You should be able to get it working on Linux using something like virtual box it?s free.

It also has a seem-less mode so it will hide the virtual Windows OS desktop but draw Windows apps over the top of the desktop of Gnome. Performance would be slightly affected. I tried thid in Contract Classic last year but it obviously had issue with directx. Shouldn't be a problem in contract 2!

I think it would be really advantageous having a choice to use Vector graphics as well. If not creation tools but some basic manipulation tools would be useful.

Fixed! Runs very smoothly on the old quadrofx card.

opened space blaster example c2r53

click onto the 'game' layout

move around and zoom the layout with middle mouse button. there was a delay, window redraw would update after a few seconds and not instant as expected.

It's slow with the quadrofx card mentioned above but much faster on a different system with a gforce card.

It runs a lot smoother and a lot more usable on my home PC which runs Intel Xeon E5320, Vista 64-bit, 4GB RAM, and Nvidia geforce 8800GT. If it is the GPU then that quadrofx card is real old and crappy. I see this as a reason not to use Construct with it and stick to a gamer card.

I'll have a chance to test a newer Quardro 4000 and maybe a firepro V9800 sometime soon just to see <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

loaded the space blaster example and the game layout view in Construct 2 UI is very very slow when scrolling moving the layout view.

game runs fine.

Shouldn't this be listed here

ok thanks Ashley. I see if that will work. I a want to create a parallax scrolling effect using 3 layers of tiled backgrounds. Otherwise I�ll wait for an update build :-)

but how do you create an object using an expression statement. In construct classic you can right click System > Create Object and use an expression. In c2 I can't seem to do that?

thanks

Anyone know the answer?

Is it possible in construct 2 to use expressions to create objects on the layouts? I want to use the for loop to create a series of tiled background repetitively in a row. Each tile graphic is slightly different. I want to use the for loop to cycle through a set of tile-background names. I can do this in Construct Classic but could not find a way to use an expression to do the same thing in version 2?

A proud paying customer towards Construct 2!
