    I haven't read over the official documentation yet but there must be a way to make games with Construct 2 for the new Windows App Store.

    New Windows Dev Center

    It sure would be nice to have one of the first games on the Windows App Store even if you didn't win. Windows 8 is suppose to go into open beta in late February 2012.

    Windows 7, 64-bit

    My graphics card drivers are up to date I check the manufactures website for updates daily.

    The picture editor works it doesn't launch an external editor or anything like that but about every 70 hours or so of use I get this error saying "Cannot find project file for animation frame". And one or more of my sprites go missing but there image points are still there so when I reload the missing sprites they appear about 600px or so away from there original image points.

    Iv tried to recreate this problem with no luck it seems to just happen randomly. I first noticed this with R67, and reported the bug here:

    [R67"> Cannot find project file for animation frame

  • Just a quick question: how many of you are using PHP/MySQL? Would it be worthwhile developing plugin + PHP combos that can act together? What if we had something such as a MySQL plugin that only needed a .php file to exist with your construct app on the live server? Would these pre-programmed solutions make sense for you?

    Nice plugin jessejoh. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Yes I am using PHP/MySQL. Iv been spending a lot of time trying to write a nice framework for a real time social game that I have been slowly working on. I kind of put it on hold though I am waiting on some things like families to be implemented into Construct 2 first because I'm finding that what I thought would be a small easy project keeps getting larger, and more complex as I go.

    I personally would warmly welcome plugin + PHP combos. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I would even be willing to pay for a time saver like that although I do hope you keep it free. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Anyway I hope you do give it a try it would make Construct 2 game development even more user friendly.

  • I just exported a game that Iv been working on in file mode. I ran it offline, and I did get a warning message but it ran ok in firefox. If its not working for you offline you could try downloading WAMP. WAMP will run offline just place all your exported game files in WAMP's www folder, and run your game from there.

  • Caer What exactly does the error say? Can you copy and past it here so everyone can see it?

  • MUFON? I will look it up.

    I haven't thought about that in quite some time until I read this thread.

    I always believed that we are not alone but after seeing that I know.

  • Yes, about 20 years ago one night in Wisconsin I was driving my friends car because he was to stoned to drive. We dropped off a friend who lived on a dead end country road in the middle of nowhere. After he went in his house we started to drive, and I noticed some red, and green lights moving across the sky towards us. At first I thought it was just a low flying plane but then it got real close about 20 feet off of the ground right buy our car. I looked at my friend and before I could say do you see that? He started freaking out yelling it's a F***ing UFO!

    So I continued to drive if I would speed up it would speed up, If I stopped which scared my friend the UFO would stop it just stayed about 10 feet in front of the car, and about 20 feet in the air. After we drove about 5 miles it shot to the other side of the road but maintained the same distance from our car. Then for the next 5 miles it just kept moving from one side of the road to the other.

    Then as we were approaching a stop sign the UFO slowly started moving off across a field towards a town were I lived. When we came to a stop it turned over on it's side, and all we could see was a spiral of small bright blueish white lights with one large very bright white light in the center. It then started to move towards us I was trying to figure out how to lock my car door like that would have helped. My friend was freaking out begging me to go. It got so close, and the lights were so bright that his cars black dash even looked white. I really wanted to know what it was that we were seeing but the situation was so intensely uncomfortable I just punched the accelerator to the floor, and started jamming through the gears. Once I was up to speed, and feeling a little bit safer I looked around, and couldn't see anything. Then all of a sudden it flew off the top of our car about 2 inches off of the cars windshield, and hood. Then slapped down about 6 inches off of the road and shot into town, then about 100 feet in the air, and then landed in a field on the other side of town all at a very high rate of speed. I got a very close look at it when this happened it was made of some type of solid like metal, it was wedged shaped, and about the size of a small car. The bottom of it was full of small blueish white lights.

    Well now that it had landed we just had to take a closer look. So I started to drive to the other side of town were it landed. As we were driving some people in a car waved us down, and tolled us that the UFO had been hovering over there house for the last 2 weeks. Normally I would have thought they were nuts but seeing is believing. Anyway they said that they have been trying to communicate with it by using morse code with a flashlight. I remember thinking what a way to start an interstellar war.

    We all decided to walk up to it but as we were walking accosted the field it shot up into the air about 100 feet, and started to move out of town. We all ran to our cars, and started chasing it. All of a sudden two police cars joined us in the chase but the faster we went the faster the UFO went. My friends car only could go 85 miles per hour so the UFO, and the police lost us. We then gave up turned around, and went back into town but just before we got to town another UFO shot up from that field, and hovered about 100 feet above us for a minute then shot off into the stars at a speed faster than anything mans current technology can.

    I never saw anything like that since. Iv seen some crazy sh*t in my life but that one is at the top of my list.

  • Hello InsertCoin25

    Wastrel made a nice simple inventory mechanic example here:

    Hope this helps

    mammoth I didn't mean to sound anti Adsense I use to have a good working relationship with them for a couple of years before that happened to me. I just wanted to let people know what Adsense could do to them at any time they wish it is in there agreement when you start an account with them.

    I agree with oliwood (You should be able to make a great game with Construct2 and see some profits.) I have a friend that's been making a decent living making ISO games for the past 2 years now. He builds them mainly in Objective-C but says he is going to buy Construct 2 now that he bought a PC. He told me the trick is a lot of advertising, and sell them cheap $0.99.

  • Well after doing some searching I think the girls phone I was checking out might have been the G1 like yankeesbro said but with the new Ice Cream Sandwich OS running on it.

    Idk I was out celebrating my birthday when I seen it so I honestly cant remember if the screen was curved or not. Actually I cant remember very much at all from that night. lol It's just that I got a very old blackberry, and I really want to buy a new Android. But I cant find a service provider were I live that has the new upgrade yet for there phones, and I want to make sure I get a decent enough phone that will support the new OS, and run html5 games on it well.

  • Has anyone gotten the new Galaxy Nexus with the Ice Cream Sandwich OS yet? I know it was just realest but someone here must have gotten it. I met someone tonight that just got it, and maybe it is just the phone itself but the phone does not come with a front facing camera, so you cannot really use face unlock, and without NFC support Android Beam is fairly impotent too. But even some older features of Android, like Wi-Fi, and automatic screen rotation, are not functioning properly either.

    I haven't been able to test out any html5 games on it because the girl I met that just got the phone was exactly that a 21 year old that I met in a club. And after she let me check out her phone, and all the questions I asked about it she thought I was a total geek, and didn't want anything to do with me. But I was just wondering if the sound issue we were all having with only one sound at a time is fixed in this new version?

    Also I was thinking of buying an Android but just wondering if anyone has heard anything official about what preexisting phones will support an upgrade? The new Galaxy Nexus only has a 528MHz processor so maybe I will just wait.

    Any info would be appreciated <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Cool cut scenes, and intros! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks
