I tried some of the construct 2 demo games on my windows 8.1 surface

http://www.scirra.com/construct2/demos

The sound worked on all of them except for "Moon Shield"

This is so weird. There must be something different about the sound in Moon Shield and the way I'm implementing my game. I've played around a bit but just can't seem to figure this one out!

Okay, I made a little test program.

This program works on my computer but still doesn't work on my Windows 8 surface.

I used a high and low quality sound that I input into the "sound" and "Music" folder. All work on my PC running windows 7 but none of them work on my windows 8.1 surface.

The "Touched" text is just to let me know that an input was received on my surface.

Let me know if there's any more info needed as I'm determined to figure this one out.

Thanks for the fast response!

I will try a few tests and if I'm unsuccessful, will upload some examples.

The weird thing is that it works fine on my pc running windows 7 :s

Hello,this is the game i am working on.I hope you like it and any feedback is much appreciated.

That's pretty cool!

I like that you can move your shield up and down to block arrows.

I just tried one of the demo games on my surface and the sound worked fine *scratches head*

After realizing that I need a windows 8 computer to make windows 8 games, I decided to try exporting my games as a html 5 website and playing them with a windows 8 surface. This works well for the most part, but I can't get any sound to work!

Is there any way to get sound working on a windows 8 surface?

I'm running windows 8.1 on my surface and the sound seems to be working fine.

Thanks in advanced. Let me know if there's any other information needed and I'll try to supply it as quickly as possible!

Trying to export my game to windows 8.1

I exported the game to windows 8.1, tried opening it with both "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web" and "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop". Both gave me an "unsupported error" when I opened the sln file.

My computer won't run "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows" because I'm on windows 7... Do I need to be running windows 8 to export windows 8 games?

Any help or insight?

I'm keen to fix this problem and start testing!

Does anyone know of a text to speech plugin for construct 2?

Thanks mate! It actually makes a lot of sense now that I got my head around it.

Cheers guys.

Sorry, this was just an example! It's actually for a music program...

Here is a better example:

replace("A2,A3,A4", ('2', '3', '4'), "A5")

(Best example I could come up with right now) <img src="smileys/smiley13.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Is it possible to search for more than one bit of text to replace in a string.

For example

replace("This*and This%", ('*', '%'), " ")

... Obviously the above doesn't work :s

I can't think of any efficient alternatives...

Maybe

replace(replace("This*and This%", "*", " ")), "%", " ")

This works ^^ But just doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm just being anal <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks in advanced!

... On another note. Can I make it so replies to my post go straight to my email? Can't find this option anywhere :s
