Could be a nice idea also regarding graphic implementation in C2 and solo devs talking about how they planned graphics in their games, however most graphic artists are worried about their work being stolen so an "art" subforum would not be used that much for art itself, that and also most people prefer to go in communities made for that specific topic.

There is no way to delete a save, the way you could do it is just deleting a reference to a save, like checking a webstorage value that would be related to that save.

Ashley the request is still really valid, could a simple "delete existing save (by name)" exist?

I know that we rely upon 3rd party wrappers or browser for - everything html5.... But I am pretty sure that if we contracted out our export to desktop option and it broke over night then the message would not be to wait until things improve (indeterminate time frame, could be 2-6 months) - a rapid reversion to what worked before would be implemented whilst the problem was addressed. I could not imagine this happening with Unity, for example. This should be no different IMO; I don't understand how a high standard of product can be confused with using a wrapper's latest update.

Agreed that C2 and node webkit should be completely separated (in fact, this is what they were trying to do, but the jank caught them off guard, still, they could have done it better I think, like giving the older ones and getting it to still work). But for some what da hell reason, node webkit is a part of C2 license (even though I would be confident that only the easiness of export is, as node webkit cannot be a selling point, not sure about the term of use of node webkit, that and why would it be a selling point anyway when we think about it, it is a freaking html5 engine, wrappers were always an operation to do separetely, if we have to build mobile apps via the XDK, why not for node webkit, never understood that).

It is just that little hacks like this are working, but the fact people have trouble with the duality of C2 and node webkit is not a very good sign, thus I wanted to share somethings that sort of shows how that works behind the scenes, not that "in topic" now that I think about it (even though it shows that you just bundle files and parameters within node webkit to define what happens, which assure there is no reason for it to fail).

Well, related to node webkit if anyone is interested about how building works, this old tutorial of before the support was built in (the good ol' awesomium times), if it still works (it should), that may be another alternative, you just export your html, you wrap it up with the older version of node webkit you should be able to find on the internet, that may be less troublesome than making C2 believe you are using the latest one (and also could be applicable outside C2), unless C2 only activates the node webkit api depending on the chosen exporter maybe.

I think you have to put somewhere into your event sheet, on up pressed, on down pressed, etc...

"Browser shortcut keys

In some browsers, some keys are shortcuts for browser actions. For example, space bar sometimes is a shortcut to scroll down the page. If any events exist for 'On key pressed' with a given key, Construct 2 blocks the browser from performing its normal action. For example, if you wish to prevent space bar scrolling down the page, add an empty 'On Space pressed' event, if you don't have one already."

Well, I am against the 2 codebase thing for C2, doing an app separately would be stupid (incompatibilities and bugs would be kind of multiplied), however I can imagine the idea of the html5 version, where you can either pin the different windows (like the property window or project window, or the layers window, like the way it currently works), or make them as side tabs, they would open when you drag them onto the center (thus, they would not be covering up the screen, and you can access them), some might say "not that convenient", stillnmore that not having a mobile version.

For the event sheet, I do not see a real problem on mobile, but even then, some people have tablets too so I see no reason of censuring one platform.

However it is just my opinion.

So in short, I am for the development of a html5 based version, to be fair I tried the webapp of gdevelop, and it felt good, not perfect, but good, and I am sure it is also doable for C2 (or whatever the name would be)

App size of 5+ MB, may I ask if it is inferior to 20MB? If so, that could mean you did not used crosswalk, which implies bad performances on android versions up to 5, due to the poor webview of those.

Can you try the web version you posted in either chrome or firefox for android?

hundredfold I would guess from his event sheet (if it is the only one), that there is no optimisation to do on his code, as the majority of the performances problem would be elsewhere (if you have performances issues with so little things happenning, unless you are using physics, you can bet the interpretor is most likely unable to do the job, and there does not seems to be an obvious performance swallowing event, then the apk size tells me that crosswalk was not the one being used).

You could try to see if you have any wasteful assets (exemple: a 256x256 plain black square, images that are not cropped when they could), that may helps a bunch.

Also keep in mind that the assets are load and unload at each layout beginning (well, a little more complex than that but the big picture is here).

TiAm frustrating indeed, some people do not get that coexistence of styles exists (for exemple, 3D modeled graphics in game exists, but 2D is still here for a long time, same for animation), and would prefer one thing only to exist for simplicity sake I would guess, quality is never defined by the style itself (or tool in the large picture, as long as they are working) you have chosen, but by the use you make of it (with respects of specifications for the non artistic domains).

I saw triplets of belleville when I was younger, I remember not really understanding what happened but the animation was good.

However, for the thief and the cobbler it seems that there are multiple versions and I did not heard only good things about all of them, qo I do not know which one I should watch (and how to, as I would guess aquiring some of those version would be kinda hard.)

Also, I should rewatch snow white, as I think it was the first "long metrage" movie with color and voices (I remember the old tape, there was a making off I think after the movie, was too young to really bother at the tile I saw it)

Thanks for the recommendation Aphrodite - I think there's also a performance issue here. For example, clocking something every second (or ten times per second for slightly more accuracy) is using a lot more resource than doing it just once per layout.

Performances would not be that much hurt I would think, but well, if we can prevent doing a redondant thing by using something the engine actually handle itself, why not do it.(I am more thinking of tool usage rather than performances, as using the tools we are given wisely is actually, from my experience, giving good performances).

You also have the advantage of putting the calcul in a function if you want to, that would return the spent time in second relative to the initial time for exemple, which may make the code clearer to an extend.

I guess it would be interesting for some games (not all of course), and I think for a time, some people actually tried that with old games, I do not have a clear opinion, but I would say a 2D virtual space to represent a 3 dimensionnal reality, while possible (some 3D games actually use only a 2D plane of logic, while a 2D game can use a 3D space of logic), is maybe not as easy and could cost more time to get the lights and effects working not only in a "good looking" manner, but a realistic one.
