Yes looks like hz is the culprit.

Thanks for the reply newt.

Hi all,

Just about every Wav file I create using Audacity causes C2 to hang when importing them. The progress bar comes up completes the process and then just hangs - Task Manager has to be used to end C2.

So wondering about any other programs that are out there...

Hi. I would definitely recommend persevering.

All software have bugs of varying degrees, some times caused by the developer sometimes caused by third party components. For example VS is very capable tool, but many of it's own controls (developed by MS them selves) have bugs.

The difference I think here is that MS will take forever (if ever) to correct the bugs even if it is bought to their attention. On the other hand Scirra release regular updates, and if they find the cause of any bugs they will be corrected promptly.

C2 is a very capable tool, and any buggy behaviour is well worth the trouble IMO. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Yeah, for me C2 crashes occasionally while using it, and without fail whenever I have been using Photoshop at the same time and close C2 it will definitely crash.

I am running latest version of C2 on Win8 Pro machine, and if C2 crashes, when I shut down the OS it hangs for a bit then brings up a message about a 'Place Holder Window' still being open and gives the option to force the shut down or go back and close the 'Place Holder' window. (This 'Place Holder' window thing only comes up when I have been using C2, and I have been using Win8 and Photoshop since the consumer preview.)

Anyway if I opt to go and close the window - there is no 'Place Holder' window to be found - and Task Manager shows nothing running.

I have had this problem since I came on board (Dec 2012), but C2 is such a cool tool I just expect it and work around it. I have been looking out for specific things that cause it but it pretty random - except when using graphics intensive software at the same time.

My guess is it is graphics related, since it always happens when using Photoshop, but randomly if I'm not....

Thanks for the input, I will keep that in mind...

Thanks for the reply...

I thought as much, I just began to wonder about it because an .capx I checked out from the forums had in included Event Sheet, but it had been moved below all the other events.

Regards...

Hi all,

So I have been reading as many posts as possible with regard to the inclusion of Event Sheets in another event sheet. The one thing I have been unable to find any info on is where they should be placed. By default when you include an Event Sheet it is placed at the top.

So what I would like clarified is:

• Is it correct to leave them at the top
• Should they be moved to another part of the current sheet
• Does it really matter at all

Thanks for your time...

Hi,

You can login on the scirra site, click your profile name (top right), select Your Purchases from the drop down menu, and download it again.

Hope this helps...

Edit: License Info Here

thehen,

thanks for the offer, as soon as I get something worth trying I will take you up on that. Should I send .capx or the win8 export?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, all.

First of all great topic, and some cool games there!

Just wondering if any one has tested any of these on a Surface or any other Win8 tablet.

The reason I ask is that the only way I can check how the game I am working on looks and performs on a tablet is via the simulator in VS, and the performance is sluggish to say the least. I have tried most of the games listed above and the same is true.

So is the simulator indicative of the performance of a published game, or is the performance lag just due to any overheads of the simulator itself.

Note: they all run fine on the desktop, but not in the simulator.

Thanks.

Nightswim,

I have found Construct to be awesome.

I also tried GM but found the GUI a little annoying (not to say it is not a good tool, after all it has been around a long time).

Construc2 is very well laid out and intuitive to use - you will find yourself doing cool stuff in a very short time - just do a few tuts and your off!

It seams to me that the posters above know a thing or two about programming in various languages. Having said that they also use Contruct2 to make games. If you havn't already done so give Mortar Melon a go - it is very cool game - and it is not the only great game made with Constuct2. So you can make great games and have fun doing so, which is always a great way to learn!

Many years ago I got my introduction to programming (so to speak) using a tool called Layout 4 Windows which used what they called BlackBoxes (basically blocks of code) that you just stringed together to make desktop programs. After doing that for a bit I went onto VB and now use VS.net. What I learned from Layout helped me to pick up those languages relatively easy.

I really think that Construct2 will help you do the same.

Hi, Sorry I don't know the answer to your problem.

However I just wanted to say that the games looks very cool!

Good job so far.... <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
