  • I have seen others use the tutorial on PHP + leaderboards and integrate it with facebook to show the users profile picks next to their high scores. If you look at Tappy Shark on facebook you will see what I am talking about. That game was made in C2 and uses php + facebook integration to do it.

  • If it doesn't do anything for the canvas then it has no use for Construct 2 right...

  • Lucid talked about it a bit a while back, in frame by frame you have basically an entire copy of the character or object (sprite) in each frame. That means for each frame you are basically multiplying the amount of space those images use. For a Spriter animation you have a group of sprites that together combined for the amount of file space as roughly one frame of animation. And then you have limitless animations you can create with it and no extra file size, etc... for doing so. It is a great way of doing things efficiently.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • You gain a lot for the loss of the spritesheet. You have individual sprites, but at the same time you don't have duplicates of them frame after frame after frame which saves way more room than spritesheeting would if I am looking at it correctly...

  • Between my 6 hour commute and trying to sell my house, it may not be until this weekend that I would get a chance to actually crack open the capx.

  • What type of variable is Percent_of_HP? Is it a number variable? You may also want to try rounding or doing abs to see if that helps get you a result as well.

  • I haven't seen or heard from austin in a while, has anybody else? Wondering if they have been having issues and just not supporting the plugin, etc... anymore... anyone have any more recent experience interacting with the Clay.io folks?

  • Add some logic to your events that play sounds to only play if a variable (soundEnabled) is set to True.

  • Also of course:

    Spriter () (Animation tools that work with C2 $25 currently for the Pro version)

    InkScape (Free Graphics app)

    GIMP (Free Graphics App)

    Adobe Creative Cloud ($50 a month with 1 year minimum requirement) gets you ALL of adobes software.

    (Free Graphics for games)

  • For game developers who are just starting and have created a company (LLC, etc...) you can apply for Microsoft BizSpark () and if accepted you get ALL of Microsoft Software for Free for 3 years for your company. That included the fees for the Microsoft Marketplaces (Win8/WP8) as well and Windows Azure (cloud computing, storage, etc...). We joined about a month after forming our LLC. You must have a website and be an officially registered company though to do it. Also have info on your site about what your company does and any projects you are working on.

  • An OS runs at the machine level, usually doesn't require that the machine boots to an OS, then launches the browser to run another OS... most likely why you are not getting any answers, nobody looks at the subject and thinks, oh yeah, I have done that. You may want to change the title to more accurately describe the actual issue you are trying to fix instead of saying I need help with an OS. Just a thought, but it may help you get better response.

  • No problem, you can also edit the title of this thread to add a bit more detail about the type of problem, you may get some more responses that way as well. It is a good practice that once you have a solution, you update the title to be something like: [Solved] Spawn sprite at touch end point

    That helps others find this as well if they have similar questions.
