Thanks chrisbobs, your catapult project is helping me alot.

I've been trying to add a launch guide upon dragging the pole back. The guide is a long, straight arrow sprite that should stretch out further when the catapult is drawn further back.

Been tweaking the position/angle/width of the 'elastic' sprite just to test, but I still can't arrive at the right formula.

Can I get some help on like arriving at a solution?

Try this:

Well... all the games made with C2, that I tried, online, not with phonegap, have sounds problems on my computer (with Chrome)

So... it's not just phonegap...

What problem's are you having?

If you post details, I'm sure someone will have a solution.

I just got it to work.

tokenat("one/two/three", 2, "/")

gave me the result: three

'You could always fill a text object and "analyze" its content with system expressions like tokenat.'

This sounded like the best(easiest) option, but i doesnt seem to work.

As a test, I tried the example in 'system expressions':

tokenat(src, index, separator)

Return the Nth token from src, splitting the string by separator. For example, tokenat("apples|oranges|bananas", 1, "|") returns oranges.

Here is a screen shot after i entered the information in my project:

Thanks for the example, but I am still using R70. I downloaded R71 but not installed it yet, after seeing a few ' fixed in next build ' posts about it.

Anybody tried this Chrome extension?

'Im really annoyed by the audio situation on HTML5'

The sound on HTML5 games made with Construct works fine...It's when using Phonegap that the problem arises.

I think this method with sound sprites on iOS is already discussed here:

   Yes, thats the one i mention in the post (i didnt have the link)

I tried it on my iPhone and it works fine but I'm repeating here that there is still a problem with sounds on iOS in offline mode because there are no caching audio on iOS!

Do the sounds play on IOS when online?

Any chance you could post an example capx showing how you got it to work? I am still struggling to get my head round it.

Question1

I have an offscreen text object(1) that is made up of 10 paragraphs.

When the player clicks on a button (1 to 12) I want the a second text object to display the chosen paragraph (button number)

Couldnt find anything on the forums.

Question 2

If the above cannot be done, can i use the webstorage or ajax object to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

I came across this on the internet-

Build and publish an HTML5 game for ipad (3 part tutorial)

The project was not done with Construct, but the section about getting the sound to work might be of interest.

I think 'Pode' posted something similar 11/12/2011.

Im trying to look at your example chrisbrobs, but construct is telling me i need the touchmouse plugin, which i have..

I have removed the touchmouse plugin from the example....it wasn't required.

If you download the capx file it should work ok now.

Hi i am new to construct 2, and let me begin by saying how much i enjoy this program and how simple and in-depth it is.

I am trying to create a typical physics game involving the same drag backwards and shoot feature that games like angry birds has, I have been having a lot of trouble creating this in events with the backwards motion to shoot forward. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, i tried to find some tutorials on this but i was unsuccessful, please direct me to one if i missed it. Thanks in advance!

Here's an example of a simple catapult

Hope this helps

It's not my tutorial, it's by TheOMP :)

Whoops.

It's at the bottom of the linked page by the way.

Cheers.

This is a question regarding your (Ashley) tutorial about uploading a game to Kongregate.

"Kongregate offers a Template on their site for the JavaScript API. Within this template is three files- Assets, Game.html and kongregate_shell.html. You only need the shell file."

I have searched the Kongregate site for this template but cannot find it...can you provide a link?

Sorry if I have missed something in the tutorial.
