  • Yes the trick with using browser - set full screen is that it has to be initialed by a "on touch start" command.

  • Yes I think it is coming from the earpiece instead.   But this was not an exported compiled xdk crosswalk project.   Just a preview over language through chrome.

  • Anyone else working with a Nexus 5?

    While previewing the game via chrome and dolphin browser on the phone you end up with really quiet audio, even with the volume turned up all of the way in the setting menu and with the volume rocker.

    What's really strange, is when you are using the volume rocker while in chrome, it displays the Phone handset volume bar, instead of the speaker icon.

    And unless you shutdown chrome, the phone gets stuck in this " low volume" mode for any other app etc.

    What's even stranger, is this behavior only seems to occur while previewing a construct project. If you go to any other page on the web with audio on it etc, it plays fine, and will also show the volume icon while adjusting the volume rocker.

    This seems to possible be a chrome bug/dolphin, because the audio plays fine using the opera browser.

  • Use this

    text - set text to map.tileAt(mouse.x, mouse.y)

    this will report whichever tileID is under the mouse at any given time.

    you were close at first :)

  • Great little explanation on how procedurally generated random levels are created for spelunky

  • Not sure on the way you are trying it, but there's a plugin called "sprite sheet" that offsets a tiled background, you can use that to create an infinite scrolling bg as well.

  • You might also be able to use the 9patch object

  • Check out this approach to isometric pathfinding

    From Kenney.nl

    1. First I draw a polygon where the user can walk. This would be the ground where no obstacles are.

    2. Then the game automatically generates a tile map over the polygon, whenever a tile touches a polygon it's marked as a walkable tile.

    3. Using the A* algorithm I calculate the path from the player to the point he has to walk to. Diagonals are a bit more 'expensive' to walk on, read more about A* here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

    4. Now comes the best part: I shoot a raycast vector from the first point in the path to the next, if the raycast doesn't hit the edge of the polygon then it goes to the next point...and the next, and the next. Until it hits an edge of the polygon, then it marks a point back as a straight line. It does this for all poins, resulting in a smooth, straight path which looks very natural and would be the path we humans would take.

    5. Hide everything for the user and make the player walk along the path.

  • There's 2 approaches you can try. One is to create 3 copies of your background. As you swipe you move all 3 left or right. As the first one goes off the main screen, the second slides in. And the one on the far side moves to the other side. So you are always moving the one that is off screen over to the other end to fake the panoramic look.

    The other solution is there's a plugin called "sprite sheet" that allows you to animate the offset of a tiled background object.

    You'd have to tweak the "sliding with inertia" code a bit and point it at offsetting the offset.x value instead of the positional value, but it should work. It will give you an endless panorama bg.

  • Give a variable to each player called "active"

    When they spawn set active to 1

    When they die, set "active" to 0

    system player1.active=0 AND player2.active=0 -> end game

  • You should read up on the concept of "picking" objects in Construct. You need to specify which object needs to have actions applied to it. Right now you are probably "picking" all of them.

    There's many different ways of picking a specific object. Can you post a screenshot of how your game works to help us better suggest the easiest solution?
