so the touch control does allow for multi touch and if i made a game with the controls as shown above it would work just fine? but not on android lol. i did test it on my android but my tablet only supports single touch and i guess for that i could add a 3rd option to make the accelleration button behave as an on/off switch for single touch instead of holding it down in multi touch.

thats great news thanks for the help and ill check out that new plugin aswell :)

does the touch control support multi touch?

i ask because lets say for example i make a simple racing which uses the arrow keys to control direction accelleration and braking of the car this would work fine in a browser with a pc and keyboard but if i want to play the game on an android or other tablet mobile device i cant because they dont have keyboard keys.

so i wanted to add an option to switch on touch based controls if needed and they would look like on some ipad games like this on screen

but can contruct 2's touch control handle both inputs at the same time? aslong as the device has multi touch obviously. will it work for someone moving the directional control and pressing the accelleration button at the same time?

hi

ive been trying to figure out how to create an object in a random location on the screen but a certain distance away from a central object.

this is what i have for random location. every 3 seconds i create an object at location: x = random(0,800) y = random(0,600)

that works great but i dont want them to appear within a certain area of the screen. this image may help to understand what i mean

<img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/1zamvp.png" border="0" />

the red square is my central object

the blue area represents the no-go zone (distance from object)

the green circles represent the random objects

i need the green circles to appear randomly anywhere on screen but not within a certain distance from the central object ie not inside the blue circle.

is there a formula for this?

thanks

Last couple of days ive been trying to get to grips with construct2 (free edition) and learn how to do various things by reading tutorials and viewing samples but I cant figure out how you make an object collectable like coins in mario or rings in sonic.

Can someone show me how to do this please?

I cant find a tutorial on how to do it.

I know windows 8 wont be released until later this year but if anyone currently has any experience making apps for the new metro interface i was wondering would games made with Construct 2 be portable into a metro app project?

i know that metro will not support flash but it does allow games made with javascript/html5 which is what Construct 2 does so im hoping it wouldnt be too hard to port over and may be just a case of simply adding the exported game files to a metro project but im not sure.

does anyone know if it is possible?
