  • Ok. That might be the issue. Remove everything you have there and paste this.

    <preference name="debuggable" value="false" />
<intelxdk:crosswalk xwalk-command-line="--ignore-gpu-blacklist" />
<intelxdk:crosswalk xwalk-command-line="--disable-pull-to-refresh-effect" />
<preference name="CrosswalkAnimatable" value="false" />[/code:ha3ynd1h]

  • Can you post the content of your intelxdk.config.additions.xml file?

  • Regarding free assets. If someone didn't manage to grab the GDC'15 Sonniss pack last year - here it is. 10GB of totally free sounds for your games.

  • I just recieved a question by PM if my ebook will be useful for CocoonIO users as well.

    Yes it will no matter which wrapper you use. Optimization tricks which are covered in this ebook are not only for mobile devices but for any C2 development no matter of the destination platform.

    There is only one chapter regarding optimization in Intel XDK and it is the only one part strictly related to the mobile development - all the rest is universal. I would say the Intel XDK part is more like an extra content.

  • Hmmm I see you have different Device and Splashscreen plugin. Try to remove them and add again.

  • What plugins you have added in Intel XDK? Can you post a screenshot?

  • You should basically do exactly like manual says.

    C2 official AdMob plugin + phonegab plugin i Intel XDK.

  • If you set it up already then you know how to do this. You had to set up a plugin in C2 and you had to set up a library (plugin) in Intel XDK right? What plugin do you use in C2 and Intel XDK?

  • Today is exactly a year as I work with Construct 2.

    It might seem not much but I've spent this year very intensively with Construct 2 as my main "job". Working with C2 nearly everyday for more than 10 hours a day gave me pretty clear understanding of what is going on around. I had more than 10 years of development experience before I started to use C2 which surely helped me understand things better and faster.

    During this intensive year I struggled a lot with many things but in the end I always managed to achieve my goal. I've managed to write two e-books, AirConsole-Construct2 game, several mobile games and many prototypes which will rise some day as desktop/browser games.

    I am proud and happy I've managed to do it. So with this one-year "celebration" day I just wanted to say my very conscious C2 feedback. I find Construct 2 as a masterpiece. Time is the most valuable matter in our lives. And there is no way you can build apps faster than using C2. And the community! - You know!

    Alright. At the end of this kinda sentimental post which I'm writing at 6am I thought I'll give you something Community!

    Well it's nothing much but I just wanted to share something so I've created a blog and added first post regarding free assets. I wrote a list of all free asset sources I found till now and use on a daily basis for prototyping etc.

    Hope You'll find it useful.

    I will post there various C2 tutorials and other stuff related to game development soon. Will keep you updated.

    Cheers!

  • Had the same problem when I was using C2 official AdMob plugin + Cordova AdMob library. Once I changed Cordova AdMob to Phonegap AdMob library, everything works fine.

  • blekdar I think your question is not really related to this topic, so maybe it's a good idea to make a new one. If your game take around 80-90% no matter how you wrap it then I think it's no a matter of wrapper but your game optimization. There are always many ways to to the same functionality. One might be very CPU consuming while other be very light for CPU. Check profiler and try to optimize the most heavy parts.

  • Your game have lot of objects

    my game have lot of events, global variables

    Than I believe the most useful part of ebook for you will be "Re-factoring to triggers" (starting from page 26).

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • And what if my game has NO collision detection between objects, involved at all?

    Are there many tips in your eBook that can dramatically help in cases where rendering [not collision] is the primary drain on framerate and performance?

    I am looking at the eBook on the store, but if you don't have much advice on the rendering side of things then maybe this isn't going to be helpful for my current project.

    Please take a look on the Table of content. There is a part about rendering as well. I don't know you project so I can't really say how much helpful my ebook would be for you regarding rendering. But there are some universal tricks which work everywhere.

    Again note that you can always ask for a refund if you decide that it has no use for you.

  • delgado I don't know your project, so I can't exactly say. But this part looks very unoptimized from what I understand, so yes. You can have probably a huge performance boost if you read my ebook.

    Give it a try. If you won't like it you can always ask Scirra for a refound. But first read it and if you have any questions or doubts, contact me. I will help you with this part.

  • Hi delgado

    As I wote in e-book description:

    [quote:3evqemuw]In this e-book I write about the most effective optimization tricks I've implemented in my recent game Zombie Annihilation. After implementing all those improvements some parts of my game recieved even 400% optimization boost. After all my overall app performance at least doubled.

    So yes this ebook is based on my experience. Zombie Annihilation works now 55-60 FPS most of the gameplay time. Before implementing those optimization tricks it was about half that.

    Please also note that it is built using Intel XDK with Crosswalk 15, CLI 5.1.1 (so it is not the new build system yet).

    Let me show some test results (this is a content from the ebook) about collision optimization.

    Before optimization

    After optimization

    This is the part where I actually got a 400% optimization boost. From ~40 000 collision checks/s to ~10 000 collision checks/s.
