Really nice design, reminds me of the TV show lost. Nice Work!

Maybe I should have a polar bear appear on day 15...

Really cool music, cool effects. I really like the transition from one level to the next - I'm not sure what space magic you did to achieve it but it looks great <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Am I right that only local web fonts have a problem?

After the testing so far in this thread, it seems so.

Can someone make a bare-bones capx to help testing?

My original post has a link to the capx I've been using for tests. Here is the link to the capx. It's a demo created by lemo a while back so that it could be verified that it's setup correctly.

The fact it works in Firefox further suggests it's a Chrome bug.

I should point out that this thread isn't supposed to point fingers at C2 - It's entirely possible that this is a bug in Chrome. This thread shouldn't be seen as us pestering you to fix it as much as trying to determine where the bug is coming from and, if it is Chrome, what is causing it. The switch from R99 to R100 seemed to break something, but what it was, be it in C2 or Chrome, is the million dollar question.

Can someone check if it works in Chrome with WebGL disabled?

Webfonts, local and external, all work in the versions I tested with WebGL disabled.

Savvy001: 100 levels?! Wow.

I can't wait to see the trailer, your game sounds awesome.

lemo: That's a really good idea. The right click menu started off as setting move nodes, jump nodes, wait nodes, melee nodes and shoot nodes. I removed most or merged them into other actions until pretty much just jumping is left. I wanted to get rid of the menu as it exists now as it seemed kinda pointless. I like your idea, it makes a lot of sense. Cheers!

Savvy001: Are you guys still working on it? It would be cool to see where else this concept could be taken.

Whiteclaws: When you say "it also doesn't have all the wanted features" I find this very interesting - What sort of features would you like to see?

DeadlyCheese: Thanks mate. It's a good to see the word fun being used - My main concern is that this might be a good idea in theory but struggle in practice. "Is this fun?" is something I've been asking myself a lot.

Oh I'm so in! I mean I've never made a touch control game before but...how bad could it be?

vee41: I've noticed that icon if you are accessing your game through HTTPS and using external webfonts. Clicking that icon and giving Chrome access to the files seems to fix it (this was related to the weird localhost fix on the previous page I posted at squidster). However it doesn't seem to fix the fonts when they are local webfont files.

Edit: Forgot to mention, if you are sharing your link and you don't want people to have to click the shield icon to allow external files, send them the HTTP (not HTTPS) link. HTTPS will block any files that do not originate from the page/domain you are on, which is the case when using external webfonts.

Ashley: The latest version of Chrome me but still noticing the problem. However, I went back and tried out what Paradox said and installed R99. In R99 I can confirm webfonts are working fine with WebGL turned on in Chrome. It seems that with R100 there is a large amount of new code in the runtime.js for shader support and that's when webfonts break.

Could something in R100 be the source of the problems? Or is R100 just making use of a feature that is bringing a bug in Chrome to light?

Haha, definitely some Frozen Synapse inspiration coming through (it's too bad the multiplayer population died off, it was a damn good game) <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Glad to hear you guys are liking the mechanics. Do you think it would be good to push more towards hidden-trap/unfair-levels like IWannaBeTheGuy, or slow it down a bit and make the levels more puzzle like? The end prototype above is quite different to what I originally envisioned when I started programming it, so it would be interesting to hear of what directions the game could be taken in.

I've been working on a game for a few months now (it was actually the reason I bought C2!). It seems though that I completely underestimated how difficult the concept was and I've spent countless hours wrangling the code together. The core mechanic is based around setting a player path and allowing them to edit together a sequence of events to get through the level.

It's at the point now where if I want to build this out into a proper game I'm going to do a rewrite of the code base. However if I turn this into a complete game I want to be sure that the core idea is worth playing. I have a few other game ideas kicking around that I would like to do, but I don't want to ditch this game if it turns out people rather enjoy the concept.

So, I humbly submit this WIP to the C2 community. The game is still a bit buggy, but I would like to see if people think the game mechanics are fun. If you could play through the tutorials and give the levels a try, would you like to see more of this game? Is this concept worth fleshing out? Are there parts of the mechanics you like but would present differently? Did you have fun playing?

Do you get any errors? What happens exactly when you try and add a new sprite to C2? Do you have the latest video card drivers installed?

boolean : Remember the manual ? ^^

boolean: capx are zip archive. Extract it to an archive and you get access to its inner files.

Then zip the edited folder and rename it to capx.

Really? HA! Wow the more you learn. Good info mate <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
