  • Try setting it to full screen Scale, and unbound scrolling to Yes. Then if your game still doesn't fill the entire screen try making your background larger than your games Layout size. You can also make other layers sprites extend beyond your games Layout size if needed. Sometimes it just takes some trial and error, and a lot of testing to get a game to fit full screen in all resolutions.

  • If I were you I would first try to build a working server on your own PC. Then when you got something working, and are ready to move onto alpha testing start small and rent a VPS (virtual private server). If you shop around you can usually find one for under $40 per month. Then as your game gets big, you can upgrade as needed.

    If node.js isn't working out you could always try to build a PHP, and MySQL server. These have been around for many years now, and Ashley has made Construct 2 very capable of using php, and MySQL as a back-end.

  • Where can I find this Heroku?

  • Happy holidays everyone!   <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Wow, I got a tree just like that in my back yard. All waited down with heavy ice, and snow. You must live in the U.S. were that major snow storm went through yesterday. I live in Wisconsin, and I woke up to 22 inches of new snow on the ground this morning but no downed trees.

    Anyway, I'm glad to see you survived the Apocalypse <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Here is a quick example I just made for someone else:

    Sprite Buttons Example

    This example shows how I give my sprite buttons a mouse over hover effect.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • I usually make sprite buttons instead of using the button object. This way you can just type the text right on your button with your choice of image editors so that it's always centered. Also by using sprites as buttons will increase your games performance on mobile devices.

    Here is an example .capx of how I use sprites as buttons:

    Sprite Buttons Example

    I make my buttons with Photoshop but if you don't have photoshop you can use Gimp. Gimp is free, and there are plenty of tutorials out there on how to make buttons with Gimp.

  • villmaxie just put your license in Construct 2's install directory or My Documents, and restart Construct 2, and it should launch as the licensed version. Nothing has changed with how Construct 2 updates on Windows 8 from previous versions of Windows.

  • Cool stickers! When are you getting hoodies, t-shirts, and stuffed pink pigs? <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Seriously I would buy that stuff

  • Nice job dinofun! I use to have the old Carnival game but I think yours is much better than the original. I like how you incorporated the spelling bonus into your game, and I like your art style.

    I also had a little time to check out your website http://www.dinofun.com/. Wow did you make all those games in a year? That must be at least 2 games a month. I didn't have time to play them all but I did play Dinosaur Tar Pit <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle"> another fun game. I will go back, and play some more of your games when I have a little more time.

    Keep up the good work <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">
