  • The steps to turn a normal .exe into a screensaver .exe are trivial; stuff like specifying a different window class and closing on user input. It'd be good to expand the range of things Construct can make. Maybe presentations and websites next?

  • I think both are important; tracking objects through C++ in the plugin would be marginally quicker than eventing it yourself with a parsing system, also.

    An easy to use yet highly powerful online object is definitely what Construct needs. I wonder if mK will ever come back

  • Although Direct-X is what's been written, don't forget that there is an SDL renderer in the works, which supports OpenGL very easily.

    The discussion about which is better depends on what you're talking about, a rough idea is here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... d_Direct3D

    OpenGL is harder to work with programatically; but there really isn't much difference in rendering speeds.

  • Very nice work Hooray for e-mail notifications to topics too.

    I've uploaded it; the .cfg files needed some changing but otherwise it worked first time. The title header text seems a bit dulled on the green to me, though it may be my laptop screen. I've forgotten how the old one looked to be honest.

  • Ah, I guess I wasn't accounting for the different types (they were all just an orange circle).

    Thanks for the effort though

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • He wasn't kidding; change an exported .exe to .scr and try it.

    Edit, tested this a bit more

    The following would need to be done:

    • Make any key/mouse movement close it (manually doable)
    • Ability to change strings like name/author
    • Configuration dialog

    But essentially they are just renamed .exe files.

  • If you're willing to make this into a green style (about 5 images would need a recolouring) I'd like to upload that too it'd look pretty similar to the old one then, if people miss it.

  • I'd imagine 'On Object in LOS' was triggered only once when an object moved into line of sight, and the other returns true or false constantly depending on whether an object is in line of sight.

  • I've uploaded it; it seems to look quite nice

  • I'm sorry you lost the work; did you not enable autobackup during development?

    It's much more likely that stuff in-memory went wrong and then was saved to both sources than anything else, though with the .cap I'm sure Ashley can find where this happened and hopefully fix it.

  • I guess so, then

  • 3.0.1 to be on the safe side, but I don't know for sure.
