Haven't thought of a name yet but i figured i'd show my work in progress here.

Platformer graphics (Deluxe) by Kenney Vleugels (kenney.nl)

Just started using Construct last month and this is the second game i'm making, the other one being a project for school. It's a 2 (possibly more) player arena game where you fight on platforms and have to shoot the other player. However, instead of killing him it knocks him back. And since the bottom of the screen is lava, the goal is to knock the other player into the lava. Meanwhile the arena platforms slowly crumble away to to make it so matches don't potentially last too long.

If you want to check it out you can actually play it via my FTP server: http //79.170.44.80/jesseschoonveld(.)com/

To play it, you can control both characters with gamepads. Made a small mistake so gamepad 1 controls player 2 and gamepad 2 controls player 1. Gonna change that when i have some spare time.

Otherwise you can also control player 1 with WASD and space bar to shoot.

Gamepad controls are:

Left analog stick to move around

A button to jump

B to drop down a platform

Right shoulder trigger to shoot

Pretty new to construct 2 and i am trying to make an educational game for a school project. I want to have a textbox in game that shows a question for a certain amount of time, specifically about verbs. The player then has to select the correct verb form. Ideally the question would be a random question picked out of a database of questions.

The problem is i have no idea how to implement this in C2 and the tutorials i am finding online about databases i find do not really help me with this particular thing. Is there someone that knows how this works and could maybe explain it to me?

I am making a game with 4 different lanes where obstacles will spawn in all 4 lanes at random intervals. One thing i want to avoid is that obstacles will spawn in such a way that they are impossible to avoid as shown in the picture. Someone told me i should probably use offset Y but he wasn't sure how and i am pretty new with Construct 2. Is there someone that would be so kind as to explain this to me?

Edit: for some reason the imgur link isn't working with the img tags. But imagine having 4 lanes next to each other where 4 obstacles in a row would be impossible to pass. Also the lanes are horizontal, going from the left of the screen to the right.
