  • Not a massive fan of word-break being to set break-all - is this intentional? I can't think of many situations where this would be a desired effect

  • You could er use very precise collision sprites pined to the corner of the car, or an inverted "Is overlapping at offset"

    construct.net/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/sprite

    You can also use imagepoints for collisions by referencing them, but I've found this to be trickier to get working.

  • I'm loving how this is all tying together - opening the blog up to UGC is an absolute masterstroke with regards to SEO (not to mention some strong use of semantics!)

    Some quick points:

    1) The forums UI seems a bit cramped, I feel like each element having a few px more margin would help everything breathe so much better:

    Before:

    imgur.com/WMaiESE

    After:

    imgur.com/v4503XO

    2) reCaptcha for every post?

    3) The image upload will reject valid valid file types unless they explicitly name the the extension, which seems odd

    Apart from that, I love this. People's avatars appearing when you quote them is awesome; the subscribe to topic button being more prominent is a super cool way of boosting stickability; and I cannot wait to see a Construct styled C3

    EDIT//

    Just realised the reCaptcha will fade out after a few successes - cool!

    My anti-social, nocturnal self would kill for a dark theme.

  • Would be interesting to see how this stacks up to nw.js for PC exports

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • It would be much easier to handle the subscription model exclusively via WordPress

  • damageVar*2+(damageVar*(percentageVar/100))

    For reference, "%" refers to the modulo operator in C2/3s expressions

  • Surely it would just be damage = damageVar*2+(damageVar*2.75)

  • I would love this

  • Set the variable type to number?

    A few points I feel should be noted:

    1) Scirra's build service is cheaper than the biggest commercial equivalent (Cocoon) - and includes the entire C3 engine.

    2) You cannot complain about the price in one breath and demand Scirra work weekends as well (which they often do regardless) - could Scirra hire a weekend / holiday staff? Of course they could, but then they'd be well within their rights to pass this cost onto the consumer.

    A simple glance at staff team forum post time stamps show they often work well over 10 hours a day on the product; and the build service offers substantial value for money when compared to competitors.

    I can sympathise with your situation, but I feel some of these criticisms are unfair.

  • iOS forces a level of consistency across form elements; you have to override this:

    input, textarea, select {

    -webkit-appearance: none;

    }

  • I've just tried to plat it - is it supposed to force horizontal orientation?

    On my iPhone SE it displayed on its side, showing a vertical viewport displayed horizontally

    Also, does Instant Games feature no search function? I had to scroll through a seemingly randomly ordered list to find it
