Ok, that would be by next Question

I have tried cocoon JS and I am just super confused as I am new to all this. I am a Developer but completely new to the game thing.

When opening Cocoon JS on Iphone it allows me to select a URL which I am pointing to my webserver and the game runs in full screen when I select webview mode. When I am trying to run using Canvas 2D /WEBGL I am getting a black screen. I do not really know what the difference here is.

How do you make an App and run it with CocoonJS ?

I will try your example know. Thank you for that.

I'm not new to make game, but I'm new to export in cocoonJS ... when you finish your game, just upload on the website of ludei and register on apple developer... it's better if you get a premium account of cocoonJS...

when you click on canvas 2D/webGL, you need to wait some seconds (depends how is big the game) and check if your antivirus block the iphone when it try to open the game... you should look on the debug if you have some problem...

I had a problem with my firewall when I tried the application

How did you get the webstorage to work ? When I compile the game in html5 onto my webserver and run it using mobile safari on iphone 5 the webstorage is not working

I never try to test my app on safari... the best way is to export in cocoonJS and make an application...

I made this example for you, try and let me know if is working

Has anyone saved any data using construct in a an ios game and can describe how to do it ?

Actually I'm making a game for iOS, and the webstorage is working when I try the game on wi-fi...my doubt is when you remove the cache from the iphone if the savegame still stay on the phone... but one user said to me is working when you publish the application... maybe the app will make a special folder with the cache of the app...

and how... you can see the manual of construct2: https://www.scirra.com/manual/120/webstorage

thank you all for the reply, maybe I will continue to use less object and more variable/event...

I made a test and on mobile and is better to make more instance and change the variable to make a "new" object with the same instance (just change the frame of animation and edit the variable of the instance...) in a long time will be difficult, but is better...

Usually i'd try to understand what is being said, but trying to decipher what you wrote... just gives me a headache.

It's like you're not even trying. >_>

...

I'd say that making many different types of objects for different purposes would be better, as it would be easier to manage and edit, and any behaviors used wouldn't be applied to all of the objects. Probably the same for checking if conditions are true.

a lot of people understand my post, I don't like to use google translate, I just use for a new word when I don't know how I can say something new, but I wrote the first post in 3 min and for me is a good....

Hi everybody, I have a doubt about the performance in general, and don't just construct2...

I means, when I'm thinking about how make some objects (sprite) for the games, o for one software, I like to make 1 object and use for many different kind of things...

it's pretty difficult to explain that (my english is not very good) but, for instance:

if we make a 2d platform game, you can make some objects for make the gameplay (like a movable platform, enemy...etc)

now, I'm making a platform in 2d, and I have one object, and this object can be a lot of object (change the frame, the variable...etc)

now, is better to have one object with 20 variable and 10 frame (and use 40 instances of the same object with different variable on the scene) or make 2 object, with 10 variable and 5 frame and use 20 instance of one and 20 instance of the another one?

what is the best system to make the best performance? is the same?

thank you very much!!

I don't understand people like this... it's illegal off course, but

Construct2 personal license is like 120$... you can try the free version and consider if the cost is good or bad...

for my personal opinion I think the cost is very good and everyone who has a computer and like to get a new experience 120$ isn't enough... is not 5000$ ... if you spent 120$ and in the future you will not make money from your application, is a sort of investment...

first of all, its pretty strange you have better performance without webgl,

i would say its your graphic driver thats need updating, but then again if it happens on ios, that couldn't be the case

maybe its a genuine bug with the canvas render and tilemap, as most people are using webgl, it could be undetected

best would be to try to reproduce it in a smaller project and post a bug

Ok, I find a ""solution""....

depends of the windows size and the scale setting...

I was use 1280 x 720 on windows size( the resolution of iphone 5s)... I try different test, now I use 960 x 640 without scale, and is working.

but I think this problem is very important to solve, because if depends of the resolution screen and the windows size, maybe when I will try on ipad or different apple device the problem appear again and again... this make a serious problem if you like to make your game in iOS.

another serius point (this is about cocoonJS and not construct2 maybe) is:

when you active the webGL and test your project on iphone (with wi-fi), the battery will be very hot (never seen before like this), and in you have the iphone on charge, the battery still go down!! if you use like 10 sprite is the same, it's the webGL to take a lot or resources maybe.

so, webGL for cocoonJS is a big problem, but if you don't use the webGL, the performance is incredible, you can make a very big map with a lot of sprite and the performance is unbelievable off course, maybe if you use the tilemap (I consider the tilemap very important)

now, if with the next resale of construct2 and of cocoonJS solve this problem is perfect, and I think is good idea to fix it (if the problem is about the rendering,windows size etc... maybe it's easy to fix it)

Ribis I hope you will succedd.

