I don't understand why anybody would shoot down supporting gamepads in a game engine. To be honest, I don't know why any game released wouldn't support gamepads. I agree wholeheartedly that making sure gamepad support is flawless and thorough should be a top priority.

This.

And this:

So yeah, it's solved now. Yes it should be built-in, but hey, it works now so it's good.

( and I had asked, several times on several threads )

I would imagine you could do it similarly to how a motion blur effect works, just with a much slower update-rate.

No.

A shader only has access to the current textures. Motion blur does not have an update-rate, thus you cannot slow it down.

Clones is the way to go.

Unless you want the trail to have the CURRENT frame of the sprite (that is, the sprite and trail change frames at the same time) in which case I remember writing a variation of motion blur that had a trail, but that's also limited to a boundary around the sprite...... short story, it's best to use clones in that case too.

What are your feelings on shooters?

Which ones do you enjoy the most? Shooting upwards, carefully avoiding enemy fire and judging when to use which firing mode? or moving about wildly while aiming with your SECOND GAMEPAD STICK?

Could you say WHY you enjoy that style? (gets you pumped, relaxes you, lets you focus, etc)

Thanks

How do non-solid offscreen objects affect performance?

I might have a Jillion of them :s

no nO NO! don't encourage this! This is not a "challenging" game. This is an incorrectly balanced game! It is the most common mistake ever, It's bad and it needs to be corrected.

I did find it REALLY easy from the beginning.

I did find some of the saw jumps rather ill-designed, which becomes quickly annoying.

Also, please PLEASE check the proportions in your characters. They have tiny deformed legs.

What do you mean by dummy hit box? [...] would have to use per pixel collisions anyways, since it's the only type of collision mode that works with rotated sprites.

For a dummy hitbox, use a box. It rotates and does not use per-pixel collision, as it has no pixel definition.

do share

Wow I can't believe I hadn't tried this one out! it's awesome!

And as a lover of horror stories.... I wish for a different ending I was like "aw that was going so well"

I did the global thing and it works perfectly

The change you mention sounds much clearer, although I can use it as it is with this clarification (yay!)

I'm having some trouble

It works awesomeLY, but for some reason when I try it in my game, it refuses to recognize controls by their name ("on control", etc)

So.... halp? I really don't understand why it won't work here. I deleted everything in my game except for the bare minimum and it still won't work.

Actually, given the direction things are going right now, I believe web is a pretty damn good first choice (via canvas!).

After that... I'd still go for consoles >_<

Also, that doesn't sound "more advanced" at all.

Construct is pretty damn advanced as it is.

Perhaps take the time to learn it?
