. It was supposed to be low-key, then we got featured and everything spiraled out of control.

  • Hey guys, just a quick update. We're now at nearly 700k downloads and currently sitting at #1 in the US :)

  • jeremy yep, please send the exported project as a zip file and the .capx file to my email address and I'll take a look. Upload to Dropbox or something similar if too big.

  • jeremy oops only just saw this by accident. Use thehen to ensure I get notifications.

    If you PM me a build I'll happily take a look.

  • Ashley that's brilliant, thanks very much. Scaling itself is fine, it's more that certain elements need to be adjusted on smaller/larger displays.

    For example on a mobile screen, our circular buttons need to be slightly larger than the thumb. When that scales up uniformly onto the iPad they become far too big.

    Using this expression I can make adjustments that work across all Android, iOS devices and even retina monitors on laptops etc.

    E.g.

    iPad

    iPad 1

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 1024

    1024 / 1 = 1024

    iPad 2

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 1024

    1024 / 1 = 1024

    iPad 3

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 1024

    2048 / 2 = 1024

    iPad 4

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 1024

    2048 / 2 = 1024

    iPad Mini

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 1024

    2048 / 2 = 1024

    iPhone

    iPhone 1

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    320 / 1 = 320

    iPhone 3G

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    320 / 1 = 320

    iPhone 3GS

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    320 / 1 = 320

    iPhone 4

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    640 / 2 = 320

    iPhone 4S

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    640 / 2 = 320

    iPhone 5

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    640 / 2 = 320

    iPhone 5C

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    640 / 2 = 320

    iPhone 5S

    ScreenWidth / devicePixelRatio == 320

    640 / 2 = 320

  • We need the business license, but then we won it, so all's good :)

  • jeremy if you upload an html export and run in the Windows Phone browser does it work? Sounds like it may be an Windows Phone web worker issue.

  • Or are you confused by the fact that you can not use one object as a parent if the other objects are already in a container?

    I know I am.

    Exactly! :)

  • newt I'm not sure I follow.

    Say you have two motorbike objects (red and green) and a single character object. If you add the character object to the red motorbike container, you can not add it to the green motorbike container.

    The use case is hypothetical but explains my conundrum.
