Your math did the trick, thank you so much!

I have an object with an instance variable simAngle, and then I want to always set the angle of the object to that instance variable. Basically instead of rotating things by the object I want to rotate things through the instance variable and then the object sets its angle as the instance variable.

How would I simulate rotating an object towards an angle by X degrees through instance variables with math?

I have something close but the problem is that it won't take the shortest rotation, it will rotate the longest way possible. Is there a formula for this?

Hello everyone, I am proud to present some gameplay of my latest project. This game takes inspiration from Sega's Afterburner series, specifically Afterburner Climax.

There is still a lot to be done, like actual levels and boss fights, but this has been more of a passion project more than anything and to see the limits of Construct 2. This took about 8 months to make.

Seems like the only limit is memory. With so many frames for the jets the memory use is currently sitting at 338 mb with downscaling set to low quality. CPU usage stays between 21% and 30% for the most part, but once there are a lot of objects on screen it will peak up to 49%. So continuing to add more to make it into a full fledged game seems risky.

Here it is! https://youtu.be/0JRijZ8ekqg

In the future I would like to put this on the arcade for all to play, I just need to add an in-game tutorial first. I stopped working on this project a few months ago and my interests have gone elsewhere into a new project. Please enjoy, and thank you for looking!

I use Construct 2 tho. Does it still apply?

HTML5 games needs to be hosted online though.

You do not provide the users with the HTML5 folder, you host that folder online and have them visit the URL at least once from their browser.

Once it is done, the content is downloaded and the game can be accessed back, even offline.

Otherwise, you export your game for mobile as instructed : scirra.com/manual/122/testing-and-publishing

Does it really? Even if the project has over 100mb+ of stuff?

Is there no limit to how much it can cache from the game?

Hello all. I am currently working on a project, and when it’s finished I plan to export it through NW.JS for PC and html5 for everything else. Maybe even the scirra arcade if people like it enough.

I’m wondering if users with android devices are able to download the folder that gets exported from the html5 export option and play the game offline directly from their device without need of internet connection.

Since iOS users can’t exactly store folders or transfer such files (without jailbreaking anyway), I remember having to use Dropbox to save the bookmark of the index.html to play the games offline, but it never seemed to TRULY offline.

So yeah, just want to know if it’s possible. I’ve never owned an android device, but I figured if the user downloads the html5 folder with everything inside and transfer them to an sd card, if it’s possible for them to play the game through their device without requiring an internet connection. That would be ideal. Thank you!

The Gpd xD is a an android device with a clamshell design like the 3ds xl with Dual analog controls, shoulder buttons and a nice display on the top.

Since it also functions as an android tablet capable of running html5, what would a game created in construct 2 need to have in order to be played using the physical controls on the device? I've seen something like a 'game pad' object of some sort in construct 2 before but I never dabbled in it.

Is it possible to create an internal clock that will keep track of time even if the game is not being played?

Animal crossing for GameCube does this, and even games as primitive as Pokemon gold/silver kept time although I never found out how it worked. Can this be done without plugins?

Hello, can someone explain how to achieve this kind of effect in construct 2? I've tried experimenting with blend modes on layers and sprites but I don't know how to do what I want in this picture. Thanks!

The best solution is not having all characters in one place.

You can have as many layouts as you like, noone including the machines care if some of those are duplicates.

I do have a layout that just contains every object that gets spawned by events, so all the fighters are in this layout however this layout isn't ever to be accessed unless ran through a preview.
