  • That's a cool game Sheep. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Ya, trying to recreate a games mechanics when theirs no tutorial can be a bit of a challenge. I remember a couple months ago when I was trying to make a pong game. The only tutorial I found was for CC, and that was 2 player so it really didn't help. But after weeks of trying and searching these forums I found all the answers I was searching for hidden here and there, and sometimes in threads that had nothing to do with the game. lol

    I think your really close to finishing your game but some stuff in your game I really don't understand how it all works. I will take another look at it this weekend. Maybe if you just added a few layers and moved some stuff around it would be a little more easier to finish.

  • Sheep have you tried Ashley's Beginner's guide to Construct 2 yet?

    I cant begin to describe how beneficial this tutorial is to everyone new to C2. If I wouldn't have tried it when I was new to Construct 2 I probably would have become discouraged, and eventually gave up. I can tell your an artist so the whole programming concept is probably seeming a little overwhelming to you right now. That's the beauty of C2 it's all visual event based programming it really doesn't get any easier. If you haven't tried that tutorial you should really give it a try. You don't even have to use his sprites you could make your own art work to use instead. And from what Iv seen it is very good. Then you could just follow the tutorial change a few things as needed, and make it your own original game. Then with all your new skills finish your space invaders game. You don't have to listen to me though it's just an idea.

  • For some reason that I haven't figured out yet if you preview your game from different parts of your game it does different things. Just try previewing it from the Title tab once that seems to work for me.

  • Sheep did you start your game from your Title tab in C2? Because the aliens shoot for me after they re-spawn.

    I honestly don't know if I can get the score to stay the same after you clear a level, or make the aliens move faster each level, or add another row each level. Your style of game building is so different than mine. Honestly I don't understand how your game works. It took me hours of trial, and error just to get this far with it. I really don't think I could do all of that without completely rebuilding it from scratch. I would have used more than one layer.

    But if no one else is willing to help you I will have another look at your game latter this weekend when I have more time.

  • Hello Sheep

    I fixed your .capx. The reason it was doing that was because you had your alien, player, base, and enemy bullet set to destroy instead of invisible. I also had to set them to visible on start of layout so they would show when the game is restarted. I had to do a few more things to your game to get it to all work correctly but it took me so long to fix I forgot what I all did. Just compare your .capx form Kyatric to mine to see what I all changed.

    O'ya If you loos the game it will display all that stuff I fixed but if you kill all the enemies it will just automatically reset your score, and start from the beginning again. I didn't know if that is what you wanted or not so I left that part up to you. You could make it so that it keeps your last score, and gets harder every time you kill all the enemies, or you could just have it display the game over stuff after the first time.

    Anyway here is your .capx:

  • That sounds so disappointing Cpryd001.

    I guess I don't understand why they couldn't just play there games from there personal dropbox public folder's? All they would have had to do is open there exported html5 game file inside of there personal dropbox public folder's and double click on there index.html pages, and there games should have opened. Or just make a link to that file, and past it in the browsers address window.

    The server bug you will have to talk to Ashley about.

    I usually export my html5 games to my desktop first then I upload it to dropbox. Your right exporting it to dropbox directly from C2 might be why it crashed. Uploading to dropbox is just to slow for C2's exporter I think.

    There artwork looks real good. I especially like the angry birds ones but maybe that's just because I like that game.

    I'm not getting any sprite loading bug's. So if you need some help fixing there games just let me know what you need done, and I would be happy to help out.

  • Have you seen this one yet?

  • I tried to look up the apple app store rules but unfortunately you have to pay apple $99 to view them:

    App Store Review Guidelines

    This just goes along with apples business model. "If you cant afford us you don't matter, go away and die, we don't want anything to do with you!"

    No wonder apple has been taking a big hit in the stock market lately. They don't have Steve Jobs selling there bullsh*t anymore, or maybe it's because apple violates child labor laws:

  • Night you got a 1st badge so you must have bought a license so yes that license is good for life with C2.

    Just update your C2 and click on the about icon in the top right corner of c2 and it will show what kind of license you have.

  • You still have enough time, you still have 9 days. The closing date is February 29th, 2012 at 12 noon GMT+0. There last competition they only gave us 2 weeks to start, and finish.

  • There is a broken download link on the home page in the footer below Make Games where it says "Download Construct 2".

    The link says: scirra.com/construct2/releases/r794

    when it should say: scirra.com/construct2/releases/r79.4

    I just thought this was important to bring to your attention since new people might not be able to download.
