nemo it all depends on how far you want to take the game, I suppose. I reckon it could get a good amount of notice from indie media if it has a reasonable amount of content.

Hey,

I've been trying to import music in .ogg format into C2. It imports fine, but it seems like there's no way to play it as C2 looks for the .m4a or wav file (I forget which) to build up the list of available audio.

Is there any way around this? Or do I need to import the audio on a different format?

Yeah, I second this motion. I do the same thing as Yann and I can see it getting annoying with a lot of TiledBackground objects.

Ashley yeah, the positive flipping is still annoying, I'd much prefer it to work as you'd expect (Proportional resizing but keeping the negative width XOR height)
And yes, I do need to work on my logical operators ;)

Ashley it has to have a negative width OR height, not both. If both, it flips to a positive size, as you said (Which still isn't the optimal result)

A behavior or events is almost always better than a simple animation.

Not quite sure what you mean there. Could you describe an example?

Whiteclaws what do you mean? Layout-by-layout already exists, in fact it's the cause of the problem...

Hey there,

Lately I've been working with some layouts that have a relatively large amount of graphics. Using webGL layout loading, each layout takes about a second or so to load up. It's rather jarring to have the game freeze up completely, so I've been trying to think of a way to have some sort of loading screen. I've ran into two problems which (I think) can't be solved in the current state of C2:

1. There's no way to tell when the layout's been loaded.

2. There's no way to have a loading screen, as the runtime just goes to 0fps when loading the next layout.

Am I missing something? Or is this something C2 could use?

What you'd need to do is capture the screen somehow (Not sure if C2 can do that natively or if you'll need the Canvas plugin), go to the new layout, paste that image on, then do the zoon.
