Did you only try once, or have you tried to re-download the file? It could have been some intermittent problem that may not occur if you try again.

I tried again and it worked this time :)

I tried to download the latest version but the file is corrupt. It says it can't be read. I'm using Firefox and Vista.

I don't want a plugin or create a plugin, just want to create a leaderscore. I imagine it would be similar to creating game score, right? Cuz I got that down pat.

How do I make a sliding puzzle that the computer solves, or at least shuffles the pieces around, like here?

Because game makers structure is very...distinct. There are so many options to choose, where you can input the code. It's not that logical and easy as in Construct, where I know, it reads my code from top to bottom in the written order. In GM every single object has its own 4-5 options where I can input code. Can't describe it, because I don't understand it.

I already posted the demo >here<.

Maybe someone else will port it. I like the demo because has working collisions and is less cpu intensive.

Game Maker was a pain for me when I tried it, but I'm not that much into coding myself.

Thanks for the link! The graphics look like they're from Mario & Luigi. Hopefully someone will demo it soon.

I tried to make an isometric game a while ago with r0j0's help. His isometric sorting algo was very good, but a little too cpu intensive with too many objects on the screen and ontop of that I hadn't collisions working also :/.

I found a really interesting game maker example here:

You need game maker installed to open the gmk file.

I let a friend compile it. I uploaded it to my dropbox -> Link.

I looked at the sourcecode via gmk file, but I couldn't port it to C2 :/

Maybe someone else could.^^

edit: arrow keys to move and z to jump

Why not just copy the code as closely as possible?

Cool topic Nick, I like a lot of those tracks.

I keep coming back to this - the OST from Chrono trigger.

For something a little bit more recent - the OST from Unlimited Saga.

This game was very under-rated imo and the music is phenomenal. Perhaps the best music I have heard in a game.

Chrono Trigger has some great tunes :)

I never knew about US, but that music is fantastic!

I didn't say you couldn't make specific Christian games, like those popular Moses and Jesus games on Facebook. You could make a game about the Acts of the Apostles or Martin Luther King Jr. or the Laogai.

Whether it's your most favorite music, your favorite sad music, your favorite athletic music, and/or your favorite joyful music, every gamer his favorite tunes: so share 'em here, so others can enjoy them too!

I need a space/moon theme for my lunar rover game :)

I have started a Facebook group with ArcadEd called Xion Developers. It is a forum for those who aspire to take their Christian faith into the multi-media world of video games.

X.D. will serve as a hub for Christian fellowship while supporting and seeking help from each other in all areas of game development (much like what already happens here with C2, but not just C2), including such areas as programming, directing, art & animation, music, and more. The idea is to help people connect with others and fill roles we can't do alone (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).

As X.D. grows, so, too, will the resources. For instance, along with citing Construct 2 as one of the game editors, one new member added a reference for Corona, another game editing possibility. For the artists, there's the obvious Photoshop, but many more exist. And we'll include sources for things relating to music, too! This is just the start.

Xion Developers is a Christian-oriented group and will operate as such, but non-Christians will not be denied access so long as those here who hold to Christ as their Savior and the Bible as the Word of God are respected. In fact, non-Christians are wholly welcomed! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle"> Likewise, Christians are to be an example of Christ's heart for the lost (remember you were once lost, yourself!) and to show kindness at all times.

X.D. is not to be a forum for debate. (Both Christian and non-Christian individuals are liable for their behavior and attitude and are not except from being removed from the group.) Emphasis will be on all areas of game making with a framework mindset of Christian principles.

Best of all: it's free! (Like I could charge for it on Facebook anyway.)

Of course, there's no promise of any kind that you'll find people to team with or that your projects will find success. This is, after all, just a meeting ground for Christians who want to come together in their faith and interests.

God bless and happy game making!

As a Catholic Christian, this sounds like a fun project. Just remember you don't have to make specifically Christian games but can also make games with Christian themes, references, etc. in them, not unlike how Fable includes some atheistic criticism of the Bible.

The arcade is going to be redesigned soon, and we'll take your suggestion into account as we redesign it.

Thanks Scirra!
