  Using the canvas plugin how do you paste or draw transparency? There's a draw a block or circle of a certain color, but how do I set the alpha?

  In construct 1 there's an "erase" effect, but none in construct 2.

  What "erase effect"? I don't seem to see it anywhere in the fx list for sprite effects...

  ...Oh I see this is a "construct classic" part of the forum... is there an erase effect for construct2?

  That's the way I do it... Just give the trail object the "fade" behavior and spawn them rapidly... like every tick or 0.x seconds.

  I tried creating an APK of the Geolocation example using PhoneGap and it deployed OK, but is giving me an error when the Geolocation get location is invoked. It's an object error "failed to start geolocation service."

  I know the android razor supports geolocation, is there some setting or maybe phonegap problem others have run into?   Has anybody got that demo working on an android device?

  Thanks!

  That's because a garage coder is coding for a much smaller niche market.

  Like a specialty custom car... doesn't cost more to design and make than say a new line of Hyundai, but it's going to be more expensive because a garage coder can't rely on a billion dollars of promotion and distribution deals and basically knowing he's gonna sell a billion of them. Developer has to charge more to recoup his cost otherwise it's not worth it and nobody will ever write custom apps.

  Also an app --regardless of the cost of development-- has more value to the niche user of that app than any game usually. So supply and demand wise --it makes perfect sense.

  Looks like events are the way to do it... which is kinda what I thought. A behavior for this would be nice with starts and ends for animations. Seems like a very common thing to want to do.

  How do I switch animations by direction if I have an animation like this one:

  dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16484289/anim1.jpg

  for walking? Is there a way without having a bunch of events?

  If you could switch anims by number instead of name it would be easier but there must be some built-in way to do it.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16484289/anim1.jpg

  Still don't see any way to send a message between players. Does the Facebook interface have something that will do this?

  ...you have to make the source hightmapped like you want with brightness, and make your sprites that are going to wrap around it "Destination on top" rendered. Works real nice like...

  The Lense Shader seems to do this. I'm working on an idea of wrapping shadows around a shape and the game is played in shadows. This seems to work.
