Hi everyone,

I tried searching for this, and was surprised that I couldn't really find anything. I just want a way of implementing a moving platform for a top-down game, to fit with the 8-direction behaviour.

I have attached my first attempt in a test capx here:

TopDownTest (Dropbox)

So this test works, sort of. It's all OK, except for one issue: when you are on a platform that is moving along the Y axis, moving the player left or right doesn't quite work (with the same issue on a platform moving in X).

I was thinking that I need to set the Y vector to something like max(player.vectorY,platform.dy) but that would only work when the platform was moving down, plus I'd have to do the same in the x axis and then I'd struggle when the platform was moving diagonally. It is annoying that setting the player 8direction xvector to the platform custom movement dx doesn't make the player move at the same rate as the platform!

Basically I'm not clever enough, so any ideas would be appreciated

I bought it on Steam and I do have issues with crashes etc. It's better now than it was, but I kind of wish I had purchased it directly as a standalone application.

Just rated all the ones on the page, great work everyone

I just submitted, well done to everyone who got a game done. I will play through them starting tomorrow.

Here's my entry, Castle Uno:

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=14838

It's finished, but not the sort of finished I was hoping for. Works well with the 360 pad though

Exact Same issue for me, any steps we can take for now so we can delete tiles without a crash?

EDIT: Yes using the eraser tool doesn't seem to cause the crash

I'm really interested to hear how you get on, we'd like to try a Jam using SVN at some point, we had a bit of difficulty collaborating on the last LD.

There is a Ludum Dare thread going on in the General Section:

scirra.com/forum/topic82524_post482766.html

Good luck

Hi all, I'm in again. Doing the Compo this time as the rest of the team are busy. Not entirely thrilled about the theme, but we'll see how it goes.

Once again I'll pledge to play and rate every C2 game in this thread at some point, go team!

I get this a lot too; got it on W7 and still get it on W8. I get the 'C2 has stopped working' almost every time I close it.

I'd like to agree with DUTOIT as well; if I have a project open for a while then it gets so sluggish and slow and becomes unusable, so I have to restart. This is particularly noticeable when selecting values from other game objects, and even worse when objects are in sub-folders. My new PC is ridiculously over-powered, so it's not an issue with specs

I had these exact same issues with Vista, just constant DEP errors, I managed to reduce them by removing some old graphics card drivers and updating my current ones. But that did only reduce the crashes to about 2 a day, there was no way to stop them completely. I even tried a fresh install of Vista, no luck.

It's fixed now, but I'm afraid my solution was to upgrade to Windows 8

Not sure where to post this really, I don't know if it's a bug with Safari, Construct or something we've done. It's an error that only occurs in Safari (desktop); basically when the music starts on our latest Ludum Dare game, then the browser crashes. It all works fine on Chrome and Firefox. Don't know what to do really, we just added music to the game and then played it.

Anyone else had these issues? The Safari error message is below if that helps.

Link to the game is on our Ludum Dare page here:

Great stuff everyone, I will also try to play and rate everything in this thread.

We got our entry finished pretty close to the deadline, but happy with it overall. You can play it here:

How is everyone getting on? I'm finding Contruct is slowing down a lot; keep having to restart it. Wondering if it's to do with the millions of subfolders I'm using for the objects.

Still, it looks like we'll get something finished at least
