Yes, it's more than possible with Construct.

But. I've tried something like this and now I'm telling you: "I would start at a smaller project first" Step by step, mate, step by step.

Ok, I'm writing here.

Finally I got it

But it works well!

Anyway it is something different than I've thought. But nevermind

Hi!

Are you creating a map-editor, I suppose?

It's interesting. I have an idea HOW TO do it, but have never tried :]

My map-generator is abandoned right now. Funny, it was my first big project on Construct.

Now I'm trying to do another thing.

(and it's neccessary to create map-editor but not right now)

So, it's good for both of us to communicate.

I did this stuff (auto map-generator)

It is messy, overblown and somewhat undone... don't wanna show it to anyone : )) but it works.

I can tell you - I'm using one big array for the map (2D). For example:

0000000000
0001111000
0001111000
0001111000
0000000000[/code:11qivovx]
1- is room-tile (it can be other symbol)
0 - is clear space

Also I've created an algorythm to spawn rooms and corridors ramdomly like.. like chain, you know. One by one (and it's possible to do some ramification). 

Like this:
Room - corridor  - Room - corridor.
|
corridor
|
room.

Hope you understand something.  
I want to help you, so you can ask something

Also it's easy to create map-loader/saver (I've done it) array-txt. It can resolve your problem with text Manipulator (it's unnecessary).

What's the problem for you exactly ?

Turn-based game isn't much harder (or easier) to create than real-time

Just specify your question, please, ok?

-edit-

But I guess anyway you should try Grid Movement Behavior, maybe RTS Behavior. It can clear something.

It's not a useless feature, but only not obligatory.

newt,

thank you very much! It works nicely.

I should learn more about custom movement behavour - it's so powerful stuff

Damn you, there went my morning, lol. I just quit playing that after clicking your link! That's a fun game, never seen it before!

soooorry

You know Armor Games made some other physics-based games on Flash. I like them.

(oh.. sorry again )

Be free, give it for free.

Trial is one of the shittiest things in our world.

P.S. ALso there is no protection that noone could hack

You mean 0.99.7? Well, don't know, it's unstable. I'll rather wait

I think Construct is the best for arcade games, but you can create games of all other genres with some tricks. Yes, sometimes you should code a lot but it's easier for me than to do it with 'grand' programming languages (actually I suck on those languages and have no choise).

Construct is intuitive at maximum and that's the best feature.

Also I'm not a pro at Construct, so it's just opinion based on my experience.

newt,

I can't open your cap

Construct 0.99.62 crashes with message "An unknown error occured while accessing an unnamed file".

Is it known issue? It's strange. How did Lost my Keys open it? : ()
