iwontnamemyself thanks for the clarification. what i thought was that when a object is destoyd (bullet hit enemy OR enemy is not in layout -> enemy destroy ) would to the trick and memory / CPU is free for other objects to spawn... my game spawns far more than 8000 objects and they get destroyed after leaving the layout or when they get hit by a bullet... and i ran in no troubles.

when i didnt destroy the bullets outside of the layout however the load bagan to rise, which is normal.

so i will run another test and spawn 8000 objects and will look at the memory/cpu if it will have any impact.

iwontnamemyself could you specify this a little further?

[quote:1d8tj08k]Setting the position wreaks less havoc on the cpu. The more objects you create throughout the life of the program, the more negative the more the cpu is bogged down. You obviously won't see a difference with only one object, but when you have more than 20 spawning and being destroyed, over and over again, you can see a major difference.

do you mean the progreamm will run slower and slower over time? i made a top down shooter spawning and destroying the same anemys over and over again, so far i didnt noticed an impact...

hey markdo,

how about taking a sprite? you can also animate the sprite by adding animation frames. it acts the same like a button... also it would be usefull to know what the button does

Hey,

i am planning on a space sim so i would like to see some space stations!

so far i can find plenty of spaceships, planets, nebular, backgrounds and so on, but a varity of space stations is really hard to find. i dont even know if there is something out like this.

so here is what i would really like to see:

example: http://gyazo.com/3a5a7e8fc3b2241ae0b6b21abd9fd50a

some examples:

• Shipyards
• (otional) Equipmentdocs
• Tradingstations
• small lasertower for defense
• Weaponplattform for defense
• Mines (atachable to astroids) for example ore, silicon, ...
• Shipyards
• 2 Level Foodproduction (raw and processed)
• Weapon production facility
• Shield production facility
• rocket production facility
• special equipment production facility
• some custom headquarters
• jumpgates
• ...

what would be cool is some kind of "station construction kit" so that one can build new stations frome some parts in photoshop, without having to make everything...

some animations would been nice maybe, like flashing lights or something, but i am really not an artist and cant say so much about what is possible. maybe some kind of "docking" port would be nice for the bigger factorys.

regards

joschi

thank you very much, for pointing this out! i will modify my scritp!

allright Ashley, thank you very much!

Colludium, i am glad it helped. your demo now runs much better, i would say even if there are some jerk its one of the smoothest things i saw in html 5 so far... hahah

regards

I have done a lot of research on this topic as this is one big issue for me.

my game seems to have a poor quality because of this, and it really anoys me. i cant make a game i love with construct 2 even if i love construct 2.

here are my thoughts on this:

1) it is NOT a construct problem! the jitter/stutter is everywhere in html5.

take a look here: http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/

you ddont have to start the film. there are birds flying around smoothly and suddenly they begin to stutter, then they fly smoothly again.

i see this issue with EVERY html 5 game where are objects moving. even with the simplest animation (using chrome or firefox).

2) we are not alone with this problem and its not "new" so html 5 is new doesnt count. smooth movement and good audio are some of the MOST IMPORTANT things and should be the first things that work perfectly!

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241 ... on-stutter

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1419 ... -in-chrome

3) it is NOT a hardware problem, at least in most cases. it doesnt matter if its a galaxy s2(crosswalk) or my "high end" gaming pc. this issue of the "micro stuttering" is always present

4) Colludium with the framedrop on start of layout: move all the objects you are using to the menu. then destroi them.

it will better the lag when starting the main layout. at least that solves the 25fps for 5 seconds on start of layout problem for me <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

5) we should look out mfor any information if this will befiuxed in a later version of canvas.

i am especially speaking of crosswalk developpers. maybe they con do something. the least we should do is adress this issue to development teams of the software that causes it.

6) if those issues dont get fixxed within the next 6 month i really see no pont to develop with html5 at all. eli0s i totally understand your frustration, its the same with me.

the point is we (the developpers) did nothing wrong than chosing html5/canvas over a engine whith can handle our demand. html5/canvas might be god for point and click / drag and drop games. but nothing with "fast" animations then.

7) Ashley thanks for reporting that issue. the interesting part for me (and i think for many others) will be when the crosswalk team implements the update (i speaking about the intel xdk for android releases)

should we directly report this to the crosswalkteam (https://crosswalk-project.org/contribut ... _bugs.html)? or just wait till chromium has fixxed this issue and then report it there?

kind regards

joschi

just updated to the latest xdk version, unfortunatelly the problem peresists...

its alwaysthe same, sound and jitter problems. ive also read that android is slow in decoding sounds, thats wye it takes so long to start when i Import the music as sound...

both circumstances are so not acceptable

Ashley , could that be a cosntruct bug or is at just an issue with crosswalk? are there any workarounds? is it even possible to develop a "good" game with construct2 for android? i just love constuct and i love making games with it, but whats the use if you cant publish them?

Ive enabled it and now it runs in the browser preview like i exported it with crosswalk, which is a nice to have but doesnt solfe the skittering issues... but i am fine with that. whats more important right now is that when i export the app with crosswalk the music aleways gets played at maximum volume! (like i mentioned in my other thread)

i have a workarround for the lags at game start: i moved all the object to the menu layout and destroy them on start. now the game itself stats with less lags!

regards joschi

jep, i have read it.... but also there seem to be several issues with the sound in crosswalk... basically the whole sound thing lags on start of a layout + you cant controll music volume... it always plays at max vulume at crosswalk. and when you import music as sound it works, but the app takes 5 minutes to start O_o doesnt make sence....

hopefully things get sorted out soon. its very frustrating when you have your whole app ready and cant publish it because BASIC features dont work.

Hey, everyone,

I’ve encountered a bug / error which I can’t walk around so i ask you guys if you have any ides...

For referent, everything is working fine in website export: http://bytecrunch.org/games/ocp1/

When I export the same game for crosswalk and build the app everything works, but the music is always playing at maximum volume... ( I have an option menu where you can set the volume....) it also works in the intel XDK emulator without problems...

Also I have trouble getting the tilt control to run. Touch works without problems. I’ve activated the accelerometer plugin in crosswalk and added the necessary options in construct 2 [quote:1s8vgmfr] gamma orientation = -20 MOVE playerbox.movingspeed*dt pixels at angle 180

Any thoughts on this? i really want to get this game done but those issues are very demotivating :/

Kind regards

Joschi

Edit: I’ve also uploaded the apk for arm, just in case anyone wants to test the game on their device... I’ve still having some trouble with lags on start of the main layout... http://bytecrunch.org/games/ocp1/ocp1.apk

and as always: Thank you very much for your help!

Edit2: ive also tryed to import the music file as sound, which solves the issue. i can set the sound and the music volume seperatly. the problem with this is, the app then takes 4 minutes just to start (stuck at the loading screen at 60%) which is also unacceptable...

shouldnt this go much faster as the music isnt streamed when compiled with crosswalk?

Thanks for pointing this out. Same problem with Asus K00F
