  • Not enough coffee this morning, apparently. Nimtrix's is much nicer than mine.

  • If you put the enemy and the health bar in a Container, when you pick a monster, it'll automatically pick it's health bar too.

  • Easy way? The answer to that depends on your knowledge of XML. You can make your php return an xml file rather than just echo a single variable, then use Construct's XML Plugin to parse the data and put it into your variables.

  • So, you're looking for something like this?

    Capx here.

  • And to boot, toss the fade behavior on it and it'll fade out and destroy itself.

  • I have a hybrid roguelike/towerdefense game that I'm writing that uses a turn counter system for movement. It runs in realtime, but with 2-3 more lines of code would run in classic roguelike fashion. C2 is more than able to make a roguelike.

  • I have seen oddity with the keyboard like you're talking about occasionally with Chrome in both HTML5 and flash games. I can make it happen in the demo as well, but can't reproduce it in FF or IE. Seems more like a keyboard hook issue in Chrome than anything else.

  • To be clear, you're talking about the link to the demo for the project, or are you talking about you went through the steps to create the demo and you're seeing this performance when you run your project?

  • I have it happen to me too: Can save and close projects, but will not exit the program. Seems to happen when I open another project when I'm working on a project. i.e. opening an example project. This opens a second instance of C2 that loses ok. After that instance is closed, I can't close the 1st one.

  • I would check for objects of that type that are less than or equal to the size of the object that are of the same type. If they exist, I'd destroy them and run the same test on them as well.

    If that made sense.

  • On my ancient Sharp ADS-01 using Android 2.2 and the stock mobile browser I'm still getting 10-14 fps on that second project.

  • Like the game. Suggestion for future version: having the special gems pop when they are popped as a group, not just when clicked. Would make for some chaotic chains.

  • It's an entertainment media, so from my background and experience in the broadcast industry my philosophy on game making and producing commercials and bits are the same:

    Do the best you can today. Put as much polish and finish as you can on it. Then move on to the next project.

    Quality is number one for sure, but you have to finish a project and then let it be. If it's a hit, great. If it's not, you apply what worked and avoid what didn't in your next project.

  • Was going to post a bug about my Sprite Fonts not showing up on my loading layout, but I found that if I put a layer with a simple please wait imaged and wait a couple of seconds before making the rest of the loading screen visible they show up fine. Probably just the size of the sprite sheets I'm using for them.

  • Obligatory Introduction Post.

    Howdy! Thought I'd introduce myself because I'm a shill for badges and achievements. Also, because I'm required by law to inform you that I have been convicted of being a computer game programmer. It's a serious offense and we are a danger to the public and ourselves, thus you have be warned.

    And my wife brought cookies.
