Wow... cant believe how many characters you have there and the performance is so great.

I tried it both Moto G4 and Surface4 I5 8GB integrated gfx

the pro is fine but yea the Android Moto 4 gets a blue screen after a few minutes. (is that the crash you are talking about or is just the demo just ending???)

up until that point the game seems to be running fine, though cpu is ruining around 98% the moto has 2GB ram

asking a 1gb tab to handle that may be asking too much.

maybe it is just a matter of limiting the number of characters, to keep the ram use and CPU use down on mobile devices. Does it crash with lower character count?

I see what you are saying now about why your pin family thing works , I dunno either ... but it does apparently work....

I cant look at your demo at work but I can see the pic you posted

you are moving everything in the pin family to the postion of the player every tick (when they are on the character layer)

so it will work but not very performant.

it would be better to move them to player position once at the start of layout / or when the player is created.

and then pin them to the player. ( I assume the pin family has pin behaviour?)

Amazing sir, I dont know how you do what you do.

If I could ask for one thing.

If you could make the next directional move the latest direction key pressed even if the last direction key is still pressed.

currently the current key press dosent register unless the previous is released (i.e. if you are still pressing the previous key.

but yea, very impressive.

I dont know about resetting the whole game time and all that but...

Why dont you just use a normal timer behavior on the character

on start layout "set timer" (2 seconds or whatever) > then "on timer" (=0) = dude fly

or if you need timer variable that increases in real-time then just make a variable and add dt to it every tick. (it should be easy to change your animation events to reference this instead of game time.)

both these things will always reset when restart layout.

You do not need to use these Sprite font creators most of them are not very good.

I have discovered the best way to make Sprite font is use any good art design application. Make big grid , make individual characters that you need, snap the characters to the grid. Put all characters into group.

Then you can use the art design application to set font, gradient, glow, etc. Export as PNG .

Maybe takes a little longer but you have much more control.

There is no witdth data but this is easy to make yourself.

Even if in-work you still have to submit and get certified so it has to at least appear like a playable game of some sort.

but you can submit as beta and select closed private testing groups.

it is all here.

docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps

however as C3 outputs HTML JS you can allways host your game online for free while it is in development

you want to group the sprites and the spriter objects together and then sort them together?

ahh, ok you need some proper advice from mobile developer then,

I have not made for mobile

I assume to go full screen properly on all devices will require more than simple scale option.

(sorry edited a bit)

I assume you will need to use crop or centered

also you will need to move hud items by using anchor behaviour and maybe 9 patch for border items etc.

you may also need to manage the scale for different resolution/ dpi screens not sure about this but maybe

simple way=

If detect clash make length of laser = length of laser minus hight of box

or more complex way but will manage itself =

make raycast / bullet step laser that will stop at any object in its way.

raycasting scirra.com/tutorials/902/lightning-fast-raycasting

or bullet stepping is one of the demos on the start page.
