  • Man, those both look great

  • My entry! Done in just under an hour. Try to hoverboard to the end of the level in the fastest time possible. What's the fastest you can get??????? 9.43 seconds my best!

  • Try Construct 3

  • It's an interesting idea. It raises some questions in my mind though. How would we determine the "cost" of a feature like a Linux port? I guess we could estimate the hours work and the hourly wage, but what if we turn out to be way off the mark? Do we collect the total cost upfront or work as we get funds? What if we start work and donations dry up half way through, do we just give up on the work we've already done or what? What if we collect upfront but then run out of time because we're only spare-time developers and may have other commitments? Will we have angry users who donated but arent getting results as quickly as they wanted?

    I can see things potentially getting ugly whichever way we organise this. It needs some careful thought. What do you think?

  • Object[Bullet].Travelled > 50

    >Set angle to Object.Angle - 40

    Result: keeps spinning.

    Add the 'trigger once' condition below the comparison. The bullet will still have travelled more than 50 pixels every tick after it first reaches 50 pixels, so it keeps running the event every tick.

    As Arima said, you have to be careful making direct comparisons to numbers like that. If the distance travelled was 49 one tick then 51 the next, your event never runs. Even if it has travelled 50.000001 pixels one tick, the event would not run.

  • When rendering to a layer texture, yes (ARGB format), but when rendering to the backbuffer/display, no (XRGB format, A is ignored).

  • Yeah, the 'travelled' expression in the bullet behavior retrieves its distance travelled.

    The range exceeded thing might be a bug, can you reproduce it in a new .cap?

  • You could take a quick look at the Rain demo. It's not exactly what you want, but the puddles are reflective and show clouds in the sky in them.

  • It could be done, but it might use a lot of CPU taking volume measurements for a lot of channels running at once. I'll see.

  • I don't have Photoshop, by the way

  • It seems that those who initially "invented" programming conventions didn't spend much time thinking about what words really mean in English

    Quite the opposite. Engineers spend much time considering what would be an accurate name for their inventions and concepts. For example, 'variables' sure is a better one than 'remembers', to be honest.

    Also, using some terms directly from programming and the industry is a benefit for some people who want to move up to programming languages, who then already know some basic concepts. Finally, if you insist Construct's terminology is confusing or nondescriptive (which I have tried to show it is not, by comparing to a real programming language), then maybe there is another program out there you can go use like Kodu or Popfly. You don't have to use Construct if you don't like it, it's not like we're losing a sale or anything.

  • Can you reproduce them in new .caps and submit them to the tracker?

    If you set the resize mode in application properties to 'show more window content', the runtime will never stretch the display. However, I think some non-CRT monitors pretend they support certain resolutions by stretching the image with linear filtering. There's nothing you can do to stop that except not change in to that resolution; it's just crappy monitor design.
