  • Pantaloons I've still got to add a section to my tutorial explaining about the appmanifest. Open the file WMAppManifest.xml under the properties folder to change tiles/title etc.

  • Ashley official Kinect plugin? ;)

    My mind boggles at how that would even work.

  • akumaGouki this looks brilliant - very professional. Congrats!

  • DarKeX nope, HTML5 support on Windows Phone 7 is very poor. Even a basic game wouldn't run.

  • Really can't wait for this :D

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the plugin - it solved my problem here when trying to get a multidimensional dictionary to work. Great help!

  • Yann hmm I see what you mean. My problem is mapping a JSON array to a dictionary/object. Looks like I'll have to flatten it serverside and remap which is a pain.

    Edit -> ooh I've just noticed there's regex system expressions in the latest build! Pretty sure I can get something working using those :D

    Edit 2 -> Okay that would have gotten messy fast. Serverside is the way to go.

    Finally got it working using rexrainbow's brilliant Hash Table Plugin. Multidimensional was spelt wrong so it didn't show up in searches. Works perfectly!

  • Ashley yeah I figured as much. Those errors are logged every tick - any chance it's just that slowing down performance?

  • Hi all,

    So I've loaded a multidimensional json file into a dictionary. That works fine. When I log the dictionary back out as json then everything is intact.

    However there appears to be no way to access nested elements? Any ideas if this is supported?

  • Thanks Ashley I got it working :)

  • IE11 got 0/5 for the Web Audio API in ScirraMark? Also the rain demo crashes IE11 for me?

    Edit -> I can get some basic tinting working, then it fails and reverts back. Also enabling WebGL gives me a 50% reduction in performance, and no noticeable performance increase in canvas performance on ARM. Pretty disappointed atm.

    Getting the following errors with WebGL enabled:

    WEBGL11095: INVALID_OPERATION: validateProgram: Method not currently supported

    WEBGL11094: INVALID_OPERATION: texImage2D: Enum UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4 is not currently supported

    Edit-> For anyone trying to install Windows 8.1 on an English GB device, you'll have to reinstall Windows 8 and select a different language on install. I chose Dutch. Then you can install fine and change language after.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Can anyone get the Windows 8.1 update to install? Been trying to no avail for ages now.

  • I have, and that works fine. It just feels like a waste of resources polling a server that requests a third party api. Is there a way to circumvent that?

  • Hi all,

    So coming from a web dev background, I'd simply load any external JSON with server side code, as the server would be essential to displaying the content anyway.

    With a mobile game though, it seems overkill to have to rely on the game calling both the proxy server and the content provider to retrieve the content. I can't request straight from the content provider because of same-origin policy.

    I hear the term JSONP thrown around to bypass this. Would that be a viable solution for a Construct 2 game, or would I just run into more mobile issues?

    Thanks!
