  • For a theme: Indiana Jones/archaeologist egypt tomb

    Keep in mind several holidays are coming up, and this would fit.

  • Not really a pattern. Higher multiples of the same object rather than seeming to switch back and forth.

  • Kind of a Timberman clone, not to be judgy.

    I would play more off the bomb aspect, maybe add a timer with a ticking sound effect.

    Needs way less randomisation. You have to get the player used to a pattern, then switch it up.

  • Well that doesn't mean they can't be sprites.

    While it isn't ideal, Construct is well suited to working with a bunch of sprites in this way.

    I would also gamble that for the "not so advanced" user, this may be the best way given that Construct will stear new users to use objects rather than math.

  • Ok. Does it work on Construct?:

    Is it 2d?:

    Yes

    Is it 3d?:

    Probably not

    Does it rely on tens of thousands of objects doing something simultaneously, and require precise timing less than 10 milliseconds?:

    Ehh, depends on hardware.

    Is it one button publishing?:

    No. In fact it's just as hard to publish to other platforms as it is in other editors in most cases.

  • It's the same.

    The only thing that would be better would be transparent, since then it's not even drawn.

  • Doesn't matter. It's only when an object is doing something, moving, rotating, flashing, etc that matters, and even then it's usually a minimal cost, per instance.

  • You might check the collision polygon.

  • Depends on how you look at it.

    Technically it's still just 2d.

  • Im not sure about C3, but you R0j0's plug allows sampling r g and b independently, as well as the alpha, of course it would be the same for all three.

    Its limited to 255 for the channels, and 0 to 1 for alpha, but then again its "millions of colors" as a composite.

    Getting pixel data from henky gpu's is another argument all together.

  • Heh, don't forget Canvas, you get r,g,b, and a at xy.

    With a few caveats...

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • You can see it, but reading it, even un-minified is gobbledygook.
