  • Hey, previously I posted about a project involving drawing objects in-game to have something... say, a Pong ball, bounce off of and then erase the line. But I'm having trouble working with this one. Can anyone lend a hand? What I need is help with making an object reflect off a sketch, and then the sketch erase.

  • I just downloaded the plugin needed (Thanks, R0J0hound!) but how do I install it now?

  • Hey, that's pretty cool! Thanks!

  • Try Construct 3

  • I'm unfamiliar with that. How do I use it?

  • I was considering making an Inkball clone (Haven't played? It's like pinball but you draw lines instead of use the flippers. It came with the XP Touch and Vista computers, but Microsoft scrapped it with Win7. They should have brought it back for Win8.)

    But can Construct make a simple drawing system? All I need is something that lets you sketch something, and then erase it either when you hit the eraser button or when a ball hits it. (But if this idea takes off, it could become some kind of Magic Pencil game!)

  • HellMax, but the next question is, does Chrome Mobile support Gyro input?

  • Forget my previous post. But any control scheme should work so long as you completely turn off the "dry" mode once he hits the water. If it's not too hard, I might try something like this myself and go with a method for changing character/objects completely.

  • Oh, I get it, so you CAN make a platformer with the physics engine, but you have to make the controls manually via "apply force" codes. Now, is there a simple way to make water, or is that something I have to make from scratch too? And what's different between a Force and an Impulse?

    Nice demo, BTW. Only, I noticed that Physics mode is a bit more CPU intensive on my PC. Is that part normal?

  • Thanks. I was kinda over-thinking it, thinking you had to do some kind of file -> import thing.

  • So I can't have a platformer dude in a physics level?? I'm even more confused. Does it have to be something where you only interact indirectly like Angry Birds or Crush the Castle then?

  • The physics thing is pretty cool, but it is so confusing and weird compared to everything else. How do you set the gravity? Why doesn't it bounce off solid objects? Why does a character with both physics and platformer behavior bounce when he sits on a solid block? What's going on here?!

  • Hey, is there an easy way to copy-and-paste pieces from one project to another, say if I made two templates with different objects that I want to move to a third? I tried copy a character from one file to another but it didn't exactly work.
