  • ... and an example in my platform tutorial + 'Health' as a bonus :)

  • Interesting, but ...

    ... Dunno if this works for games created in Construct ...t doesn't. Construct 2 users are not directly writing JavaScript. Chrome Live Editor could be used to modify the C2 runtime on the fly, but you really don't want to be doing that <img src="smileys/smiley37.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • ... Can I use C2 coupled with SQL server to create an online mmorpg-like game?

    IMO, SQL Server is not a good match for multiplayer games - in that context, its overhead would be too high, leading to a lag that impacts on responsiveness.

    A couple of better matches:

    NodeJS - have a look at my Multiplayer plugin/behavior.

    Photon Server/Cloud - specifically designed to support multiplayer gaming. Have a look at my Photon Server plugin. I'm currently working on a Photon Cloud plugin/behavior.

    Have a look at lines 50-59 of the browser runtime - you'll see that these two conditions are triggered by registered event listeners:

    window.addEventListener("online", function() {
  self.runtime.trigger(cr.plugins_.Browser.prototype.cnds.OnOnline, self);
});

    Thanks for the update.

    Could you please post the link here, for future reference? Thanks!

  • I will dedicate my first multiplayer game to you if you pull that off!

    BigMistake

    Well, that's certainly an incentive! I'm making progress, but slowly - having to fit development in between work projects :(

  • Ashley

    A superb explanation of Scirra's smart decisions! What about making it a blog post? It really deserves more visibility than it gets in this thread.

    Let more people know how much they're benefitting from the greatest hockey players in the business ;)

  • roveend3

    See my 08 Aug 2012 post in this thread.

  • I watched your Plugin tutorial and it was a nice intro. :) Construct 2 seems very easy to extend that way!

    Thanks! Yes, C2's extensibility through plugins is one of its attractive features. I haven't used a regex in any of my plugins, though - yet ;)

    Another of C2's attractive features is the way in which, as GeometriX says, it will always use the instance of an object that is picked by the condition of an event - without any more work on your part. (Don't be misled by the earlier discussion in this thread, which revolved around a rather esoteric problem.)

  • Cowdozer

    Definitely not a programming language in the same category as C, Java, Javascript, Lisp and SQL.In fact, I think you'd be hard put to find any authority describing it as a language.

    ... I'm not sure if SQL has RegEx support ...

    See, e.g., www.ibm.com/developerworks, www.regular-expressions.info, ...

  • The Javascript Photon Cloud SDK has just been released, if anyone is still interested.

    DeMayunn

    Yes, I refer to it in my previous post (two above yours). I'm in contact with the Photon developers and am starting work on turning my C2 PhotonPlayer plugin into a behavior to access the Photon Cloud.
