  • Use a "speed" variable instead of "10" and increase it depending on the level, time, etc.

  • You don't spawn the "family", you spawn the sprites from it.

    I guess you know you have to add a global variable called "wave" and increase it after each level.

    At the start of the wave, you spawn a different number of enemies of each different kind. Use the "?" operator if you want to keep your number of events low.

    You could also spawn some of them "off screen", to made them gradually appear.

    Another approach is putting the sprites in the screen, each one with a "level" instance variable on it. Make all sprites "invisible" and, at the beginning of each wave, make "visible" the sprites with sprite.level<=currentlevel, and "destroy" every other sprite. But I think it is harder to implement.

  • Hi!

    After many trial and error, I assume I don't know how to export an android app with webcam support. Sometimes I can do it with XDK in "Crosswalk mode". But most times it does not work. I tried XDK "android", "crosswalk" and "cordova" exporters. I tried CocoonJS and even exporting to a generic "Open Web App" and compiling it with eclipse and cordova. But the webcam for my app worked only once, and after adding some minor changes to the C2 file in Construct, I couldn't make it work again.

    Does anyone have a hint? What's the better android exporter to use with construct2?

  • OK, yesterday misteriously Chrome for android started displaying webcam images with the exact same app that had refused to display it the day before. So I guess this thread could be closed.

  • Hi!

    I'm trying to test some app that uses a webcam. When i generate a website html5 app, it works either on mobile or desktop, but when i use the preview over lan i can't see the webcam.

    The problem is neither chrome for android nor android's default browser ask for permissions when camera is requested from an ip address -they ask for permissions when camera is requested from a full qualified domain uri.

    Dolphin asks for permissions-- but then it exits with error message.

    I can't test the camera when using the xdk, also -though xdk compiled app works.

    Does anyone know how to request for permissions, or i need to build a dns server to convert my address to a fqdn uri?

  • Thanks, That's the kind of problems I talk about. I can't do testing now because my Windows 7 machine is under repair (the rest of my machines range from XP, now unsupported, to plain old DOS). I hope I could continue investigating this on the last week of june.

  • Hi!

    I'm been around for many time and even published a tutorial, but never introduced myself. So, after reading the "forum upgrade" newsletter, I decided to be a polite man and introduce myself.

    I'm a Spanish teacher of literature, but computers were, and are, my secret vice for years. I'd like to make a educational game literature but, at this time, my only educational games are the tiny and ugly "Caballo" and a simple game about African rivers and mountains.

    I also have a small handicap: I'm color-blind and have difficulties to see the difference between green and red wavelenghts (you could consider this an advantage in case you believe the insurance company mith about red making people aggresive). That's the reason why I made a couple quick-and-dirty filters (chroma filter and plane replace filter) you can see in the filters forum.

    The third thing about me: I try to balance my computer "vice" by avoiding latest technology. So, though I program for Android, I dont have an Android phone. But soon I will be forced to improve my gadgets, since my old-fashioned no-camera, no-apps, not-even-java phone has died this week.

    Well, If you reached this point, you'll also know I am not very skilled in English, but I can write thousands of words no matter how simple the message is.

    Have a nice day!

  • OK. Thanks.

  • Hi!

    I have all my incoming PMs, but i've lost sent PMs.

    Is on your to-do list to import sent PMs also?

  • Hey I like the new forums and the new forum engine. Good work, guys!

  • Please tell me if it works or it is buggy. I didn't find any bugs after imothep85's comment. It worked for me, but maybe I have something in my computer preventing me see the bug.
