This is from https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/$73264/promo-free-gamemaker-studio-2-for-ld41

and wondering why would construct 2/3 do something like this a limited time licence with full features that could be used in these kind of game jams ?

create family with different instance variable ( for speed and torque ) and then make a dummy sprite...

Check this link on the forum about using LOS with family :

thx again for the suggestion and i think I'm going to go with limiting the size of the textbox, the only issue with that is because the number of characters is not set ( variable and depend on each date ) I might end up with an extra character that doesn't make sense at the end :p but yeah...

ultrafop thank you so much for your suggestion I'm learning js so I'm new, and the link you suggested is very helpful, but i'm thinking it could be a simple solution,

there is a plugin by Rex but i'm trying to limit plugins as possible

also found this from https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/940/how-to-easily-capture-date-and-time-and-insert-them-in-a-project :

Browser.ExecJS("var currentdate = new Date(); currentdate.getFullYear() & '-' & (currentdate.getMonth() 1) & '-' & currentdate.getDate() & ' ' & currentdate.getHours() & ':' & currentdate.getMinutes() & ':' & currentdate.getSeconds();")

but didn't work, maybe there some syntax error ?

When I sue Browser.ExecJS("Date()") I get the time the date and the time zone, is there a way to prevent the time zone from displaying ?

Thx man !!! you are amazing !!!

every 0.1 second ( num lock was not active :p ), every tick is too much

getting there... now there is a new issue, so I set the trail sprite angle of mvt to the the playerangle -90 when i turn left or right the trail does not follow the mvt of the player any more

Like a skier skiing down a hill he leaves a trail in the snow

What I tried :

I created a sprite for the trail and every 0.1 second I create a sprite and pin it to the background ( angle and position of the player). The issue that i'm running into is that when I reset the position of the background all the trail sprites are still pinned and now I have two trail and more and more every time I cycle is done, If I destroy the trail sprites when I reset the position of the background I lose continuity of the trail.

dop2000 this is amazing thank you so much, this is exactly what I'm looking for , but I couldn't understand how did you limit the length of the shadows ?

Not working using shadow caster it always wrap around

R0J0hound do you think that this effect could be achieved in C2 ?

R0J0hound thank you for the clarification

R0J0hound what's the usefulness of this effect? wouldn't be easily reproduced by adding an outline to the sprite it self ?

is there a gain on performance wise ?
