In the new update did they add a way to lock screen orientation?

I was using Chrome for Android on a Nextbook 8. but it was horrible. So I'm now using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, it seems to run fine, but when I touch the screen is does a "double click" where it seems to count my Touch twice.

Do you know of any setting that helps with that, or maybe a was to combat in C2?

Thanks

Ashley

Yep, I am seeing that. Here is a dropbox of my game in it's current state (with physics)

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68726261/Swimmy%20Shark/index.html

My only physics are:

On Touch >>> Set phyiscs velocity to (0,0)

             Apply impulse 20 at angle 270 at image pt 0

Touch >> is NOT in touch >>> Set physics world graviy to 25

That's all the physics I have, and no effects. I'm not sure how to handle the shark's movement w/o physics, but i'll get to work on that next. Everything else is just Bullet behavior, the "background wrapping" from the auto runner template.

Thanks for the keeping in touch. I'll be back with more info soon, hopefully a solution.

Thanks again!

So far this morning what I've been able to deduce is that "Effects" -- Water Background and/or Physics causes Massive lag. So far, I'm led to believe the biggest lag comes from the Effect. I have one physics object in my game, and it is just "sluggish" now. I'm going to try to come up with a custom movement to simulate what I was doing with physics and report back here later.

As far as "Chrome for Android" I take it to mean just dropbox the game an try to run it from the app?

Thanks again.

Thanks, but neither one of those have anything to do with actually making sure that your game works with Xwalk. The blog is full of misinformation, Xwalk does not do what it is claimed to do, and the other just explains how to export/build a game inside Xwalk. We, the community, need information for someone who has actually been successful in producing a game they WANTED to produce w/i C2/Xwalk. There is a youtube video out on the internet that show some game "Rockfist"... i think, and it is running smooth as butter.

That person needs to let us know how he/she did it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, I really do appreciate it. But Ashley and IntelRobert really need to give us some depth here.

Most of the posts I read are about slow down (lag) or the white/black screen.

The whie/black screen most likely is due to not creating a project folder first w/i Xwalk, or at least that's why I would get it.

The "lag".... I am at a total loss. I actually cut a games size in half, Minmized graphics, cut some stuff out. And it ran at the same lagged out speed as the big version.

The only game i've gotten to work, kinda, is a simple tap to move game. No Physics, No webgl....

I'll get back to it and report what, if anything, I find. Thanks again Thirsty, for taking the time to address me.

Good luck out there!

Where are the tutorials or organized forum posts about how to get this monstrosity to actually work correctly?

I used to export my games to HTML and put them into dropbox so I could see how they will look on different devices, now I cannot do that?? I get a message that the "Exported file will not work until uploaded" So now I have to create my own webpage just to do what I did before?

I'm very confused, any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

It worked just like you said! Thanks for your help.

That's a good idea, except it's just one object that I cloned to make 3. Less object, less resources used (my theory). But i'll try it out either way.

Thanks!

Probably a noob question, but I'll ask anyway.

How do i check a variable between multiple objects, looking for the highest value?

eg.........

     3 Boxes (sprite)

        "Capacity" (Instance Variable)

   I want to compare "Capacity" for each box, and get the Highest value.

I was using "For Each" but it just keeps giving me the value of the First Box, ignoring subsequent boxes.

Thanks in advance!

Warhorse, No sir I did not.

TELLES0808 I know this post is old, but if you're still looking If you have the "XDK" object in your project list you can simply create an

"On Start of Layout" --> "Set orientation to Landscape/Portrait"

Using the XDK object.
