I've just finished my game for the GMTK2019 gamejam but the game just shows as a black blank screen...

I have exported the game with construct, put it in a zip file and uploaded it to ich.io

what am i missing?

that worked perfectly! thanks a lot!

I'm working on a game where lots of differently sized objects constantly overlap one another, so something that occurs often is that small objects get hidden underneath the larger ones. I thought i would group them all up, take their width and send the smaller ones to the front of the bigger ones.

It seems pick by Nth instance is what I should be using but I can't make it work no matter what I try.

Any ideas?

Thank you, that worked perfectly!

Hello!

I've been struggling to wrap my head around LayerToCanvas and CanvasToLayer, how they work and how to use them. I've managed to hunt down a few examples that were both great but I couldn't take much away from them and still don't fundamentally understand how they are supposed to function.

I have a simple setup in mind:

1) A sprite spawns an explosion on a standard layer that scrolls rapidly with a 100% parallax rate

2) The explosion immediately becomes attached to the top layer which has 0% parallax

The intended outcome should be an explosion that doesn't scroll with the camera.

If anyone can help with this I'd be very grateful.

Thank you both! I think PhoneGap will be my first try, it seems straight forward enough.

So, everywhere I look on how to build a mobile game, it seems I need to use Intel XDK. Intel XDK has been discontinued for over a year. What do you guys use as an alternative?

Dalal, that worked beautifully, and much less complicated than i had anticipated! thank you so much!

Kali, i'm gonna check that plugin out, thanks for the tip!

thanks for the quick reply! when you write math, time, e, etc. in the formula, what is this referring to? is it a valid expression or do i need some plugin?

sorry for sounding like an idiot but how does that formula translate to a workable construct event? this level of math is way over my head.

I've been pulling hairs trying to create a versatile formula that basically would make something wobble. i have two needs for this formula, first is to make a sprite wobble by manipulating width/height, second to have the sprite move and wobble when reaching its end location.

Here's an image that hopefully shows what i'm trying to create:

Depending on the initial momentum, the sprite should oscillate at the end point until it has stopped.

Here's a cap example:

Both sprites are using the sine behaviour and none of them work correctly.

-the sprite that changes width flips after reaching the mid point (shrinking and getting narrow is fine, but not flipping!)

-the sprite that moves horizontally only wobbles from its initial location instead of moving from point A to point B, this makes me think sine is probably not the answer to this question, i think...

I was hoping that someone with knowledge could poke me in the right direction on how to get this formula done.

thanks a lot, that's exactly what i wanted to know
