  • Right step... But after 2 minutes of idle, the app restarts itself like before.

    This time I tried reducing the sprite size from 2000x2000 to 640x640.

    It's working. In the app for 10 minutes. Looks like we struck a balance and I hope this helps some poor soul. This took years to figure out -- Scirra please create some sort of documentation or something around resolutions / file sizes & app crashing!!!

  • So in wake of this discovery, I decided to use the C3 "Compress images" stuff on export -- and guess what.

    My app starts.

  • OMG this was painful. I have a Sprite object that has 50 animations with 1 frame.

    I got into my "HOME" screen after loading and the project just restarts.

    I spent DAYS figuring this out, so I eventually debugged it to my PLAYER sprite. If I delete that sprite from the HOME screen, it magically works.

    This has plagued me since my C2 days...

    Actually, it appears that my PLAYER object is too large in file size -- CAN WE PLEASE GET A NOTIFICATION ON THIS?

    I suppose it makes sense, it's like my phone is running out of memory.

    TEST: I can programmatically add the PLAYER object after 5 seconds and yep, it restarts the app!

    SOLUTION: Make smaller objects

  • I did. It STILL lags on mobile.

    Edit: Oh -- yes I see what you're saying but, no. I don't have time for my paying client to screw around with experimental things that SHOULD be standard. It's 2018.

    Has no one at C3 tried scroll with DOM elements? Bizzarre.

    I absolutely refuse to join the Windows Insider Program.

    It specifically warns you it could crash your system and cause damage to your data.

    Hell no.

  • Ended up abandoning C2/C3 for this project.

  • Fanstastic... even without the CSS updates, manually setting the positions every tick has DRAMATICALLY improved scrolling.

    While insane, I'm happy to have a decent resolution. It's not perfect... but the app runs much smoother.

    Had to create my own checkbox system....

  • UGHHH FUCK C2 just crashed. Back to the start.

  • MOTHERFUCKER.

    You can't change the CSS OR POSITION of an checkbox field.

    More fucking work because Construct. Fuck.

  • Alright, so this method of scrolling with JUST updating the position on every tick, is MUCH smoother.

    The text still bounces, but I haven't tried to update the CSS yet. I expect positive results.

    BRB..

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • FANTASTIC.

    I can confirm that this method works.

    I guess I'll have to rebuild the ENTIRE scroll system... but if it works it works.

  • Wow, what a great demo. It certainly looks clean in browser...

    I'll see what happens if I apply this to mobile app...

    Fingers crossed.
