Try it out and see! It appears to be possible..but if you have an account you can tell if it uses HTTPS or not.

I am still skeptical of how well the regular desktop will function considering it will be an app, that usually translates to slower. At least it does in my experience.

Your thinking about the regular desktop the wrong way. Think about the Metro Desktop app like a HTML5 program calling a fast C++ program. The actual desktop is still C++ and blazing fast..it isn't any slower that the old one. The only thing that is slower is launching of the desktop, but the human eye can't tell the difference in speed.

All these recent posts have been full of WIN!!! Really liking the look of DravenX's Othelia eeriness and that game layout that Rockwell showed..looks pro.

I just installed the Win 8 developer preview on one of my laptops. First impressions is it is pretty slick. I liked the Metro interface for quickly running apps and the browser. The overall speed was nice and as Ashley mentioned you get the regular desktop by clicking the desktop app. It was a little harder at first to find all the stuff I normally use, but after about an hour or two I had it down. One awesome service is the Azure platform where you can have online games using Microsoft's cloud.

I disliked that you can't exit apps without going to task manager, but maybe that is because it is a preview build. The IE10 browser while nice it takes the whole screen is nowhere as convenient as tabbed browsing, etc..which is why on 8 they have two browsers. On a desktop I'd never use the Metro IE10.

One odd thing is I can't login to Scirra.com on my WIndows 8 box. I tried both IE browsers and Chrome on Win 8. Odd....

Overall, I think 8 will be a hit. I wonder if Construct 2 will have an exporter for Metro apps since HTML5 is one language that can be used to build Metro apps. That would be awesome.

Yeah sounds like he wants them to login to this website:

spruz.com

via the app and then do something with that.

It is for sure possible with Python and maybe possible with HTTP object as the site does not appear to require HTTPs authentication.

Almost all of the info is in the tutorials. Just need to dig through them better and search for examples as well on your topic.

I will say that making a local or network 2-player game is significantly harder than a single player game so there are not many examples of that...

>> 1. How do I make a title screen with this program?

scirra.com/forum/examples-tutorials-list_topic41594.html

Look under HUD section

2. How do I make a interactive menu screen that uses the keyboard to navigate with, all that features a 1 or 2 player option, with a options menu with the features to adjust the controls and screen size?

Same as above

3. How do I make a two player game? And how do I make it where the both >>players are on the same area? Not share the same screen, but the same >>platform area.

A splitscreen game? Look under the "Cameras" section in JamesX tutorial list above

4. How do I make the game include the feature of a netplay option with two players?

scirra.com/forum/plugin-network-v03a-update_topic43662.html

5. What plugins do I need to have all of these features?

Depends on how fancy you end up getting. Probably Network and Magicam plugins at the minimum...rest depends on you.

I'd try out some of the tutorials then ask more specific questions.

Great idea, I was too lazy to use gravatar but I kinda like the robot I got! :-)

Fun little game. I played on hard until $27,300. Then I had to kill myself as I felt I could go on forever.

this guide is genius! I'm going to try it out on my Android. :-)

> Maybe I shouldn't have posted this, but, well, I'm someone who needs feedback.

I posted the same exact thing in my tutorials so I think you should too..it's being real. I can't stand not hearing anything too!

I do think you should be getting a lot more downloads...which would hopefully increase the feedback although maybe not the percentage of feedback. We should get Verve added to sourceforge page and to JamesX list of tuts. I got more downloads when my tuts got added to both those locations.

321 downloads so far - and no comment for 7 month now.

I guess it isn't as helpful as I thought <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I wouldn't get too discouraged...I've had over 3,000 downloads of the Mickey's adventure tutorials without a single comment!! And 1,000+ downloads for python online tut without a comment so I think this is common on forums. There have been of course comments as a whole but the tutorials have had over 10,000+ downloads.

I don't think people realize that showing some quick appreciation for hard effort is very appreciated. :-)
