  After I export my project to dropbox when I play the program,via dropbox, the window appears at the top of the screen without the grey margins around it.The game has fullscreen off in the projects settings.My question is how can I place the game in the centre of the screen and have the grey margins showing.The window size is 640x480.

  I tried it as solid as well and the same thing occurs. It doesn't matter if you set the condition to overlapping or colliding, the same thing occurs.

  I am making a Breakout style game for my grandson. Everything is going well apart from one problem. I have the ball set as solid and the bat unchecked for solid. I have set up my own formula for adjusting the bounce angle of the ball depending on where it hits the bat. The ball has the bullet behaviour. Sometimes when the ball overlaps the bat the ball goes straight through. Would I be better making up my own custom movement for the ball or is there some way round this problem?

  I am making a game for mobile devices and was wondering what the community thinks is the best screen size to produce in order to work over different devices?I know that in the game properties i can set the app to scale itself to the size of the screen.

  Hi everyone.I am using beta 88 and I am trying to use the push/pop array feature .If I run a loop say 100 times (0 to 99) and push a value to it the array length shows a value of 101.I did a test where at the start of frame I set the array size to 0.According to the manual this should give a totally empty array with no elements.If I show the size of the array it still gives a length of value 1,rather than zero as I expected.Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?

  I would like to read in info from a text file to place sprites on the playfield.How do I read in each individual element from the file seperately.It seems that the file object reads in the whole file.

  I am running the latest version of construct.If I place a sprite in the editor I cannot drag it to a new location it keeps snapping back to its original position .The sprite only moves a small amount and when the mouse leaves the sprite it snaps back.
