Don't think you need a family for that necessarily. Add a condition to test if layer is visible. Can use object.layerName if layer may vary.

Also, try applying force depending on how much the device is tilted. That is probably why it feels sluggish or not realistic.

What is the question? 40-50 fps isn't bad, especially for a physics game.

First, are you using png format? Jpg would definitely cause a problem.

Other than that it is pretty straightforward. Your Sprite should be the same size as the gimp file. If you resize in GIMP make sure interpolation is set to none. You can also try changing the layout scale if needing to zoom in or out.

There is nothing tricky here so if you can't fix it you will have to provide step by step what you are doing, a capx, or screenshot.

Have you tried when the text object is clicked to determine where the touch/click point is? Then find a formula based on position to determine which word.

There are fonts where each character is the same size so should be possible.

Quick post to show some of these peeps in action

Thanks for playing the game and commenting! People showing interest in this motivates me to add more to it (instead of working on other projects).

Let me comment point by point:

I think I wasted more than 30 shurikens on the ninjastar vending machine, hoping that would be one of the easter eggs. I should have read the description in this thread in advance where it clearly states its only purpose. Or perhaps there's more to it? :hehe

Vending machine only trades 5 coins for one shuriken. You have to have 5 coins and less than 3 shurikens and then hit it with the sword. Nothing more than that. I know I didn't even attempt to explain it anyway but figured people would figure it out if they really wanted to

I will not lose against the easter bunny in retreiving the final egg but might ask for a clue if I cannot find it by the end of the week.

Sure! Just let me know or ask me questions. It's been posted for a while so I don't mind spoilers.

By the way, I tested the game on my laptop and also my cell phone and tablet. The directional pad when using the touch function was a little too rigid. By that I mean, it was quite hard to hit the correct direction unless you were spot on (especially left). This might be something I just have to get used to, but perhaps if there is a "bigger" active touchfield surrounding the arrows, it will make it easier to move around? I had to switch back to the laptop cause of it.

I noticed that too. One tip is that you can touch in the center of the pad and then drag your finger. As long as that finger remains in touch it be linked to the touchpad and can drag anywhere on screen. So I was relying on that during most of my testing but did notice when I picked up my finger it was hard to tap a direction. So been meaning to address that but never got to it.

Also, on the laptop, if I used the mouse and touched somewhere around the playing field, the touch control interface would pop up but I did not figure out how to remove it. This kind of blocked the view in the bottom left and right areas so I would have to reload the game. How do I toggle it on and off?

Cannot remember if I used Firefox or Chrome. Sorry!

Good point! I don't have a way to toggle it off right now. I should probably add a pause menu.

It is too long since I played the first Zelda, so cannot recall if the enemies got pushed onto the next screen when hit, like in your game. Is this intentional?

From Link to the Past, I know that the enemies stay on the same screen when pushed into or hit into the sides.

I've pondered this a lot. I don't remember how all the Zelda games did it. I feel like some they can go off screen but I think they disappear. I thought about adding something but would want to avoid two things:

• Bouncing back off the edge of the screen and unfairly hurting the player
• Getting stuck on the edge of the screen and making them an easy target

What is your connection to Australia?

Not sure where this is coming from? I live in the states. Did I reference Australia somewhere? I am really curious now.

Thanks again for playing and the comment. You give really good feedback. I am thinking about working on a castle/dungeon with boss to add. Just not sure when I will get time to do it...

I would also like to know this.

I had tried to look into this myself with no such luck. That worries me that you can't find games made with Construct. But I have decided to keep using it for now until I reach some limitations myself. But have a feeling that once I'm done with the more simple projects (retro equivalent of NES/SNES) I will be switching to Unity.

Of course, you do have to take a few things into consideration for not being able to find games—Constructs user size (seems smaller than others), Construct target user (seems like I see mostly people making their first game or using this for a school project posting in the forums rather than people making serious games, as in taking years to make with professional artists and musicians, etc), and outside of the forums how would you know if they used Construct? Why would they advertise it anywhere? Not that they would hide it but I don't see games proactively advertising what engine they used.

I asked in case I was missing something. There was no judgement.

Why would I think your comments were hateful? On the contrary they're appreciated . And actually this was done in about a week, looking to make more multiplayer games now.

I just had someone else get super-defensive when asking a question about their game. Glad you are more receptive. Wanted to clarify I wasn't being a hater.

Not sure why you felt the need to start talking about other games in order to answer a question about your own

Yes, ofcours.

Okay, I think I misunderstood at first.

So basically you are suggesting instead of re-creating objects to re-create the families. Have all the events target families thus less to reproduce.

Construct2 does not allow you to copy and paste events from different Capx projects. It may sound time consuming, but including the function object, and having a separate events sheet only for common functions has worked for me.

You won't be able to copy+paste the event sheet, but at least it is easier to duplicate your functions.

I think I'm on the same page with you here. It will let you copy and paste functions.
