Yea, everything has a learning curve, just keep pressing. We are here to help you over stumps.

Remember that indices (in arrays) start 0.

Yes there is a learning curve once you start building games that are not just drag and drop designs.

I try and learn new tricks everyday and have started making how to videos for construct 2.

I have really enjoyed all the advice and the tutorials that I have found.

on start of layout group 1 disabled if action is inside group it will not run.

there are tons of examples for rpg text boxes and pop ups

no need to loop just use ajax to load words to array <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile">

Wish I knew how. This game is made with layers and loops.

Until I better understand text in C2.

New Version 1.0 released

i only spell car

yes that is correct.

as it is a work in progress.

I am trying to learn how to add more words with out setting active loop or layout.

There should be another update some time today or tomorrow.

Hello everybody,

Here is my first attempt to create a Flash Card / Spelling Game / Hangman style game.

As there are no how to for this project. I am having to make it up as I go.

https://www.scirra.com/arcade/puzzle-ga ... ing-b-4713

Currently only one word and 4 letters active for v 0.0.0.1 as it was my first attempt.

and I needed to create it to get help on the forums.

I want to pull words and images from a .xml file or .txt file and also get random Flash Cards / Words.

So please bare with me as I continue to learn how to work with TEXT in Construct 2.

all comments welcome. Have fun and enjoy. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> Jeremy C.

Ok! here is what I have come up with so far.

https://www.scirra.com/arcade/puzzle-ga ... ing-b-4713

Not quite what I am looking for but it is a good start.

Thanks again for the comments. Jeremy C.

Thanks for the comment. I will have to play around with it. As the link has a link to the manual which gives descriptions of text commands and as I know not what they do or how to implement them it will be a learning curve for me to over come.

If I understand it right I will need to use tokenat(src, index, separator) to get word.

compare two variables word = answer then get random word

set text invisible

set text mid(text, index, count) 0

set global txt1 = mid(text, index, count) 0

set text invisible

set text mid(text, index, count) 1

set global txt2 = mid(text, index, count) 1

set text invisible

set text mid(text, index, count) 2

set global txt3 = mid(text, index, count) 2

on keypressed C compare global txt 1, compare global txt2, compare global txt3

if global txt = C then set Text visible

else play sorry try again.

I am sure I will have to play around with it so don't go by the code above as truth just my understanding of how it should work. from a newbies view on coding.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Jeremy C.

I believe you have to download the construct classic version. You will be able to load the old cap files and manually replicate the event by hand in construct 2

thanks will give it a try.

Hello all, I have collected some older files from the forum, but can't open them with C2 need ideas as there is some snippets of code that could help me with my projects in them.

Thanks Jeremy C.

Ok ! I know how to add words to an array and know how to get them back out.

My question is how do I pull each letter out and create a new array for each letter?

For first letter = C

set first letter text to C

For second letter = A

set second letter text to A

For third letter = R

Set third letter text to R

on Keypress if C set first text to visible

on Keypress if A set second text to visible

on Keypress if R set third text to visible

Trying to make pre-k learning games where display Image and type word.

if other keypressed play sound sorry try again.

any help is welcomed. Thanks in advanced. Jeremy C.

bump..

Anybody have a clue as how to set a variable, a global of pram from a text file that can be linked to a button when clicked = layout#?
