I chase you around circle.... if your angle is higher than mine than I add speed counterclockwise, you have lower angle I go clockwise... but then you cross 360 and I am 346 then you angle 0 I must go all the way around circle!!

Please help me to catch you better! Thank you. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I am using the text object for dialogue in my game. Would be it better (performance wise) to load all the text (strings) to write from an .ini / hash table or to just write it all down in the action? It will add up to a lot of text. Or does it not even matter? I don't know how much memory and processing power something like this takes up.

Just started trying out Construct 2 for this new competition...

I understand attributes have been merged with behaviors... but there are also families yet?

If not how will I achieve a "is overlapping 'solid'" condition?

Thank you.

Here is an example from Construct Classic...

IN my opinion longer is better, but only if you are introducing new things, and not repeating the same boss battles with a slight twist to make them slightly harder.

The first time through Cave Story takes around 3 hours. SO I would say... about 3 hours.

My apologies, I meant angle of the sprite and not the angle of motion.

At any rate, even with you misunderstanding what I meant you still answered my question for a trigonometric solution to calculating X and Y. I am still trying to understand where these triangles are being formed.

Thank you so much!

In the custom movement behavior you can move objects "horizontally" and "vertically" according to a specified angle of orientation. I thought, "this will be perfect for my 2d planet game where there is no 'up' or 'down'-- its all relative! I now realize this might be more math than I anticipated.

Is there a way to get this relative "horizontal" and "vertical" speed of an object, and not just it's X and Y speed?

Better yet, can someone take a look at this cap and tell me if there is a better way to do this? In addition to this road block I have hit, there are numerous other little flaws in my custom movement platform behavior. I feel there is some sort of elegant trigonometric solution to all my problems that I am unable to see...

I am wondering, are there any other 2d games with this concept:

youtube.com/watch

I am thinking about doing some experiments and elaborating more on this idea-- however I would definitely first like to know if there are any other games that have used this-- so that I can know just how much more creative I have to be!

I remember when you would jump on Yoshi and all the sudden the drums would come in.

That was like... NASA technology.

One easy way to make the camera pan ahead towards where the player is facing (just like cave story)-- without even using any math is to set the magicam to follow an invisible sprite which is always set to the proper X co-ordinates in relationship to the player sprite.

Looks awesome. And don't worry Funny Guy, nobody can ever get tired of space.

People can get tired of 1st levels with green grass and blue skies though-- but space? There's so much you can do with it.

Everyone else does such a good job of pointing out cool looking games, I thought I would contribute. There's this cool looking game called FEZ...

Check out this gameplay video.

What I'm really curious about is do you think something like this could be made in construct using the the 3d box?
