  • Hi all,

    there is'n any magic or extraordinary code behind the EXE

    <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    In Visual Studio I have simply created a window filled with a "Web Browser" component. This is a standard component in the Visual Studio tools and it's just integrated on any version of Windows OS (so you have no need to download / install something).

    The "Web Browser" component is an interface of Internet Explorer, so it's functionality depends from the installed version of Internet Explorer. For this reason, if you have IE 8, the EXE / the game will not work because version 8 doesn't support HTML5.

    The EXE I have distributed is a ZIP file containing:

    • the game files, exported from Construct with HTML5 exporter
    • the EXE I've created with Visual Studio that execute the game (it loads the index.html file)

    When you click the distributed EXE, all files are extracted in the temporary folder and automatically the "EXE launcher" is executed to start the game.

    It's just an experiment to see if it's possible to wrap a Construct HTML5 game for distributing it in EXE format. I've seen in other posts that someone wanted for it. I think actually this is the only way to "convert" an HTML5 game to EXE. A real conversion without a web component I don't know if it's possible or maybe a few complex, considering that the HTML5 guide lines are not definitive.

    Thanx,

    Steven

  • Hello,

    just for curiosity I've realize in Visual Studio a litte wrapper for the HTML5 game produced by Construct 2.

    It's a single .EXE file: launch it and the game starts.

    It's a wrapper, so it contains a Construct2 game (you have to move a cat jumping to evitate some obstacles) and the wrapper that loads the game inside a window (using the Internet Explorer engine).

    If you want to try it and leave me some impression, I thank you all.

    It's downloadable here: http://www.progettistart.it/Construct2%20-%20Sample%20game%20html5%20to%20EXE.zip

    Bye,

    Steven

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • I have now the same problem with release 80.

    In my case this what happens:

    • Insert new object
    • Tiled background
    • cross mouse pointer to insert the object
    • after clicked, the "Edit image: Tiled background" opens
    • I do nothing, I simply click the [X] close button to exit, but the window stays opened and Construct is blocked.
    • If I repeat this procedure and I try to add an image, the image appears in the edit window, but the window can't be closed and sometimes Construct crashes.

  • Ehm, no Hellwalker, as Ashy says, I'm talking about Construct software, not about a project.

    The window of Construct has that problem, not a project created with Construct.

  • Hello,

    each time I start Construct application its window is automatically maximized/resized in full screen. OK, then I can resize manually the window, but isn't possible to let the application in a standard size so that the user decides if to go in fullscreen? Or better, when the user close Construct in a certain window size and position and then restart it, Construct is in that size and position.

    Thanx

  • Hello,

    I'm creating an italian web site dedicated to Construct. It's under development, but I've just uploaded the Home Page as a preview of the layout.

    http://construct.stevnet.com

    All are welcome!

    STEVEN

  • Oh, perfect!!! I will wait for 1.0 release.

    Thanx

  • Hello,

    first of all compliments for the application. It's fantastic.

    Is it possible to realize a simple system to allow a fast translation of the software?

    I'm italian and I would like to translate it?
