  I'll be playing and rating all the games posted here. Here's mine. I went for something more narrative driven for a change.

  PixelMonkey I wouldn't be surprised if "10 Seconds" doesn't even come close to winning. The nature of the voting methods makes predicting a winner very difficult.

  Kyatric

  I haven't been a big fan of many of these themes either, and was also kind of bummed that there were so many repeats from previous voting rounds, but that sure won't stop me from having fun.

  Final round of voting is live.

  I can't believe there was such a high percentage of themes from the first 4 rounds were in the negative. I'm guessing people are being really picky since there was so much hate for last LD's theme.

  Check out the manual's platform behavior entry, specifically the section "Implementing reliable platform movements". In short, the platform behavior plays best with a rectangular collision polygon.

  In case you're unfamiliar with Ludum Dare, here's a topic I created the other day as a reminder of the upcoming event.

  Thanks! I can't imagine there are that many folks on the forum who have ever even heard of the game. From what I've heard, people play it everywhere in China.

  I've heard this game go by the name of "Dou Dizhu", and "Fight the Landlord", but my friends and I always called it "Triad". It's a 3 player asian card game that my friends and I used to frequently play when we got together. We no longer live close to each other, but we still wanted to be able to play. There are some online versions, but not with the same set of rules we play, so I wanted to try building it in C2. It was also a good excuse to test the waters with online multiplayer. After a couple of weeks of developing in my free time, it's just about ready for testing. I figured I'd pop it up here in case anyone was interested in trying it out. Also, it's a good example of C2's ability to create turn-based online multiplayer games when used in conjunction with a servers side scripting language.

  <font size="5"><center>Play Triad v0.5 </center></font>

  Please note: There are no computer players; this is strictly an online multiplayer game. You can test the game out by getting 2 other people to play with you, or more likely, open the game in 3 browser windows and pretend to be 3 different people.

  Program Instructions:

  • Enter a Username, and press play.
  • Tap an Empty Seat at one of the six tables to sit in it.
  • Once your table is full, a game will begin.

  Game Instructions are a bit much to type out here, but you can get the gist of it by checking out this wikipedia entry.

  Controls:

  There are both touch, and mouse controls. They're relatively simple. Click/tap a card to select it. Click/tap and drag to select multiple cards. To sort your hand, drag a card (or group of selected cards), by clicking/tapping and holding. When it's your turn, you can play a hand by selecting the appropriate cards, and clicking/tapping play. Alternatively, drag hands onto the center of the table to play a hand.

  Here are a couple screenshots:

  <center><img src="http://i.imgur.com/57CKEPel.png" border="0">

  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/250J8jvl.png" border="0"></center>

  There are definitely feature I could add, like a dynamic table system, chat capabilities, and computer players, but they're not needed for my friends and I to play. However, I will probably publish the game to mobile platforms after some bug testing. Fortunately, it works quite nicely on CocoonJS.

  Any feedback or bug reports are welcome. I hope you enjoy.

  I just copied the code that moves the Hero Sprite along the saved path, and changed it's references to the Hero2 Object. I also delayed their the pathfinding of the Hero2 Object so they don't end up on top of each other.

  There are many ways to improve upon this model. For example, if you're having multiple objects/instances follow the same path, it would be wise to loop through them to set their movement as opposed to having to copy the same code for each one. The important thing is that you save the path to something that other objects can reference and follow using whatever method you choose.

  We're just 1 week away from Ludum Dare 27. If you're not sure what Ludum Dare is, it's an accelerated game development event held every 4 months, with 2 concurrent competitions taking place over 1 weekend. Full rules can be viewed here, but here's a quick breakdown of the competitions:

  Compo

  • 48 hours long
  • You must work alone
  • You must use the competition theme
  • Publicly available libraries and middleware (i.e.Construct 2) are allowed
  • Source Code must be included when submitting

  Jam

  • 72 hours long
  • Work along or in teams
  • All creation tools are allowed

  Personally, I've found these competitions to be a great experience. It tests your abilities, and finishing a game in 48/72 hours is a great feeling. Last event's keynote does a nice job of explaining why you should participate. If you have the time, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot. I hope to see and play entries from many of you.

  To give you an idea of what types of games are possible in these competitions, check out the below links to winners, and the entries I found using Construct 2:

  Double quotes can be used as an escape character in any string, including function parameters. Setting parameter 4 to """Medium Range Remover""" should work fine.

  It's definitely possible. I created a log in system for a weekend projecta few months ago. The tutorials Vladoss posted are a good start.

  Using a tiled background with a texture made up of a group of 4 squares should accomplish the effect you're looking for. Something like this:

  You're setting the text to the loop's current X value (The cell's X position, not what it contains). You probably want to replace:

  Append"-"&Array.CurX

  with

  Append"-"&Array.CurValue

  Ah, I see what you mean now. It looks like character widths are only saved per layout. A default character width property sounds like a good idea. In the meantime, you could create a event sheet specifically for setting the the character widths, and include it on the other event sheets.
