Why do you suggest that? I tried to explain why I prefer using 3 150Kb jpegs (in some cases, i.e. backgrounds) over 1 600Kb Png.

:) I've been in this business since the invention of Jpg...

I know what's the difference between these two formats and I think it would be wise to leave the control at the designer hands.

If one uses jpg and png than he might know what he's doing.

I prefer having 3 different background 150K each than having one 600K png image.

All I'm asking is for some control over the final file sizes.

As mentioned I do use PNG when I want to enjoy the benefits of a PNG file format but I also recognize the file size advantages of a good old Jpeg.

I noticed that all my files in the images directory are converted into PNG.

When creating a project I use PNG when delicate transparency is needed and Jpeg when big backgrounds are used.

I use each exploiting the specific format's advantages.

Is there a way C2 will export images based on the original source file?

This will save tons of space in the images directory and speedup upload times.

A 600K png file can be easily turned into a 150K-200K file. 5 such files will generate a 1MB space saved.

Construct 3 will be called Construct3D. It will be based on CryEngine and Havok.

And yes, I used my time machine for that information.

Any one?

Following my (long) list of initial changes/ideas I had when I first encountered C2, here's my GUI offer (+other changes/requests).

I find myself wandering in many windows why a certain look was picked over other more "logical" choices.

I mentioned some of these in my previous thread

Here's how the "Insert new Object" window looks like on my machine:

<img src="http://www.logofusion.com/C2/New-Object-Window.jpg" border="0">

It's 95% white/empty + there's a scroll bar.

And here's my suggestion of how it should look like:

<img src="http://logofusion.com/C2/New-Object-Window-2.jpg" border="0">

The same number of categories + same amount of icons. To those who might say "Well, what about room for more categories/items" I can defend my version with - Well, both can be added. If there're more items the same solution in the form of a scroll-bar can be introduced. Nothing is change from current solution - If there're more items than a single window shows a scroll bar will allow the, well, scrolling.

I think my suggestion looks more professional and more importantly it's more user friendly.

Beside the GUI issue/s here're more ideas/requests/changes/observations I scribbled during working with C2 (Which I love):

• I often noticed that texts will change position during run time. If I carefully align a text on a background and test the project in a browser the text will move few pixel to the right and bottom
• There's no way to change text properties during run time. It would be cool to be able to change size and color via regular object properties from within the event sheet
• a command in the form of "Preload all used sounds" will save tons of time wasted when I change one sound, remove another, swap sounds, etc.
• When inserting new sprites I often see a strange dimension to the sprite when I get back to the layout editor. It's important to have the sprite in the original graphics (same dimensions, same ratio)
• Exe creation (can be used by encapsulating google chrome slim browser). I'm sure this came up before. I understand this feature demands tons of time
• Remarks color/size will be a great addition. Remarks on red background will be colored by me for all negative operations, for example.

That's it for now. I'm sure you understand I write these long messages cause I love the product and not vica-versa (The product hates me :)

Thanks! :)

If you liked Ver. 1.0 I'm sure you'll love Ver. 1.35:

Egg Constructor

Some major improvements to the mechanics. There's a camera which follows off-screen objects, scrolling and even a goal - put as many eggs in the basket without breaking them.

I'm sure it's an easy fix. One can check the mouse position and simply grant the focus to the window currently under the mouse.

I'm sure it will be fixed but I'm also sure this minute fix was added to a very long small changes list.

Since you've mentioned the frames window I'll mention another cool thing I think should be introduced: a save/load of objects.

Imagine after creating a cool sprite with all the frames and points you simply save it to your directory for use in other projects or even to share with friends. This will allow a creation of ready-to-use objects.

Thanks! :)

Yes, the idea is to show how hard these kind of machines are to operate

+ Have fun in the process. I'm just not sure if I'm doing the right things to create this machine. Still in the learning stage.

Thans cesisco, I'll give it a try.

:) Software, no matter what brand and field, have defaults. These defaults can be removed by saying "these small changes take 2 seconds" but they keep releasing software with default settings.

It makes life easier and that's what software are for.

When I use Word and start a new document the program "knows" which page layout I prefer, is it landscape or otherwise, if I prefer the default font to be 10p or 14p, etc, etc.

The same goes with Photoshop, it knows I prefer a X by Y pixels empty document.

I know it's only 2-10 seconds for each new project but it's not the point. The point is to enhance C2.

Btw, when you restart an OS it does remember your resolution. Just image you had to change it each time you start your computer session.

Btw, I found this sentence in the "index.html" file:

This file will have been minified and obfuscated if you enabled

For some reason it burns my ears. Is this future past progressive?

Again, the blame could be in my non-English brain.

You missed both my points :)

IE is the default browser but I preview C2 games with Chrome. IE doesn't work for HTML5 on my machine.

I want to be able to set the default as Chrome for C2.

The second point is to be able to set the default resolution to other than 640,480.

Each time I create a new project I go and change the browser from default to Chrome and than go to the resolution and change these to 800,600.

I suggested a "configure" option from within C2 which will remember the settings I use for the creation of new project.

Imagine each time you start using your browser you had to manually set your favorites...
