This version was done with PhoneGap but I want to add sounds so think I'm going to try get AppMobi up and running soon enough.

Thanks for reporting back though. Much appreciated.

Also, if anyone has played it can you let me know what you thought please. Surely balsh isn't the only one to have played it.

Thanks again

Oh, of course lol... Bare with me 2 minutes.

Ok so after all my questions on the forum I finally have something playable. With auto-save function for the levels you unlock as you play, allowing you to resume from where you left off.

Would be interested to see what everyone thinks. Report any bugs etc. Would be much appreciated!

So here it is... Ball Boy.

Aim of the game is to reunite the boy with his ball. Tap the screen to send the ball on it's way.

The level design needs improving on some levels and I will be adding more levels in the future. So if you have a minute, take a look please.

Sorry to bump this after quite a while but I got distracted. But I have since tried to implement this and can't seem to get it working.

Can anyone with a spare couple of minutes just throw down the events into a simple capx for me please? It would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I did notice this, but I couldn't find anywhere that explained about how I would proceed to the next layout relative to the current one.

So what would I need to type into here to proceed to the next layout? Keeping in mind the fact that I would use this same event sheet for all layouts.

And also, upon the ball hitting the spikes, how would I restart current layout?

Hi there. So far this forum has been really helpful in solving any problems I've had, so lets have another go...

For the type of game I am creating I can basically use the same event sheet throughout for all of my layouts if it wasn't for one problem.

Upon the ball reaching the target I would like the option to go to next layout. However, I have to select a specific layout by name. This means that for each level, the layout that proceeds is different so I have had to create a new event sheet for each layout with a complete copy of events apart from this one event directing the player to the next level or layout.

I know another option would be to create multiple versions of my target/goal, and create several events in one sheet so depending on which level the player is on, the target in question will lead to the appropriate layout that follows but this is a bit tedious.

I think it would be much more convenient if the order that the slides appeared in the project browser were the order they were read by the game, so a simple 'Go to next layout' or 'Restart current layout' would be a great help.

I hope I've explained that clearly enough and apologises in advance if there is an easier way that is staring me in the face that I have missed.

Thanks

Apologies if there is a thread on this already, but are there any plans to incorporate basic image editing functions into the sprite animation window?

For example, when I am creating a game, it's good for me to throw down the bare bones of objects with basically no artwork, just one colour images, and then I get the events done and game functioning how I want. I then enjoy creating the nice looking sprites for my game afterwards.

Is it possible that you will be adding the basic functions such as 'colour fill', crop and resize?

It's not an urgent request, I can easily draw crappy, basic pictures in MS Paint and load them but it would be nice if it could all be done from within construct.

I hope the above makes sense. I just basically want the ability to quickly create an image for a sprite as a temporary place-hold until I finish the game functionality and create all the proper artwork.

Thanks!!

I've come to realise that I would be waiting a while for a tutorial so spent the last day or so trying to work this out. So far, extremely unsuccessful! lol

Has anybody had any luck at all?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds good to me. Really keen to get this working but I'm more of a follow a tutorial game maker at the minute, I'm kind of new to it all so I'll wait until someone is kind enough to confirm they have it working before I spend hours getting no where lol. Thanks.

Now we can build android apps using PhoneGap I just thought I would bump this to see if anyone had a solution?

At the time there was no 'How Do I...' sub-section of the forum so this may now need moving? But thanks in advance for your help anyway.

That's strange, so it can't be something missing from the dropbox server thats just saved in my cache on Chrome if it's worked for you too?!

Because I literally can't find any missing objects or events linked to objects that no longer exist etc. It's really strange.

But thanks for your feedback, it's early stages still, needs cleaning up and levels adding etc <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

*Edit* Also I download Firefox 8 and did encounter the problem, but I must say, even before that point the general performance of Firefox is TERRIBLE compared to Chrome. A much smoother gaming experience with Chrome.

I've now updated the export and file link to a non-minified version.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
