There actually seems to be a few plugins that do this :).

With AJAX you need to supply a URL. In my case, the information in the url I use to launch the game might change with each visitor.

So when someone goes to my game url using iretrogames.com/html5/word

I need construct to bring in thisinfo into a global variable if possible.

Say I launch my game with the url iretrogames.com/html5/word?info=moreinfo

Is there a way for C2 to bring in that value of info? In this case, moreinfo.

Thanks

Ed

Yeah, I just realized the same. I purchased a personal version months ago. I never even realized you are suppose to have a badge until I saw this thread :).

I just ran into this same issue. Just a black screen when I try to test/play the game.

Ashley, this is the manifest generated by Construct. So construct is generating it wrong?

This was an issue in r99, hoping it would be fixed in 100. I export to Chrome Web Store. When I go to upload my game, I get:

An error occurred: Invalid version format in manifest.

Any idea when this might get fixed? Or is it already and I am doing something wrong?

Here is a copy of the manifest that was generated.

{

     "name": "Kaplow",

     "description": "Catch the bombs before they go KAPLOW!",

     "version": "1.02",

     "manifest_version": 2,

     "app": {

          "launch": {

               "local_path": "index.html"

          }

     },

     "icons": {

          "16": "icon_16.png",

          "128": "icon_128.png"

     },

     "permissions": [           "unlimitedStorage"      ],

     "offline_enabled": true

}

You would need to post the CAPX file on a webserver or dropbox. You linked to a file on your hard drive.

Have a global variable for Timer and ButtonCount

Every Tick at dt to Timer. This will create a timer

Every time A is pressed, add 1 to ButtonCount.

If ButtonCount >= 5 and Timer <= 5 then

Spawn special attack

Of course the number 5 can be changed. With this example, A has to be hit 5 times before the timer reaches 5 seconds.

You will need to make the timer reset each time the button is pressed as well so you know if they hit A in the allotted time. Play around with it. I'm sure you will get it :).
