The conclusion of this thread would interest me.

I am a fan of language discussions.

Greetings Exalted One.

At first I'd ve suggested you Python, but I remember your thoughts against it.

Second I found these sources:

• The kid's programming language, or its successor:

http://phrogram.com/kpl.aspx

• A multimedia programming kit:

http://processing.org/

-A universities' favorite teaching prog language:

May thy daugter's path be deligthful and prosperous.

Great music so far, keep 'em coming!!!

What's your pick?

I vote for the 1st one, fine, indeed !

Many, including Martin Galway tunes remixed - like Green Beret + Rambo / Commando - at:

http://remix.kwed.org/index.php?search=green+beret

Worth listening to! These muzaks get remixed even nowadays!

Greets.

Do you have favorite - preferably oldie - game music?

For example:

Monty on the run / c-64

Would also define target audience's age group.

For the very youngs: the cheaper the more sales, I'd guess, but probably at least for 5$.

(The N game is free of charge, and is said to be downloaded 2 mill. times.)

Making Construct horoscope-wise a Scorpion was a wise choice

It is able to perform more than it shows.

Thanx to the revered Team for making such a kewl editor, in addition for free.

Hope its future will be as glorious and joyful for us as its past has been.

I heard from IT teachers, they prefer teaching Python for starters, as it is without any unnecessary stuff, so it is clean and brief. So for the first objective - to think like a computer programmer - it fulfills easily its purpose. It forces you to use the advanced Object oriented programming - that kind of thinking also takes quite a few weeks to take up.

It will also quickly grant you success for hobby tasks, as its external libraries are very fine, (Pygame,...) I took up Python this summer, and created a playable platformer remake in approx 1100 lines. Pygame is so kewl.

However, for long-term business purposes, C# seems to be a more solid choice.

So would suggest learning the basic programming and advanced OOP thougths with Python - for quite a few months. Then perhaps familiarize yourself with libraries (Pygame - for gfx and game creation), and if you are not pleased switch to the versatile C# in the meantime.

Bad habits can be picked up in C++ itself, mixing pure C with C++ methods. For clean OOP thinking python will teach you good grounds.

Also look at other opinions on net:

With all due respect, if you want to promo an engine, you should be thinking in the now, not the 90's.

... Games made with "8-bit" graphics (kind of a misnomer, really, since the SNES that they typically emulate was a 16-bit console) serve only as nostalgia anymore and are part of the reason nobody takes 2D games seriously. Again, doesn't mean they're bad games. But I would hardly call them advanced.

Dear Gmerriment,

engine promoting is not my objective, I just mentioned it on a side-note in a post as so appealing hi-tech games were introduced.

My aim was to look for complex games - with high res. gfx or not - which are compex /advanced in their realisation tech (programming), or grant a complex /advanced gameplay (not just a lonely walking sprite to be seen). That is why I mentioned 8,16 bit era games as examples, as imho Construct games seem to be more enhanced grafically than gameplaywise. I look for the opposite.

Also Thanx for your examples, thougts, good for comparision.

When you create a profile the game creates a "Saved Games" folder in the same location of the .exe. Is your .exe inside a protected folder, or in a .zip file?

None. The "saved games" folder was not created in root dir, only in a subdir it succeeded.

Game is very nice, although a bit slow paced for me.

Cant run game.

When creating a profile, it gets deleted at once, and cant pass that screen.

Thanx for the nice .cap example!

Hope it would turn a bit more tutorial-like for at least topics not so novice, like:

-lerp

-timedelta

-pick one at random

-functions

-effects

Eagerly waiting for more.

Thanx for the Editor Cleartype visuals and Font change !

My prayers have been listened to.
