Just to say, as a Linux-only gamer and developer, Construct will change things for me.

C3 is the only one to support Linux with the editor and that alone is a pretty big thing for us.

Good work Scirra!

I am wondering if there's a way to detect the layout edge? Anyone got a quick tip?

I see we have is on screen and is outside layout, but no touching layout edge? Seems like a really simple feature that should be built in.

Is there an easy way to check if a foreach loop has finished?

I can't see a way to detect it, so I've simply made a random event, stuck some actions inside it I want done after it and then removed the event so it's a blank event with actions, which seems to work. It feels a little weird to need to do that though, so hopefully I'm missing something.

So I'm trying to make a really simple ajax request with a score and a name. Everything I've looked up suggests what I have is correct, but C3 says it's not valid.

I'm putting the method as POST with a data string like this:

[quote:2zbuxpp7]"score=" &Score & "name=" &highscorename.Text

I've read lots of guides saying to use URLEncode, but that doesn't apply, since it's POST and not GET. Every time I check the $_POST['name'] in PHP it's empty, but $_POST['score'] comes up as say "462.66792name=liam" for example. What am I missing to split them?

UPDATE: FIXED.

It needed to be this:

[quote:2zbuxpp7]"score=" &Score & "&name=" &highscorename.Text

Thanks but i don't get this bit:

I use angle(x1, x2, y1, y2) X is the bullet and Y is the Player.

Bear in mind this is my first proper time using it.

So basically I am trying to test C2 by making a very very simple sort of bullet hell shooter.

Working out okay so far figured out shooting and movement for the player but i can't figure out how to get an "enemy" sprite to spawn and then always be trying to reach the players sprite?

Sounds good to me as bugs probably isn't the right place for it after all since it's not a bug in C2 itself.

Thanks for the replies, i will try the file way.

FYI ashley to quote myself "any ideas" i didn't ask you to fix a WINE bug. I just wanted to know what was causing it as i know you don't support Linux at all and never will, you have made that quite clear to me in the past.

I just wanted ideas that's all.

Okay so for the most part the game maker now works pretty well in WINE on Linux.

The only bug I have so far is when trying to preview the apps, it wouldn't let me copy and paste the error message so here's a screenshot for you, any ideas?

I see the main problem. 30 day demo users get all features even updates, even though they are slow they still get them.

Where as if you pay after a while you don't get them at all, i can't see it working, that bit needs re-thinking.

We're not just talking about the price.

The reason is, that after 2 years, the subscription runs out and the software isn't yours anymore.

Also, we're not all companies that yearn 20'000 Pounds per year. We're talking mostly about normal earning people.

So you can't afford ?1.66 a month? That's what it works out to. Besides you can still then use it - you just won't get updated?

I think it sounds like a really good idea. It allows everyone to use it no matter their situation.

Although i hope if someone paid �40 for the two years they pay to keep the software without any nag screens past the 2 years but just no updates?

Also i like the idea of it being a subscription over that period, i think 2 years is a good time frame as you could buy it year one, halfway through construct 3 could come out and you then have access to that.

Still....Linux GUI would be worth paying for...HINT.
