I'm not yet in this step. However did you check if you turned off the test mode in construct 3 and in the admob platfor website?

Hi Ribis,

I did some more testing.

" it can be quite annoying for someone to wait 2/3 seconds before the game start"

you mean each game? Like each round?

I am pretty sure you only have to sign the user in once the app starts, or when the user loses internet (many people do "on signed out > sign in" in that case).

Yeah, I mean only at the beggining of the app. it is still annoying in my opinion.

Regarding my overall problem of my in-app purchases not working:

I think it all comes down to X (inverted) Has product "myIAP_product" is first true and only after a couple of ms turns true if Has product "myIAP_product" is being detected.

Therefor my app starts reacting though the IAP has not been purchased and then gets mixed up when it changes.

I thought when On store registration success fires only one state is returned. Not first 0 then 1.

Has anybody have any experience beyond all this guess work?

To sell a product, you have to make an action saying "Purchase product "product name" that you loaded earlier".

then, you make an event to check the condition of the purchase. On product "product name" Purchased success, or on failed....etc

But first of all, you have to register all your products when you start the game.

You can even have a condition to check if the product were registered successfully or not. I always double check this before an user buy a product. if for some reason the product were not registered on start of layout (missing internet for example) before buying it I have a function that first register the product, and on registration complete, then buy the product.

I CAN get it run fast if I set the frame rate mode to Unlimited, but I'm told that I shouldn't do that in a release build because of battery drain (and some other reasons?). I would probably prefer to set this mode for the older devices that run the engine very slow but I don't think there is a way to switch this mode at realtime :(

Actually this can be a solution even if is not elegant. I have thought about the same when I was testing my game in lower end device. I did several test, and if the frame is set to unlimited in some old GPU I can get the framerate up to 60fps.

Ashley it would be possible to add a feature that would allow us to change the framerate mode in real time? or even if we need to start the whole game? we could easily made an event that if the fps drops below 30fps for more than 5 seconds then the framerate mode can change allowing us to run the game smoother. This could be a quick fix for the GPU that strangely run badly.

The only problem I encounter with my game is that run better on Adreno 405 than Adreno 618, and this of course doesn't make any sense. Also, because the cpu was running low and the fps wouldn't go up to 25fps. While in older device, the CPU gets even at 70% running at 60fps with no problem.

If your game run really bad in high end devices, or even on medium device released in 2017/2018, then means that you are doing something wrong. After several test, I can say that a low resolution will drastically increase the performance. I use the 1024 x 576 with full screen quality set to low. The sprites should be also small, not more than 1024. For the design or particles I use all tiled background, and I keep al my sprite with a small size. With this method my game run smooth in most the devices I tried (9/10) with levels with over 1000 objets.

The only things we can do is help each other testing our game in our devices so that we can blacklist the devices that run our game badly before release on the play store. The problem will be solved over time. Mobile are getting faster and faster every year.

Taximan I really like your art style! I would be happy to try out when you have a beta version ready!

I would suggest you to use array for the most important things. Save and Load state for example are helpful to save quick checkpoint in the level itself, but then you should remove the save state once the level is done for example.

If for example you you need to remember what item the player took, which door the player unlocked, or some kind of states, use an array and save it as JSON in the local storage. I usually assign the X or Y to the IID of the specific object, and update the array accordingly.

When the player start the game or the level, you would need to just load the JSON from the local storage and push it into the array.

In my opinion, Save and load state should only used for quick savegame and not to store the whole game. So that, even if you update the game, you could eventually detect the update and force the player to start from the beginning of the level.

> The level is not linear, meaning that it can expand horizontally and vertically. Also, some platform can rotate and move. So my concern of having an array with fixed angle wouldn't allow me to change the angle on dynamic platform. Still, I could do it for the static ones, that are the most used... However, I would still need a system to get the angle for the dynamic platform.

Yeah, that approach will work for static platforms.

I may be able to give you more ideas, if you could share how is your terrain going to be 'moving' or rotating? I can't relate, because of the sketch above, I am guessing it is made up of triangles, how are you managing the movement, a screenshot or video might help.

I do have some ideas in mind, but it all depends on how your terrain is created (if it can be recreated differently maybe?).

The solids are sprites and they can be angles or squares. Most of them have a triangle collision because I guess it take less resources to check the collision. So to make up the terrain that the user will never touch below, I use triangle collision. The difference between the static platform and dynamic platform is that the dynamic can move and rotate without using any behavior. I differentiate them because the dynamic platform have the designed attached on it, so when they move the graphics needs to move accordingly. Also, the dynamic platform can form a "unique" platform that can move all together using the pin behavior. Both solids are in the same family, so in my logic I'm checking the collision on the family.

It is important to note that the player can't move if the degree is of solid is close to the 75 degrees. The example that — provided is really good, because even if the player get even extreme angle, I could still use another event to limit the range angle of the player. Also, the angle that needs to be changes is only on the animation, not on the player platform behavior, forcing the player to don't move in right angles.

I will post a gif of the game soon. Thank you!

Hello there,

The game display well on the mobile chrome. I have been exporting the same game (different versions) hundreds time for andorid and it always worked fine. However, in the last export it is seems that some sprite/tiledbackground get overwrite with other texture. I always used the simple minificaion and the resample image options.

As you can see in the screenshot, the player solid sprite overwrite what the sun, and what the joystick circle suppose to be. Another time, when I exported the project some sprite textures were completely glitchy.

How I can check if my projects has been corrupted somehow? I usually save a new file (so no overwrite) every time I do some major changes. And I never got any problem. I'm sure that this depends on the spreadsheet. Is there a way to reset all spreadsheet somehow? I have 100 of sprites with animations...
