I was struggling with how to make a a battle system for my current game so I went barebones and made this. Hopefully it may help a person or two.

It's basically you walk into either enemy - encounter that specific enemy. Every enemy shares a health variable which is set upon walking into them.

If there's an easier way let me know! but anyone who was also struggling, take a peak.

I feel like this is likely really obvious and I'm having a moment..

I looked over the manuals for text and text input.

They seem to say use the "text" expression, but have I'm not sure how to do that?

I just want the user to be able to name themselves in my game. so basically store

textInput >> heroName

This is so much better! <img src="smileys/smiley42.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks

I have no idea how I didn't find that, I searched the manuals and forums prior to asking =\</p>

I'm using a HUD and see everywhere all over the forums "oh lol, set parallax to 0,0"

No where can I find what this means or how to accomplish this. I have seen a few demos which really don't tell me anything either.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

edit: ultimately my issue was I had an anchored HUD and it was really laggy? any solution to this is great.

Thanks

I'm still a bit lost in regards to this. I looked at AdSense for mobile, but it's suggesting I have my own site I was to advertise?

— I will take a peak at that tomorrow night, thanks for the suggestion.

I am turtlesaur and when I'm off work I've began looking into making games for Android and hopefully Windows 8 in near future.

hopefully ie10 starts to suck less.

Hi guys,

I'm struggling over the concept of how I should be doing my collisions for best performance.

I'm making a 2D RPG-esque game.

Would I be better off making the entire background as a single image and implementing some invisible walls in C2 that are solid in it's place (for things like book casses, chairs, walls, tables), or would I be better off just making a bare-bones tile set and adding several sprites to a scene with collision?

I suppose the flat picture with invis walls would likely perform better, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

Any tips would be appreciated.

YES, oh man thank you. I just need to find out how to logic that into my game and automate it.

And done. Thanks again.

This is very close to what I was hoping for. I found this to still be quite buggy in relation to the 1 second.

Say the timer is at 0.89 and I press 'down' I stop moving after .11 seconds.

I can't for the life of me get it to work fluently, I'm tinkering with it. I don't know if it's logic error or construct 2.

Still looking for a solution.

I'm using 108.2. version so I can't open it(110). I'll check it shortly and get back to you.

thank you very much for the 'hopeful' fix!
