  • Don't worry, it happens to all of us, especially when you're just starting out. :)

  • Ni-ice!

    Good work, you two - now go kick Game Maker's butt!

    (Also, EXE exporter, but that's neither here nor there. Just forget I said anything, alright?)

  • Daniel Remar's Iji.

    One of the best games I've ever played. End of story.

    Granted, no one really knows about it, but who cares?

  • Um... isn't Construct all about using plugins... oh, I get it, you mean external plugins. Never mind.

  • But I don't want my brain to blow up! :|

    Still. This is a pretty nice postcard ya got there, pardner. Sure beats the heck outta those cheesy Hallmarks.

  • Well, I don't think Construct has a native object deactivation feature (in which objects aren't rendered or their commands processed in certain conditions), but it is possible to make it so that a certain set of events aren't processed until the player is close enough to the object. It's just a bit tedious.

  • KA-BAM SON. OVER 9,000 POINTS.

    That is a pretty epic-looking game right there. I'm gonna try it out right now.

  • Twenty-five slaves. Twenty-five slaves to make the clothes I'm wearing, twenty-five slaves to make the metals I'm using to type this, twenty-five innocent human beings to serve a man who sits at a computer all day and postulates as to the meaning of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    ... The world's a seriously screwed up place. I just wish I knew what to do about it...

  • Um... no idea if anyone asked for this before I did, but can you put up a qarp tutorial for us math newbies as well? I never really understood what that was all about, myself.

    Other good tutorials for game math would be modulus and... lessee... well, I dunno. The Sine behavior would be great, I think.

  • Nuttin' for me but "There is nothing to preview", big bold font, Times New Roman. You guys have any ideas about why this keeps happening? Does it have anything to do with the "NoFollow is applied to all links within this forum" thing?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Well, looks like boring, complicated, and very time-consumin's gonna have to be the way to go...

    Maybe you should try reading ironic Dilbert comics to pass the time?

    (Forgive me for not really adding much content to the discussion. I'm having problems with my graphics card as well, so it's kind of ingratiating for me, too.)

  • Alright. I've got this one!

    So if we add 180 to 300, we get 480. Now, if we modulus* 480 by 360, we get 120 (Construct does modulus automatically for angles). Easy peasy flaming lemons.

    In general, the solution is simply to add 180 to the angle you're trying to make opposite.

    *The remainder of division between two numbers.
