I'm trying to make a 2 player Pong type game but rather than having just up/down direcions..I have 4 directions.....my problem is trying to find a way to control the distance of the left/right movement. I don't want my players to move any than the center of the screen whether the player is on the left or the right side of screen.

I am trying to create a little horse betting game but cant seem to be able to add or subtract from my winnings.

WalletText :500 HorseNumberTextBox: StakeTextBox:

I have 6 horses. I pick a horse number and enter it into the "HorseNumberTextBox", then I enter how much I want to bet into the "StakeTextBox".

once I press the Start button the horses run to the finish line. which ever horse hits the finish line first, its number is displayed in another text box called "Winner".

now ive been struggling with making what ever I have gambled in the StakeTextBox to tally up in my wallet or...if I lose the bet then for it to be deducted from my Wallet.

thanks for any hints n tips

Thank you Fidasx. ive only just got around to trying your tip out.. it works nicely for me...im very greatfull that you took the time to help out. thanks again.

I'm working on a small game where the object of the game is to fire a bullet over a (tilemap) wall and hit an object on the other side. but if the bullet collides with a certain point on the wall then id like only that block of the (tilemap) wall to be destroyed.

oh that looks great. im gonna try this thankyou

Thanks for your advice linkman2004..i wasnt sure if it was because i am using the free construct2 or if i just wasnt looking properly .

Draw a circle in the sprite editer in construct 2 ?...when i insert a sprite . theres no option for a circle as in a round head for my character....i have to draw a square head?..or am i just not lookin properly?

i am working on a little game where there is a scoreText system and a clock countdown timerText from 60 seconds to zero..my problem is that after the timer reaches zero , it continues counting down into minus numbers....how do i stop the timer from doing this ? thanks.

Thank you chrisinfinger.. your advice is very much appreciated

hi folks, i was wondering if it was possible to create a "Rebelstar/Laser squad" style turn based game using construct? this was my all time fave game when using the spectrum in my youth...i remember a few of my friends and i would sit around the speccy and have a competition (kind of like a league table) and play each other at Rebelstar for hours...Happy days , ive been using construct R2 for a few weeks now just trying to find my way around the basics but would love to hear some advice or tips on how this could be possible. thanx

hey folks..im really looking forward to learning to build the old school arcade classics as well as games from the spectrum and commodore such as "Rebelstar/Laser Squad" (Speccy) , and the likes of "Punchy and Jetset Willy" (Commodore/Speccy). Hope these are possible using construct.
