  • It appears that if we set a ept_color property for a behaviour,it returns a decimal number instead of the format rgb(r,g,b) that gets returned in the case of a plugin.

    The decimal should then be converted to hexadecimal, but the hex color is inverted in the form of bgr instead of rgb.

    Its a big hassle, so it would be great if this gets fixed.

    I come from a programming environment, I have been coding with Actionscript 3.0 for about 6 years, made some games with it but mainly web applications. People kept talking about the decline of Flash and the emergence of HTML5, so I decided to ditch Flash (which for me has been the best language and framework of the last decade) and embark the HTML5 ship.

    I tried Phaser: Didn't like the lack of code hinting and documentation.

    I tried Unity3D: Didn't like the lagginess of the code editor, as well as the fact that you should install the unity plugin in order to deploy your games online. Another thing I didn't like is the slow loading of games made with Unity3D.

    So I stumbled upon Construct 2, never knew that there was a tool for making HTML5 games without coding. Fell in love with it, I was quite surprised how much an event can be the equivalent of dozens of lines of code if you were to code it by yourself.

    I was more pleased of the fact that we can code our own plugins and share them with the community.

    Seriously, C2 cannot be compared with any of those engines in term of simplicity and efficiency.

    X3M - Don't wait for C3, I believe C3 will come out in about 2 to 3 years. That's a very long time. It's not worth it. And besides, C2 is upgradable to C3.

    For example (I might be wrong though), if C2 Personal License costs $120 and C3 costs $200 . You will only pay $80.00 if you've purchased C2 Personal License.

    So if you own a C2 license, you get C3 for free?

  • Try Construct 3

    I wanna buy a C2 license but I can't decide whether to wait for C3 release or not.

  • Tested and working using lastest beta (r237) with liteTween 1.7 as the only installed 3rd party behaviour.

  • Oh, simple. Thank you.^^

    Still not that good to see ABP, which most FF-users tend to use, blocks the game if embedded... maybe I'd think of another hosting-method without adds.

    No, its a good way to force people to add your website in their adblock exception list, so that you get revenues from your website ads. And Scirra gets their product advertised as well.

    Just add a notice above the game telling people to disable adblock in order to play the game.

  • Disable your ADblock and hit Play game.

  • Mozilla just stopped working on it :->

    Oh, but still people can continue the developpement of the OS, it would be awesome if someone continued the project and turned it into something as performing as windows in term of FPS of HTML5 made games and apps.

    I think Mozilla missed a big chance in making handhelds that targets the HTML5 niche which is growing year by year.

  • Hi there, has anyone tried the Mozilla's operating system yet ? Its called the Firefox OS, and according to Mozzilla, its meant to run HTML5 based apps'n'games.

    It can be installed on the android smartphone as a dualboot with the Android OS.

    The project is still in developpement, and its opensource like Android.

    It would be great if anyone had this OS on their smartphone to test the performance of C2 made games, and compare it with Android.

  • Great job LaDestitute, but I think that you have to change the character appearance, its name and the soundtrack used, just to avoid a copyright strike from nintendo in the future in case your game gets to the public.

    The only game I'm enjoying right now is Civilisation 5: Brave New World.

  • It crashes if you set your PowerPlan to Power Saver mode, I solved it by setting the mode to Balanced or Max Performance.

    I think it has something to do with the pc setting the GPU performance to the lowest.
