great so far!

what 3D software do you use?

does text to speech work for anyone? i get nothing...

pretty neat but still a bit too transparent (in that you can see how it works and it doesn't really look like a flamethrower).

Nice work mate

Bit of a jack-of-all-trades really... bit like myself... little bit of this and a little bit of that. Thumbs up!

yup. being in college makes it easier -- i'm really enjoying picking up these extra skills. i made some earings recently as part of a metalsmithing class. i think i'll look into taking a print screening class next semester.

Here is a friend of mine wearing them.

BTW where do you get sprites as gifs like that ?

http://ggxlol.highervoltage.net/ <-- tons of guilty gear sprites

wish i knew of more sites like that for other game series.

I put the two animations next to each other, the original feels like it has more frames because of the skin revealed on the tighs...it makes the leg in the foreground and the leg in the background more distinguised...

good observation. i thought the animation looked jumpy, too.

perhaps he could add a detail on one leg -- a bag, holster, or just a band around it or something.

I've yet to see a use of this that didn't look or feel like a gimmick. The cube game is the first thing I think I've ever seen game-wise that I might not get bored of in 10 minutes.

While I like the idea of adding such a feature, I hope it doesn't come for a while yet (unless someone else outside scirra adds it - Construct is open-source after all.).

Sounds like a post-1.0 feature.

Construct already has webcam support, and i've linked to a great computer vision framework that is open source -- integrating this open source framework shouldn't require nearly as much effort as them developing their own implementation on their own.

the PS3 game Eye of Judgment actually brings legitimate advantages through this technology. computer vision is what makes it possible to use the same cards in local matches against other players, local matches against computer AI opponents, and online matches.

this technology is largely unexplored for games, but i think there's definitely potential for cool things. what mainly prompted this thread's creation was me playing with the webcam object in Construct and seeing that it is basically useless -- you cannot manipulate or utilize the video input in any way... it is just there. and this computer vision stuff is open source -- if i knew my way around c++, i'd try to do it myself. sure, it's not something that should be a top priority, but i think it should be a priority. it would not only expand on the types of games and applications construct can make, but it would expand the potential audience of construct. there is a lot of value in an intuitive development environment that can utilize a wide variety of inputs.

edit: there's even a python client using the open source framework --

pretty neat.

and..

going to guess one event.

*writing that bug report submission now*

That's weird...

Post your cap.

did it work for you...? or did you not try?

here's a cap and .exe anyway. it's the same whether i change direction at runtime or if i set it as part of the platform object's behavior.

I can't seem to repoduce the bug you are talking about, but I have disabled bunny hop and overall it's a better feel anyway. I meant to take that off before but I forgot lol. I'm gonna crash out for now though, it's after 3am... will check tomorrow when I'm more awake and sober. Cheers again for testing this out. I want the movement eingine to be solid before I start making levels and stuff.

That's what I am using. I think I need to make a "reset event" then call that event after certain actions are performed.

~Sol

weird... because i created a test app that tests whether or not private values are reset when layout is restarted (change layout to itself). global values aren't reset but private values are reset.

my character just freezes in place. down and right seem to work fine.

Essentially, computer vision is the ability to recieve video input and be able to recognize and distinguish different shapes.

an open source framework is available here: http://reactable.iua.upf.edu/?software

a demonstration of it can be watched here:

facetracking installation:

I think my new media professor and classmates would be much more interested in Construct if it offered computer vision capabilities. It would allow a wider audience, but also a wider variety in the games you could make. Coupled with Construct's current abilities, comprehensive computer vision input and analysis would open up the doors to tons of possibilities.
