Well, I found this page that was somewhat helpful but it doesn't explain what do the students actually learn at a particular age. I mean the what diffenrent subjects they learn, the syllabus etc. I've always heard from people who have went abroad to some western countries that the education system there is simple compared to countires like India, Japan etc.

If you have a few minutes then would some of you care to write a few things about the education system in your country? Like what subjects do you have and maybe list a few concepts that you learn in those subjects. You don't need to write everything, so just write something about what is the stuff you learn when you are 17-18 years old. (grade XI-XII).

Note: I am just curious, nothing more. I passed my school exams a few days ago(grade XII) and will be going to college in October. The last few months (Dec 2010- April 2011) have been horrible to me, giving tests after tests every month, waking up late at night 3-4AM just mugging up stuff. It seems that the pressure from the school authorities, parents, relatives is really high here when compared to western countires, I just want to verify it.

People with fried desktops allowed here?

I recently blew up my desktop's motherboard. On my brother's laptop now. But I can't do any work on that, it's really uncomfortable. I can't use for more than a hour without cramping my neck. Desktops are way better than laptops.

On the brighter side, I'll be getting a brand new desktops in a few weeks.

First of all, change from yolasite to something better like wordpress, blogger, blog.com etc. Even though these are mostly used for blogging, it's way better than yolasite.

Added next part!

Shit I completely forgot about this contest.

If I can somehow stop myself from playing HalfLife 2, then maybe I could whip out something in these 10 days.

Maybe keep the next challenge a bit shorter like 2-5 days so people don't forget about it.

something like this?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5811650/starfield.cap

comments are there in the cap file for some help.

EDIT: Saw your PM, maybe the problem is that 'star' sprites are facing in the wrong direction. Try comparing your attempt and the example above, the rotating handle of the sprite in the above example is facing downwards and in Construct be default are facing towards right (so you have to change it)

yeah, I too would like too see the cap.

Images stored in the 'Photos' can't be shared, you should store them in the Public folder.

Right now, only you can probably see those images since you've logged in your Dropbox account.

I have some free time now, maybe I'll start working on remaining of the 'vertical shooter' tutorial series, as soon as my computer gets repaired.

Under no circumstance should you try to make an RPG in four weeks. Not even a basic, simple one. RPGs, even simple ones, are far, far more complex than they seem. My 'simple' RPG is so far 2 1/2 YEARS in the making (not fulltime, but regardless - a LOT of work)! Go for the scroller instead!

Arima is right, you'll never be able to finish a RPG in 4 weeks, probably try something simplier like a short platformer or something similar.

You could give us some screenshots of each step of how you are trying to export the game. Maybe we could help then.

That's wierd, Construct by default exports an .exe(it can't export in any other format) and it's strange that Windows is not recognizing an exe file.

Maybe you deleted the ".exe" part in the export path?

It's the only way I can think of. Or maybe it's because of some virus like lucid mentioned.

newt:

even though you don't want to be rude, saying something like that often hurts people. He may be a bit over eager and asks on the forum without looking up on the wiki or searching the forum. Wait sometime, he'll be all right.

lucid: Win XP with Win98 theme, I like it more than the usual XP one, plus this theme matches my wallpaper.
