I have no clue, but I'm all ears for any information regarding uploading games, because I struggle too.

I haven't been here long, but in the short time I've been here, I've noticed some very helpful people on the forums who are very willing to share their knowledge. One of the people I've seen going out of their way to be helpful is NN81

People like that are what make forums succeed. So, congratulations to those, helpful people.

UPDATE: I have constant issues with getting my games to appear, to the point that when I get a game to appear visible and playable, I fear updating it, because I don't want it to disappear on me.

For my game Avoidance, it took me 7 attempts to get it work and show up. Then, I when I made a simple update of the player acceleration / deceleration, it took me three new attempts (trying different scaling) to get the game to appear. I was trying to make the game expand to full-screen, but I ended up going back to "letterbox integer scale" as that's the only option that resulted in ANYTHING showing up.

For my last game, Mortal Combat, it showed up and worked from the get go. But, I just made a couple minor tweaks (nothing that would affect an update showing up or not) to the health bar, and now the new version doesn't show up.

I'm lost. Please help.

Yes! I changed the player acceleration and deceleration speed both to 1,000 pixels per second (which basically doubled them both). I think it's much better now.

I also tried to change the scale, but every scaling option I use, ended up in the game not even appearing, so I'm stuck with letterbox integer scale. (I fear toying with that even further because I've already done a total of 10 different uplaods with this, supposedly, simple game.) Also, I think this issue pertains more to the options I chose upon first implementing creation (so, it'd be a big overhaul).

Thanks for the feedback. Apparently, I tried all the wrong scaling options. My newer game used "scale outer" which made it full screen; so I think I need to do that.

That's great feedback about the swifter changes of direction. I guess I can increase the player acceleration rate. I might also need to increase the deceleration rate to accommodate for the increased acceleration. Any other tips on how to accomplish that?

I made a simple little game to teach myself about turrets. It was easier when I practiced it on the bigger screen. For some reason, there's a lot of empty, black space around the version I got uploaded here - which makes it harder.

Here's the game link:

Is the game too hard?

Also, why doesn't it fill the screen like I thought it would? I used 1280 x 720 landscape.

Cubeeo i just complete the forth difficulty mode an i am already tired lol. Just the timer mode leave now to make before start adding 696 more stages to each mode. This is step i use always #CONSTRUCT 2 forever

Lol. I was working on a game that I had to stop for now, because I hit my 100 event limit, and I only have the free version for now. When I hit my 100th event, I was only on level 3 and they're short levels, with an intent of at least 25 levels. It's hard to fit a game into 100 events. But, it's good practice, doing other little short things (I'm super new to this.)

Also, you could name your game A-MAZE-BALL!

Okay, I got it to appear now. I think the issue was that maybe I didn't save the zip file to an empty folder.

My new game, Avoidance, here:

https://www.scirra.com/arcade/shooting-games/avoidance-23253

I just get a black screen. Occasionally it tells me to click to re-focus, but I never see anything more than a black screen. I tried re-uploading, to no avail.

I don't know if I did something wrong, or something else. Oh, and I cleared cache and stuff.

The picture displays now. Issue resolved.

Thanks

When I published my first game, I wasn't prepared to have a pic ready (I know, small deal, but), so I just threw something up there. Anyway, today, I changed my picture for my game, but it doesn't appear to be showing the new picture. It's been a few hours since I changed the picture (I figured I'd wait a bit to see if there was a bit of a delay). So, what's the deal? Does it take longer (like a day) to update?

Thanks.

I enjoyed your game.

Admittedly, my first thought was negative toward the graphics (just the player and enemies) but after playing it, I think it's a total non-issue. Actually, I think what's smart about this, is that you didn't try to get too complicated with the graphics. You understand how much you know, and what you can do with programming, and you maximized your knowledge. You basically said, this is my box, these are my limitations, and you made it the best box you could. I really liked it.

That being said, I didn't know you could buy things, until reading the post above me. I knew I was collecting money and stuff, but I thought there'd be a time when the game prompted me to do that. Now that I know, and see how, it makes sense, but I got 3rd on the leaderboard without ever knowing that.

Anyway, great job. I also particularly liked how it went into slow motion when you die.

I'll be interested to see how this game evolves. Keep up the good work.
