  • Oh dear god! Let's not throw Windows/Linux/Mac in to this mess.

    Hahahaha, funniest e-drama for ages

  • Well, it's not a bad demo after all, so I gave it five stars

  • Official word on the matter:

    It's hilarious.

    There are so many levels of irony going on here it's ridiculous. The graphics, code etc are all original, just the same idea, so it's not like there's a copyright infringement (do Clickteam think otherwise???? Should I threaten to sue them???). It's odd they basically reproduced Construct demo to show off (even the filter effect when you die is the same ). There's been even more fussing over pointless '1' ratings like we had. Coincidentally the tech demo I started two weeks ago was ready, so I posted it - and surely nobody will get fussed over "just a simple stupid demo" like someone said of "Ghost Hunter"? Jeff of Clickteam liked it so I guess he likes our one too? (admittedly theirs is more polished, but it's the same thing), while CT moderators are censoring the very name of Construct on their forums (Wow! We've achieved an "unspeakable" status!) - and this is all so terribly predictable, people will fuss, post more thinly-veiled irrational hate responses, flamewars shall be had, threads shall be locked, post shall be deleted, and oh jeez. Give me a break already.

    I don't care, good publicity IMO.

  • 1. I am ginger.

    2. Thread is offtopic.

    Ahem, cough cough!

  • Replace 'for each node' with

    Repeat node.count times

    This will fix your engine

    The 'for each' condition does more than just repeat an event a number of times, it automatically picks each single instance in turn. Remember subevents inherit the picked objects from parent events.

  • (re-railing) The finished demo is on http://scirra.com/demos.php now, let me know if anything goes wrong. I want to make this in to a game some time

  • [quote:ds4lfd1u]allow the user to switch window sizes at runtime

    System - Set display resolution!

    Just to throw in my thoughts:

    I run a dual monitor setup, each display at 1024x768. Windows doesn't let you create windows bigger than a display (for a good reason), and with all the added window caption and borders, that means the window is squashed a bit. As a result, DirectX is scaling the display slightly smaller with a linear filter, which ends up "blurring" fine pixel graphics like text and reducing the quality of your graphics. Plus with a window the size of my display, I end up fiddling about trying to align it with my screen. The next build can change between fullscreen and windowed at runtime, though, so you could always have a 'Press F to go fullscreen' in the title screen or whatever - I really would rather go fullscreen at 1024x768 than windowed.

  • Written a Wiki article to explain the issues surrounding TimeDelta and why it's useful:

    http://www.scirra.com/wiki/TimeDelta

    Going to spruce it up with some images and diagrams soon... let me know if any questions/feedback/critique etc.

  • It'll be fixed in the next build, coming soon hopefully.

  • OK, I've updated the demo and made a few tweaks. It's an EXE now, because it depends on some fixes in the next build of Construct:

    This is the release candidate before it goes on the site, so any bugs, critique, feedback, anything not working etc. let me know!

    Some new effects including water reflections so let me know how it runs (FPS in top-left), and your graphics hardware/shader version etc. Should run better at a lower resolution.

  • If you did

    + Start of layout

    : Add force 5

    : Add force 5

    the total force added is 10.

    If you did

    + Start of layout

    : Set force 5

    : Set force 5

    the total force applied to the object is still 5. Simple, 'add' is for cumulative forces, and 'set' is for overall.

  • I think it has 64mb VRAM according to google, which should be enough to run Construct - you could try again turning your resolution down to something really low (640x480) and see if it works just to rule out VRAM issues - otherwise, probably a bug. Is it reproducable opening the picture editor in a freshly started game? Also, you should make sure the drivers are the latest version to rule that out as well.
