Hi, I?m trying to make a global button of pause for my game.

But is not working as I thought it would be.

Do you use Time scale function for this?. I tried using it and it works but it affects the button too, so it takes a while until it starts again From the pause state.

I used:

--Set time scale to 0.01

--and set time scale to 1.

If I set on pause time scale to 0, the button gets affected too and I can?t get the game enabled again.

How did you approach this?

Yes this is true, I?m using CocoonJs as a middle bridge.

And I?m testing in Motorola Defy+ (1ghz CPU and 512Mb of Ram) and Samsung Galaxy Ace (800Mhz Cpu and 278mb of RAM).

That is a LOT of power.

I don?t know how can a simple bug smasher game can work at 5, maybe 8fps.

I?m thinking on getting a Galaxy SIII to test in a new model, but it only goes up to 768mb of ram. Not much of a difference, Although the processor is suposed to be a quad-core of 1.4ghz.

If I set something like this:

-------------------------------------------

On "X sprite" collision with "Y sprite == "X sprite" destroy

                                          add 100 to score

-------------------------------------------

Is this collision check occurring on "every tick"?

Because I have a lot of this collision checks, and I was reading on "Performance tips" that this could be a slow down reason, and it recommends to check collisions every second, or every half second, instead of every tick.

I?m using the standard of 800x480. The scale letterbox will fit the project to 1280x720 and/or lower screens, this I understand.

But I?m talking about RE-sizing the project to different resolutions. Because I figure that if I run an 1280x720 project in an 800X480 cellphone, using letterbox option, the game will execute and adjust, but I assume that it will run substantially slow.

I thought we had to save different Capx adjusting project resolution and layout resolution and moving and scaling every sprite on the project.

Is there a simple, "Low effort", way to export a game to multiple screen sizes?.

Do you know if Tiled backgrounds affect performance in Android devices using CocoonJs?.

I finally made it work. Someone in Ludei forums told me that version 7 of JAVA SDK wasn�t properly working with Android. And I was making the signing with the 7u9 version.

I uninstalled it and go back to the version 6. And the final APK signed worked great on my device.

Later on a few other people wrote on the post telling that they were having the same problem and this solved it. So I post this here too to take this into account.

Thanks!

I made a major optimization in sprites and sounds but it didn?t improve anything.

I?m counting 5 to 8 FPS on screen in the Android phone. And in PC its giving me 60.

It?s a really simple game, pretty much like the space blaster on the C2 example.

...

Is it possible to share the Capx project privately with someone in scirra to give it a quick check?.

Thanks.

Great thanks!!

Yes, I already tried all of this. I even change the hole project name and builds. I generated a new key and re-sign the new apk so it will count as a hole new app. But with same results.

self-signed - wont install

cocoon-debug-signed - works.

I want to test the actual FPS of the game in my Android phone so I need to put an on-screen FPS counter.

Anyone knows how to do this?.

Thanks.

Noup. I tried making a hole new key certificate, I deleted the project from cocoonJS cloud compilation and started again with a new name.

I also changed the name and description in C2 project.

I re-exported, built everything again and Signed with the new key again as a hole new app.

The process goes through as expected. I end up with a signed and "zipaligned" Apk file.

But it wont install on the phone. It just says "the application did not install".

And the "Debug-signed" that cocoonjs provides, still works on the phone.

I?m running out of ideas. Did someone got through something like this?.

Thanks!!
