  Hi, I just recently bought a new Macbook and was wondering what the best way to get construct to run on it would be?

  (I understand it is not a Mac-native program and requires emulation or what-not)

  This X button will not ask you if you want to save when you click it, it just automatically will close whatever project your working on. I accidentally clicked this and lost 4 hours of work

  I know i should of saved more often but I got really into my game-making and lost track of time.

  Might also be a good idea to implement an Auto-Save x minutes feature like is seen in Hammer.

  Hi everyone, I am coming from the RM community and like the looks of this powerful engine, I just am having a bit of simplicity syndrome and cant seem to figure out how to make a scrolling background for a Gradius type side-shooter. Can anyone help me please?

  An example would be awesome, ive spent hours on the site and pouring over a few tuts but to no avail, I know there is a top-down tutorial I have read it but it does not yet have the portion that explains scrolling backgrounds!

  I'm getting really frustrated being trumped by something so simple... so any help is appreciated!

  p.s. To be more specific, the background I am seeking is where it moves independently of the player, like.. if the player isnt pressing anything it is still moving. (just like the Gradius games)

  RESOLUTION

  Who knew I was gonna figure this out, i just opened the tut with the top down scroll and with some tinkering and a lot of trial and error figured it out. Here is the .cap for ANYONE else who runs into this problem.