Ashley

thank you very much, I hope too eheheh

above the fullscreen detail setting, "fullscreen in browser" has options, try integer scaling

if I set integer scaling, on the computer is working (sometimes...) , but on iphone with cooconJS, when the player is moving on the map, you can see a horizontal line with the same color of my texture, the horizontal and vertical line take all of the screen...

it's happen without tile (where I don't have texture in the tilemap) and when the player is moving on the map.... sometimes the lines are different from the border of the single tile (look this image and the first of the upload)

this is very strange and I don't know what I can do... this make to me a big problem, I must disable the webGL because I don't need to use it... tomorrow I will post a capx with the same tilemap...

someone know how I can fix it? I would like to use tilemap, I think is the best way for my game...

thank you very much!!

Ribis are you using fullscreen scaling? you must use integer scaling, other than that, maybe post a capx with your settings to check

thank you for the reply, and what is integer scaling? I can't see on the options

I try all of the resolution (Fullscreen in browser) with:

pixel rouding:on

Fullscreen scaling: High quality

use high-DPI display: yes

enable WebGL: off

Sampling: point

I try all of the combination, on the computer you see the seams like 80% of the tile, on iphone you see the seams a little bit, depends where the player is on the Y,X...

this is very frustrating, because I tried Construct2 for 2 years, and now, when I'm ready to make a serious project just appear a error rendering

with webGL no seams, but I don't need webGL, just make lag on CocoonJS, a lot of lag.

I can't send the project now (I need to make a new one with the same problem, and I will do it) did you resolve this problem without WebGL?

this is very frustrating

glad i could help!

i had to learn all these the hard way.wish i had someone to tell me earlier.

Ashley says that that's the way it is but i cant believe this because it renders the whole tilemap thing useless for many situations.

so if you want to help out,

bug him until he figures out a way!

I try your suggestion but doesn't work...

in my project the seams stay everytime... and a see a line to a png trasparent tiledbackground! I try all of the combination,

pixel rouding ON, sampling POINT, low quality etc... but doesn't make any difference...

how I can use tilemap if I can't use for this problem?? with webGL is working, but if i turn off webGL the seams return visible.

I repeat, cocoonJS with a webGL on will be very laggy with 4/5 sprite with one color and one movement sine turn in 38fps! , without webGL the performance are incredible. 61 fps without lagging!

this is a big problem for my opinion if the rendering of construct2 without webGL make this "seams" around the tile...

it's a bug? we can fix it?

thank you for the reply, I think this is very important to improve the performance... try in your project, turn off the webGL and try CocoonJS..

I'm no hardcore programmer and I only know some fundamentals of javascript and C++ OOP. Where can I get started? Or should I ask for assistance? If so, I'm on the wrong board I guess...

I suggest you to "study" and write the project at the first... sometimes some project sounds easy, but when you try to make it will be more complicated...

just start with your idea, and try to make simple and easy, this projects should use php, mysql and java maybe...

you need to know how construct2 and the other code works together.... with the construct2 you can make a game, the problem it's to save the data on the database, integrate facebook and save JSON file on the server.

you can find this example everywhere and I suggest you to start with the easier step (integrate facebook and save the data on the database) if you find some example in php of registration on the database, in construct2 works because it's just php, you need to get the value from conctruct2 and not the html file

if you want tilemaps without seams you must select sampling to "point" and maybe pixel rounding to "on"

but you will lose scrolling quality and some png's will look a lot worse than the one you exported from lets say photoshop.

if you create 1px invisible border around every tile how will you tile them?

the only other way to not have seams without using the above at least to my knowledge is to use your tilemaps as sprites with animation frames. read the tutorial from ashley about "basic platformer"

thank you very much for the reply, but I would prefer to use the tilemap... it's perfect to load with JSON file and implement in the future new level from internet.... with the sprite I need to "redesign" all of my game... this is my last point if i don't solve the problem

I don't remember if I try this combination, if a lose the quality of png I don't care if my game run 60fps on iphone...

the must of people don't care if the quality of the image is perfect, you can see a lot of application with a lot of download and the quality of the graphics are not very good...

I don't understand that, If I make every tile with a trasparent border what happen?

thank you very much again
