I have no problem accessing the HTML itself to change the native background color, but is there a way inside construct that does that ?

Thanks

Thank you Kyatric, Zetar is Brilliant!

A single sprite with internal animations, each holding a single frame.

All one have to do now is change/randomize the "animation" when the next one comes in.

There will be only two sprites in all.

This is BRILLIANT!

Thank you Kyatric and Zetar.

Great work gammabeam!

Be careful of the Black holeeeeee ;p

Very in depth example.

I wonder why the Facebook version have no sound :(

Zetar, I hint your advise but that will create a non changing background no ? Jetpack Joyride seems to have a series of interchangeable backgrounds that interlink randomly.

And most importantly, using your suggestion, what happen when the character reaches the end of the layout ?

How do we wrap the whole thing without the user realizing :(

Thanks Kyatric, I will check it out :)

I am unsure whether this is the right place to post or should I place this port in �General game design�, please pardon my ignorance.

I had been wondering how to create a jet pack joy ride type of game in contract 2.

I notice the background of the game are long interchangeable plates.

I would imagine the background to be �bullet� objects that gets destroyed when they are completely out of range.

The next background would appear when the current background is just about done.

The character itself stays in the same place....

I think that�s it right , even the obstacles are bullet objects.

What do you guys think ?

What a lively community!

I am very satisfied with the replies :)

It seems everyone is using it as a sort of comfort zone ;p

I love it as it is :)

I too wonder, if its purpose is assert placement, that we could just make the "margins" infinite, but yeah infinite scrollbar sucks ;p

In any case, Construct 2 is very well designed, wouldn't change it a bit :)

And I am SOOOO Glad I bought it during the Offer :)

Hello Developers :)

The layout properties contain changeable data like layout size and margins.

I see that the margins gives a kind of "free space" for us to put our assets that are not to be seen on the stage unless it's their time [when we bring them in].

I am just curious about whether I am using the margins as it was intended.

So here's my question, is the margin mainly for the developer to put their stuff away for a while ? or is there an actual "official" usage of the margins ?

Thanks ;p
