Hello everyone,

I'm making a game that will be released on android and iphone.

I'm writing here, because I need a suggestion from someone who already published a game or someone who encountered my same problem.

Basically, I need to keep track of the user score/progress during the game, such as level passed, coins taken in one level...etc I was thinking to use local storage for some part, since I do not really care about hacking. (is the local storage good for mobile?)

However, I will sell some item in game, such unlock the full version of the game, increase the coins, gems...etc

I'm trying to find the best and elegant way to menage all of this, but everything should be simple on the user experience. I do not want to make the user to make an username or password to retrieve their product already bought if they change device or they uninstall and reinstall my app.

I would like to avoid making up a database and create users. I was thinking a service already made, easy to use and to implement (even if I have to pay). Does the Play store or the Apple store track of the purchase made by the user? for instance, if I sell an item that can be sold just once such "unlock all extra feature" does the game can retrieve this information from the Play Store or the Apple Store if the user uninstall the app? Or do I need to store it somewhere?

Thank you very much!

To be honest. You obviously have no idea how IG works, like you say. So before you complain about the functionality I think you should read the IG api documentation first.

If you have any complains about the names (and/or functions) you should tell them to Mark Zuckerberg & co.......

This has nothing to do with Scirra plugin, it is working correctly.

My suggestion to you is to read the api references first, start creating your game later. Otherwise you will get frustrated and confused.. For what I see you already are :)

I come from the old SDK (before the instant game was launched) and I developed almost the full integration in php 2 years ago (to do all similar, getting larboard, save on my own server...etc) I checked the API quickly and when you said that "(intent has no effect, yet)" that I got doubled confused.

So, when I click the share button it works, it open the pop-up, and the title on the pop-up is called "Share Game". Now, I was asking because if you put challenge or other, maybe there is a different pop up called "Challenge" instead of "Share Game" etc.. I still have to test how the user see the message when the game is shared. By logic doesn't make sense to send 1 life using the "Share Game" intent... this is why I'm writing here asking for clarification lol

Thanks

A) yes that is correct. Just create the fbapp file manually, and drop it to the zipfile before upload.

B) share works fine also when testing afaik

I just started using recently this plugin.

fredriksthlm What are the steps to invite, share, challange and invite another user using the instant game plugin?

I made 4 different button for test all of them.

On click of the button, Share > put the intent and set the data.

On the click nothing happen. I tried it on mobile and on the computer. Doesn't show any error log. I'm guessing I'm missing something here.

Thank you

as Xavier says, you need to add the condition of the distance before the state of the check of the < and > of the X.

I suggest you to make a variable into the zombie called "distance" so that you are able to decide for each enemy the right distance to activate them.

first you compare the distance, than compare if the X is > or <.

If I understand well, you are trying to save an image in order to get when the user get back right?

Then, load the image into a sprite, then you should convert the image into a string, save the string in a local save storage or in a server, and then, retrieve the image from the string when you need it.

I remembered that there is a plugin for it (looks like this plugin is for C2, maybe someone else did it for C3, you have to look)

construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/behavior-extract-sprite-to-bas-46034

Another way to do it using PHP:

construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/save-snapshot-on-server-70172

I bump this topic (I don't want to make a another similar topic) After the 132, the Instant game facebook doesn't show up anymore the canvas. It freeze in the loading showing the error in the screnshot.

To make this bug, just make a empty project, add a text and the instant game plugin and export the file with no minify. On start layout, set text from the ID of the instant game user. (the same project, exported with the 131 works)

Looks like a strange bug anyway.

Thanks

I have never seen that issue. I have never altered anything at all with any file in the exported zipfile.

You should not need to do that.

Try scale outer, or letterbox (if you are fine with black bars)

I tried all Full Screen Mode and the problem persist. (I use an Iphone 5s.) I'm going to see if the same happen by simulating the iphone 5s screen on Google Chrome to see if there is any error log on the console.

Thanks

Many people here have published many games to FB Instant Games, maybe hundreds(?).

I have never heard anyone before had any issues with the loading percent like you and potion seems to have.

Well, I will be curious to see hundreds of games on the Instant game. I struggle to make a simple app works well in this platform. This doesn't depend on the logic of the events itself, but because of some bugs.

The canvas size problem is the biggest problem right now. I'm sure there is a fix that can be applied to the index.html. Is anyone had the same problem as me? Basically, when you open the app, randomly the canvas size sometime is zoomed, or smaller...etc. In order to fix the problem, you have to restart the app until the canvas get well setup.

Thank you
