I decided to conduct my own simple test:

The results are somewhat inconclusive...

For now I'm sticking with the complex polygon, which runs the same in a naked eye test, as the collision is more precise.

Hey gang, I'm working on a racing game, for my track collision would I better off creating a complex collision polygon or using multiple rectangular collision blocks?

Cheers

I don't really understand your question but I'll give it a shot.

Drag and drop items support multitouch and work independently of each other, you can move two objects at once.

However if your problem is that you want Object 2 to move when you're moving Object 1, then I suggest you look into pinning the objects together or using events to manipulate the objects position whilst Object 1 is in touch.

I vaguely remember a discussion about the ability to display multiple layouts at the same time - I could be making this up though, I'm tired!

Layers have always worked for me in this regard, but I'll be following this thread with interest.

is there away to have the game before it load to check that is loading somehow on the site domain approved by the game developer?

Whilst I haven't tried this, here's a quick concept that'll redirect any stolen games and beat iframes, using Scirra's domain as an example.

I can't get the redirect to work in preview mode, but you could just as easily destroy groups of objects or make a pop up appear.

Happy Constructing.

Generally speaking ads will do better for smaller games - but several users have reported issues with C2 and ads on mobile.

Maybe I should write up a blog post on minimising the download size?

That would be greatly appreciated, I develop exclusively for mobile atm and I had no idea about the audio trick.

Event filtering in general would be fantastic (being able to see all the events related to a specific object for example) but I don't think we'll be seeing that until Construct 3.

A common argument is that piracy doesn't harm a business because it doesn't drain resources like bandwidth or deplete unit numbers, and most importantly, a customer that wasn't going to buy the product anyway doesn't count as a lost sale.

This argument is wrong - piracy creates a psychology of entitlement that locks into our modern cultures obsession with instant gratification; the more you pirate, the less likely you are to actually buy future products.

Mike Stout and Tony Garcia play through the Ratchet and Clank series

https://www.youtube.com/user/uselesspodcasts/playlists

Watching them play throught R&C2 was probably the best educational thing I've seen on game design.

I want to spawn a sprite at a random place on my layout - however I don't want the sprite to be created within 25 pixels of any existing sprite; how would I go about this?

Cheers guys
