Ten years ago (time flies by), I wrote a topic about calculating the JumpStrength and Gravity by deciding on height and jump elevation duration (it was construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/general-discussion-17/choosing-jumping-parameters-95703 )

Long story short, every time I mention this type of scary math to people that aren't very comfortable with it, people usually don't look too much into it because it isn't an easy matter.

So recently (because someone needed help for their jumps), I made a tool with Construct 3 that will calculate just that and test the result as well, you can either set a height and jump elevation duration, or a height and gravity, and the tool will display the following :

Height (in pixels)

JumpDuration (in seconds)

JumpStrength (in pixels per seconds)

Gravity (in pixels per seconds squared)

So you can for example decide on a height and jump duration, and use the resulting gravity and jumpstrength in your platform behavior to have that exact jump in your project; Alternatively, you can decide on a height and gravity, and have the jumpstrength to use.

link to the tool is :

fishou.itch.io/jump-parameters-for-construct-3

it's pretty barebones, you click (or touch) to choose what values to set, then you edit textboxes and then click on an empty space to see the resulting jump.

Bl4ckSh33p I have!

I put it on the construct discord just in case dropbox does it again, but I'll provide both links:

Hope it'll work well for you.

IIRC the black circular sprite needs to be in destination out blend mode for it to magically work.

pick Nth imstance will pick the nth instance (1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th etc...) not multiple instances AFAIK

When no sprites are picked at all, an else will trigger (it's actually the only time you want to use else with a picking condition).

As for you first issue, try adding a condition system: pick Nth instance or pick random instance depending on your need after your conditions.

to prevent it from going outside boundaries I just use solid objects generally

EDIT: I misunderstood the issue, but I still think you might just want to set the vector X to 0 at the collision moment so it stops right there then starts going the other direction

using the browser object, you can return this value with Browser.Language

"Language

Get the browser's current language setting, e.g. en-US."

No idea how accurate that is tho.

technically the player can go up of 1 pixel each pixels officially, but my guess would be that you could prefer to use actual slopes or align your boxes (using for exemple the grid of the layout view for an easier time editing) to prevent this kind of issues.

Well one quick check to see if it is rendering the issue would be to change the quaity of the rendering (fullscreen scaling) to low and test (it's a project property that is on high by default, more infos in the manual but basically it will not scale up the game assets if needed which should improve the perfs if it is indeed GPU bottlenecked)

I'm not sure it's caused by it but I'll ask anyway: why not use a tilemap for the ground? you can set it up to be different each level.

It's very weird though, as it seems simple ad so I don't see why it operates poorly, how are you testing on mobile too?

well you'd need to be an approved developer by nintendo I think, which means you'd need to fill out a developer applicaion https://developer.nintendo.com/register/create

and I think you also need to buy a devkit but I am not sure about it, as all people in the program are under non disclosure agreement so nothing filters (I am under no NDA since I am not in this program).

However do know that the HTML5 on wii U using the nintendo web framework simply does not work with webGL, and as a friendly reminder, WebGL isn't just for effects, it ensures the game runs fast, so I would not even bother, all the things I heard is that it is clunky, and not great perfs wise due to that.

More infos should be discussed on the developers forums of nintendo I guess, but that requires a developper account.

The setting applies for all instances indeed, I think a way is to use the paster plugin rather than a sprite (that or having enough animation frames maybe)

I simply like to do mechanics, I did complete some games in the past with other things than C2 (I'm thinking of Squiddy which is a simple rotation based game for exemple on pico-8 that was based off a C2 prototype), I might port one of them one day. But real life always catches up so I don't have as much time as before.

I also have some random mechanics simply waiting to be used (like a shmup flappy bird, an actual shmup and so on...)

I always loved making games actually, I should maybe do templates and give them actually, as that would mean working on the mechanics while helping others.

The thing is I'm the kind of user who is using the engine for fun and doesn't actually make games with it (not finished one that is in most cases), I still did some things not for myself with another user (KFII I think is his username here):

this thing : http://www.thepoke.co.uk/Channel4_2014/ I used C2 with someone to convert to html5 the flash version of this: http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2010/11/25/pla ... generator/ for some reason, I cannot find back the page where they are using the html5 version tho

EDIT: found it http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2014/02/25/lea ... generator/

and other things like that, I also did a minigame with an extinguisher called extincteurs on facebook, which does not work anymore thanks to dropbox but if needed I still could find a way to reupload it I guess, even tho facebook will not work with it

EDIT: done: http://extincteur-fish.bitballoon.com (it's in french and facebook does not work at all as I said).

And I had an abandonned project which is totally not approuved by sega : http://alex-kidd-2-abandon-ver-61.bitballoon.com (arrow keys to move, X and C to puch and jump) with graphics made by Watain or shamelessly ripped off the original (as it was a work in progress not everything was done at the time, I know it isn't legal to do fangames so do not lecture me please.)

and the rest is not worth talking about, or is templates or works to help people, I don't think it'd be helpful to you but if it is I can search some.
