  • So, the closed alpha is going quite good, and I have had some interesting feedbacks from players.

    I know you have been very worried since I haven't spoken for weeks ( ... sure... ) but I guess this screenshot may give you the idea on what I am on

    That's right, multiplayer.

    Instead of completing all the rules, I prefer to prepare first the multiplayer, so the tester may test also the interaction with other players and use the game to explain the game to newbies. In this way, I can complete the two main game modes (AI will come in a further future) and then focus on rules.

    Stay tuned!

  • I know, I know, you missed me so much!

    This update post come a little late, but this doesn't mean I wasn't working on your preferite-bad-drawn strategic game!

    As said in previous post, next step is closed alpha version... but to prepare this version I had first to close some bugs and to complete the start-play-end-replay game loop!

    Furthermore, the last C2's beta release had a "bad" news for me: no more publishing in http, but only https, so I lost some time to find some free https hosting... since I haven't found one yet, I've decided to don't upgrade to the new beta release and keep searching.

    In any case, the loop is almost complete, and I hope to publish the closed alpha by the end of next week!

    Unfortunately, this post has no screenshot for you because the main part of my last days' job was "behind the curtain" so here's a potato for you

  • Try Construct 3

  • For the sake of precision, after having tested a while, I choose for another solution: I have created a bigger sprite outside bounderies (so four instance of the same sprite, one per side) and simply check if the ship's sprite is overlapping it.

    The reason is that the ships can change their angle while moving and I had often situations where the algoritm suggested that it was still inside boundaries, while it wasn't.

  • The Kyatric's solution seems working fine.

    Thanks

    :facepalm:

    I always start with the FAQ, but I have missed this thread...

    Thanks a lot, I'll try ASAP and let you know

  • Another day, another newbie question!

    How do I check if a sprite "fully overlaps" another?

    My goal is to check when a ship exits the "combat area" and in that case destroy it. An housemade way could be to create another sprite, bigger than "combat area" sprite and in a lower z-level, and check when it is overlapped by the ship... but I don't like it too much.

    Any idea?

  • I've experimented it too, but I am unable to reproduce it.

    Thanks!

    I know it's a project for just the people who already know the game... at least, for the moment! The very long term objective is to set the game in order to let everybody learn and play it...

    KnivetonStudios

    In Italy is becoming "famous" in the last couple of years... if you want to become addicted again and help with the graphics and UIx, you're more than welcome

  • This week I've been in vacation, so didn't manage to do very much... But I know you were missing me, so, after having solved the previous issue, I managed to do some menus:

    I know, they are horrible, but until I found somebody willing to cooperate with me on the graphical side of the project, this is what you will get

    Next objective... closed alpha!

    If you're interested, let me know

  • Voted!

  • "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth"

    Since I don't know nothing about web programming and I am still learning, I thought the problem was on some misterious file/configuration... instead was much more simpler: once the file were uploaded, they became all lower case, so "Ships.json" become "ships.json" and so the error the console gave should be interpreted as "file not found" and no cross reference...

  • No idea? What am I missing?

    Sorry for the "newbieness" ( :look: ) of the question...
