Hello from Greece ! I' m creating a 2d space shooter using Construct! I really enjoy some features of construct but it's really annoying when it crashes every 20 minutes on my Laptop with the Intel Extreme graphics card I would like some help on the project...
1) First and most important : How could I set up different waves of enemies ? Maybe create a VERY large Layout, place them in position, scroll the layout and wait to move until they are visible?
2) For the scrolling effect, I plan to use some Star sprites which will be warped from bottom to top at several speeds. I 've tried it and it's functional... Do you think of a better solution ?
3) When I try to stop the player's sprite from moving outside the screen, the ship sticks for a while and it's really annoying for the player I use an event which checks if the Sprite's X (or Y) is less or equal to a max or min value and then if it's true I set the sprite's X (or Y) to that value. The ship can't move past that point, but when players wants to go away there is a slight delay.
Please check out the game in it's early stages : http://www.mediafire.com/?gj3iiyg0mbw
