Hey everyone,

Was looking for a bit of advice regarding Tizen builds!

I've added the changes Ashley suggested (e.g. Browsers 'On back button' & 'Lock orientation') to our apps. But seeing some of your comments, has made me doubt whether these actually work!

We're using Win 8 machine, and haven't had any luck installing the Tizen SDK yet, so we've been unable to test!

We know they run pretty well on other platforms, so performance is not too much of an issue! But its important for us to make sure the additions we've made will work, and the apps look right, before submitting to appBackr!

Can anyone confirm these additions work, Tobye, thehen, szymek, sosensible?

Thanks for the help :)

szymek,

I strongly believe that C2 has the power to produce the types of games you are talking about!

However, to achieve this, it needs the right support from others, like Ludei (which is currently lacking)! I just hope that support is improved soon!

I really enjoy developing in C2, and would like to stick with it if possible! I just hope things improve soon, or we may be forced to look for alternatives.

However, as Joannesalfa mentioned, that's a little off topic for this thread!

:)

We really sympathise with everyone's frustrations!

Over the last few months, we've been waiting and hoping that CocoonJS would improve, but still no sign of this yet!

Version 1.4 was supposed to be the turning point, but everything just seemed to get worse after this update!

As the only viable option for mobile exports (at the moment), we are left waiting around for Ludei updates and fixes! But (despite a much larger staff base than C2, and recent funding deal for 1.5 million) these are often very slow in coming!

We love making games, and don't wish to sound mercenary! But (like everyone else) we have bills to pay, and we need to make a regular income! However, due to the problems mentioned above, we feel like we're trapped in a vicious circle and can't move forward!

We're really hoping the situation changes for the better soon!

Fantastic news thehen, the #1 spot, congratulations!

jhonnel09,

You need to create a global variable, to determine whether you music is in its on/off state (i.e. on=0, off=1).

You can save your variable using WebStorage.

When your project starts, check to see if the variable is 0 or 1, and use this to determine whether the music should be on or off!

Hope that helps.

Hi wizaerd,

Afaik, installing a beta will overwrite the version you already have. So unless you have a partition, or you can install on a second machine, it will probably overwrite your stable version.

Having said that, you could install the beta, and make a copy of your project before opening it. That way you've always got the original to revert to if there are any problems. And if you don't like the new beta, you can just roll back to an older, more stable version.

Hope that helped.

—, this should help you :)

Fantastic work christina, very cool effect! ;)

Hi chef,

I've made a simple example of what I was suggesting. You were on the right track, just needed a few minor changes :)

The red button switches between layouts, and the blue button stops the music. You'll notice that when you switch between layouts, the music continues to play without stopping then restarting (because of our variable check)! However turning off the music, sets the variable back to 0, so when you switch to another layout, the music will restart again!

MusicOnOffExample

Music was supplied by tulamide :) You can find more free music by tulamide here.

Hope that makes things a little clearer :)

Hi MrGator,

You could do this by using a global variable, and setting it to the speed of the object you wish to match. When you spawn the new object use your global to set the new bullet speed.

Hope that helps :)

chef,

You can use a global variable (musicOn) for this. Just set an event on start of layout to check this variable. If it's 0, then start the music (and set musicOn to 1).

Copy the event to every layout (or put it on a global event sheet), and once you've started the music it will just keep playing. Each time you go between layouts or restart a layout, it will check to see if music is already playing, and take appropriate action.

Edit: Don't forget to reset musicOn to 0 when you finally turn the music off though!

Hope that helps :)
