Hi,

I want to built a kind of a joystick to move my player.

I have created to sprites, one is the dragable stick and the second is the area where the joystick should be movable (horizontally only).

Joystick with area

Here is the capx file

Do anybody know how to bound the dragable element on the sprite area? So it can only be dragged to the edges of the area sprite?

And if it's dragged to the left, the player should move left. If it's dragged right, he should move right.

Thanks for your help!

Probably this was caused by Admob SDK FPS issue.

Fix by following:

fix Admob SDK FPS issue: go to your AdMob account and disable text banners, leaving enabled only image banners. (provided by Cipriux)

If only text banner is also stable too, selecting one of them (text or image) will be a solution.

Thanks

Hi cranberrygame

I already tried that, but it's the same result than before.

The FPS still drops from 60 to 40.

Problem Description

I've greated a game with Crosswalk and I'm using the build-in admob plugin from scirra to load my ads. At Crosswalk I'm using the Plugin from cranberrygame.

I've integrated a toggle button to toggle of the banners. Then the FPS goes up to ~60. Then I turned the banner back on and the FPS drops to ~40

Attach a Capx

I can't attach the whole cpax file but here is the ads part.

Description of Capx

I'm using a variable to allowing the player to switch ads on or off. If ads are on a banner ad will be shown (top or bottom).

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Download the game here: http://envato.wdbase.de/download/demos/ ... signed.apk
• Click/touch on the little setting icon and turn 'Debug Mode' and 'Ads' on.
• Click on the X or on the setting icon again to close the panel. Then click 'start game' and choose the level 1
• Now the FPS will be shown at the left bottom corner (Note: text ads are fine, only rich-media Ads are causing this FPS drops. Just toggle 'ads' on and off again till a rich media ad is shown.
• Click Pause and go back to menu. Now switch only 'ads' off and start again the first level. And the FPS are back at ~60.

Observed Result

FPS drop from 60 to 40 when rich media banners are shown. Text ads are fine

Expected Result

Game should be stable at 60 FPS

Game isn't finished yet, so feel free to say what you think and what i can improve. Also how the performance is on your device (and which device you've used to test it).

Thanks for your reply, that's all I need to know Then I'll keep the SpriteFonts. Thanks!

Hi All,

I know the problem with CJS and extra fonts and bad performances wiht text elements. So I'm using SpriteFonts for my CJS Game. But now I'm about to upgrading completely to Crosswalk.

Do have Crosswalk the same problems with fonts? Is it better to use here spritefonts as well?

Thanks!
