Well, I made a terrain generator in C++(I already posted this in a similiar topic). It is a very simple method. I used pseudo cursor(an integer) which is placed half way down the screen and adds a random number to it(like from 5 to 16), then it places the 'block', increases the number by 1, places another block and so on until it reaches the bottom of the screen. Then we add one to the X coordinate and repeats the same process again, and again until it reaches the far right of the screen.

I tried this in Construct 2 and the first thing I got was just a black screen, then I made it so that, instead of placing the blocks all over the screen, it repeats the actions 80 times and I get 18 FPS. So I want to know why is this so CPU-intensive.

Also, in my other game I place clouds that are bigger sprites, apply movement and collision detection and the game runs just fine(60 FPS) and it loads in 0.0001 seconds, too.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to put the example!

Here it is:

First of all here's a link to my game:

Game

If you attack the jugs most of the time more than one number will appear even if you only attack one jug. The first thing I thought was the problem is that I made a invisible hitbox for the sword that will appear twice: once when the sword is diagonal, and then again when it is horizontal(as soon as I wrote this I made it so the first hit box destroys before the second one appears and it didn't work).

Here's the project download so you can look at the events yourself:

Thanks for all the help in advance. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

EDIT: The controls for the game are WASD and K for attacking!

EDIT 2: SOLVED! I made the event check for collisions every 0.1 seconds instead of it automaticaly checking the event every tick.

bumping once again...

No, you don't. Just click the link at the top. Here's a pic:

Just like stated above, what would be the simplest way to generate sideview terrain(one like terraria). I know of this example:

scirra.com/forum/better-random-terrain-via-midpoint-displacement_topic46616.html

But when I increased the amount of blocks to 6000 the FPS was 25 and that is not good. Here's a picture of my terrain generator in C++. It can generate grass, dirt, stone and caves(more like holes).

When I tried implementing this method in Construct it didn't work...

Please note that I did not implement the whole system, but what I have implemented should've worked just like the C++ example without caves.

I got some inspiration from the old Atari 2600 games, and decided to create a little platformer. It has really responsive controls. If you download the game it is different from the video. Many things hgave been improved, fixed, and the level is a little bit bigger.

EDIT: I was using platform+ behavior, and when I deleted it I get this:

I get this error, I've tried putting the Background2.png where it says that I need to go to AppData, Local and then Temp!

It now gives the cap1H..., but it's always a different cap. The last one it gave me was cap20... but that one didn't even exist!

Help me, please....

I have exported my game, but when I run the "index" I get this:

Nothing changes...

Thank you mrPeanut for your help too
