I don't think you're missing anything. I have this same problem quite often.

sooo ... when is this going to become a plug in? =P

Great tutorial by the way. I haven't read through it in detail but the proof speaks for itself!

It is Python. It cannot be made into a plugin like this.

> That's Direct2D (based on DX10/DX11) - Construct draws with Direct3D 9, which is even more code...

How hard would it be to move to Direct X 11?

Most people do not have DirectX 11 graphics cards. Also, they do not have DirectX 10 or 11 for Windows XP.

Note: It is possible to run DirectX 10 on XP, but it isn't official or supported.

It's not the OS.

intermediate carry forward in time to progress. To R0J0hound who submitted a number of amendments to this version (I hope they work;) Thank you). I do not know David, built on the platform, including amendments - some confusion, to submit their code base, but I am rebuilding platform anyway, so let me know if anythings better (or worse?).

ah. It is good. All right.

15 MB is nothing. It has to be beyond ancient to have that little (meaning 16 MB). Almost everyone, and most "old" computers can easily spare 64-128 MB guaranteed. Since it sounds like you'll be far below 64 MB, you don't need to worry about it. If you want to go with 128, you should have no problems either.

Also, "new" GPUs...well, have at least 1 GB...

Finally, do some research for statistics on this. The Steam Hardware Survey might have VRAM stats, but those will be skewed much more towards computers with dedicated GPUs (which most people don't have). Most people have integrated GPUs which share system memory.

Edit: Remember, GPUs with only 16 MB of VRAM (shared or dedicated), might not even be able to run your game anyway. You should be more concerned with GPU optimization as it's so easy to make it too hard to run.

I think an array could easily be opened and edited. You just can't use notepad and expect it to be readable. I'm sure there are programs though or at least it'd be easy to make one if the method of storage is Construct specific.

Still, even if Scidave can do it, I'd like to know if this isn't more suited to a C++ plugin or something else. I wouldn't want to use Python for something it isn't suited for.

> as speaking on Fighting Game genre which is more exclusive then it ever was. That's what I meant by "some types".

If you mean what I think you mean, then that is more of a controller difference. RTS games tend to be easier with keyboard/mouse while fighting games are better with a controller.

Edit: It's funny though because PCs and Xbox 360s (PS3 too I'd assume as PS2 could do it) can use both keyboards/mice AND controllers. They're still more set up for their traditional input type, but they do have the support...

Actually, this generation has less exclusives. More games are multiplatform. Also, MS will pay for exclusives, while Sony and Nintendo refuse to. There's no reason for them to not be multiplatform if they won't get paid. There's one other thing too. The Xbox 360 is basically a streamlined gaming PC. It's almost not a port between the two. PS3 on the other hand is MUCH harder to develop for (multiplatform, let alone porting later). Wii, well, isn't as powerful anyway so "ports" are completely different games.

I guess MS totally fooled all the game developers and hardware creators who make almost everything with DX in mind, huh. They must totally not know their computer stuff.

If everything was made for OpenGL, everyone would use OpenGL. Also, OpenGL doesn't change as quickly as DirectX does. DX is controlled by a company. It's the standard.

Note: Remember that it is better to have a standard with this kind of thing at all. MS is good at keeping the standard going. How often does OpenGL change things or advertise or whatever? (serious question)

Just remember there will be someone who is able to hack your beta. It won't be hack-proof.
