Ah I see, didn't know that ,thanks!

Do you mean inverted? (events with an X next to them?) That just means to only trigger in the opposite case (eg: if myVariable = 1 when inverted becomes the same as "If myVariable is not 1"). You can right-click an event and invert it.

It must be 60fps. Even snes run games at 60fps.

Hehe, well yeah that would be a whole other level of awesome!

glerikud I'd love if C3 had support for my 2D retro-arcade-styled game to run at 30FPS solid-all-the-time

And although it sounds like people are just whiners/dreamers/unreal, users just want something that doesn't feel like an update but rather want an actually new program, especially since they will be paying for it (in some form, anyway). The differences between CC and C2 are huge, that's what we'd hope for C3. For a mainly editor-only update, I would hope that third party developers can make very powerful plugins for the editor, so that Quazi's Q3D plugin can handle the 3D while Scirra keep working on the 2D.

For people trying to do booleans for right now here's two methods...

Method A:

If myVariable = 0 (IF FALSE)

If myVariable = 1 (IF TRUE)

Set myVariable = 1 - myVariable (TOGGLE BOOLEAN BETWEEN 1 AND 0)

Set myVariable = 0 (FALSE)

Set myVariable = 1 (TRUE)

Method B:

If myVariable = -1 (IF FALSE)

If myVariable = 1 (IF TRUE)

Set myVariable = myVariable * -1 (TOGGLE BOOLEAN BETWEEN 1 AND -1)

Set myVariable = -1 (FALSE)

Set myVariable = 1 (TRUE)

I actually hate dark GUI's, but I guess I'm a special case

Yup, that sounds perfect for C2 <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> Most things that are kind of "turn-based" or "point and click" like that should run very well.

The manual will help you learn a bit about individual objects, such as tiled background, sprite, touch (this one also handles mouse clicks, but if you need right-click and etc then use the Mouse object too), and spritefont: https://www.scirra.com/manual/1/construct-2

You'll probably want to check out the Tutorial section as well to search for parts of what you want to do: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/top

It might not have a full tutorial on what to do for your game specifically, but it will probably have tutorials on how to make clickable sprites, how to change layouts, etc. Hopefully you'll find it pretty quick to learn! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Also, welcome to the forums! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

Ashley should make a game - that way he can experience some of the issues that only surface in complex projects, and can't be reproduced in simple capx files. And it will also provided some valuable insight for C2 developers into how this engine can best be utilised to get the best results.

I agree with this idea, although it may seem like a waste of time it's probably really important to do that just to see how C2 works beyond the small template/example level.

Maybe even just hire some C2 devs to work together with him on a large-ish game to speed up that process.

There is a memory/registry hack you can do to Windows if it's the icon thing (as well as disabling icon cache), I forget the topic it was mentioned in though but it's related to windows handles.

Construct 2 has a free version you can try out, and if you'd like to make and sell games that work on both mobile and desktop then it's worth buying. Construct Classic works okay though for Windows-only games.

I'd been keen on a Kickstarter if it would include them hiring a couple of extra developers. This one man team is amazing, but 2+ would be better.

This.

This this this this this this this x1000

That's for Construct 2, not sure of how to do that for Construct Classic as I never worked with video myself but there might be a plugin for it if I remember correctly.
