  • Yes, and knowing that it already includes stuff you'll need, like .PickedCount

    that's Great.

  • To avoid the black bars that's why I'm suggesting that template.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Ashman, why don't you put a CAPX in the templates folder of "safe areas"?

    like this:

    <img src="http://www.tiresias.org/research/guidelines/television/images/safe_area.jpg" border="0" />

    And put the safe areas of the more popular devices (iPad2, iPhone5, iPad Retina), That way one can more easily design across devices.

    Thanks.

    We really need to have a better IDE.

    We need to be able to debug. Step through code, trace variables.

    We need better code analytics - which object are never used which functions don't exit. etcWorking on a large project with three developers highlights how poor the C2 environment is.

    We need bookmarks in the event sheet so that we can just "ctrl-2" and jump down to bookmark 2.

    In design we need rulers and guidlines. Ala photoshop so that we design our screens easier.

    We need a decent bitmap font system. The spritefont as a 3rd party plugin doesn't cut it.

    We need keyboard shortcuts in the even sheet. ctrl-home jump to the top. ctrl-end jump to the bottom.

    We need to be able to merge projects.

    We need to be able to search across all event sheets. e.g., find where this variable is created.

    We need Local variables that are only available within that event sheet.

    You need to make it much easier to collaborate on a project with multiple developers. At the moment the entire IDE is way too basic.

    I believe your next push should really be around making C2 easier to use. Give us tools that help development and aid maintenance and collaboration.

    I really enjoy the results I am getting from C2 but compared to development environments that I am used to working with C2 is very primitive and requires many work arounds and "tricks" to get much productivity out of it.

    Obviously I am not talking about a project with one layout and one event sheet but you try working with 20 layouts and just as many event sheets and that really highlights the short comings.

    Yes!

    An easy way to visualize arrays would also be great, some kind of database. ;] (maybe that could be included in the debugger)An Array Editorr, I vote for: multiline Array Editor

    Seconded, also the follow path.

  • I think that that should be a USER setting, not something automagically? detected.

    I know, cumbersome, but that should make a better fit for monitors and iPads.

  • So, where's the capx

  • I want this too. EasyTween is pretty much the greatest plugin ever created, making it official should be mandatory :)seconded

  • Ashley - I can't speak for California obviously, but I could see this being pretty useful when wanting to copy and paste objects from one layout to another while retaining the same position. exactly, that way any item will be in the exact same place,

    i.e. other layer, other layout, or when copy-pasting between projects.

  • Ctrl+F in Illustrator pastes in the exact same spot

  • Ashley Personally I think some of it might be the fact the two share the same forum. There not much more frustrating than using the forum search, finding the perfect answer only to realize it was for CC haha. Exactly my thoughts, CC should have its own forum, Outside of scirra.com

  • Ctrl+2 is the default in Illustrator, locks selected item(s) in place. Ctrl+Shift+2 unlocks all.

    Another option: Add another lock in the Layers window, this lock blocks the entire layer from moving.
