Or it might be that he's using Noise 2.0 and Lucid is using the original Perlin Noise plugin in this example.

Lucid that is awesome. I have no idea how it works though as I haven't had the time to play with it yet. I'm going to mess with it tonight, but that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I want planets that do this. The surface of that circle is generated with one dimensional perlin noise - ignore my terrible paint art. It's for demonstration purposes.

I want the circle to split open on the opposite side, and "unroll" as you move in, into a platformer level, and once you land, platformer controls take over. If you move in a bit and then back out, it should form back into a circle. I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but ideally it will also orient with the bottom of the screen and blow up in size.

If this makes any sense to you, and you have any idea how to make it work - please respond, because that would be a dream come true for me. I'm not sure if it would require an effect, or a custom plugin, but I have the resources to make it work, if I had any idea where to start.

can I get the cap for this in construct classic? thanks I'd like to learn from your project

I have been discussing open sourcing this with the rest of the team...they aren't enthusiastic about it at this time, but perhaps I can swing a few votes. I'm working on it. Keep in mind that even if I did open source it - a lot of it is in the form of a custom plugin (straight C++ code), that was not meant for public consumption. It's quite homebrew. If you can sort through that, you could probably do something with this.

We migrated from Unity to this - not the other way around.

I think an obvious suggestion would be to include actual embedded HTML 5 samples on the tutorial/samples pages.

Declare an action in main.h, define it in Actions.cpp, and give it an ACE entry in ACE Table.cpp

Delimit them with the pipe character: '|'. It is on shift-\.

You will hear differing opinions from person to person, but Construct Classic is quite capable of large projects. Even more so if you know a little C++ and want to get your hands dirty in the SDK.

That's a pretty vague error. Is there any way you can clarify what's going on a little better? Maybe post a log or something?

Unresolved externals usually happen when you forget to include a lib file with your project.

Oooh, I'll have to include this with the next build of Noise.

More than likely libnoise.dll is not in the Construct directory.

To be honest, debugging is kind of a pain in the ass too. You have to perform these steps:

• Batch build debug and debug runtime.
• Move them into the Construct directory.
• Boot up Construct.
• Build a test program cap using the new plugin, so that Temp.exe is updated.
• Finally, set your IDE to debug with Temp.exe and run it.

Sometimes this doesn't even work for some reason, but this seems to be the only way to do it. Every time you make a minor change to the code, while debugging, you have to perform these steps. So yeah save yourself the trouble and run in release and runtime unless you absolutely have to debug. Debug also runs slower, which for most plugins will be an unnoticable difference unless they are processor intensive. I noticed a slowdown with GridTree running in debug.

The latest example of a stack that I've used is parsing a mathematical expression with nested parentheses. I would receive a string from the user of a mathematical expression, such as (5+2*(4/(1+1))).

Now rather than let the compiler handle this on it's own, I can manually parse this using a stack. I had to do this because it was not actually a mathematical expression but a ruleset for the name generator in Muse. After the stack was filled, it looked like this: ((())).

It was a stack of parentheses, and in a for loop I would wait until the last one was a ( and the current one was a ). At that point I would solve everything in between them since I was in the inner most pair of them, then replace that section of the expression with the solution, and start over again after popping them off the stack.
