  • In Node webkit, how are resources kept? I got my name and several more information on my resources (for example, image files and audio files), are these metadata information kept or discard?

    Also, does the node webkit contains my license? (to show that I am the owner, for instance)

  • Eisenhans thanks for your reply. Decision is made on a case by case basis in court? That would be like everyone got a gun pointing at everyone, and we may not even know who are pointing guns at us.

  • Dear community,

    We have a lot of music that sound very similar to each other, and I think this could be ugly when it comes to legal issue. But I don't have knowledge in law in this regard, so I want someone to assist me in this.

    I would like to discuss about legal issue in similarity in music. When would it be ok and not ok to have similar music? Listen to the following songs:

    -----

    In these 4 music, there are some similarities one way or another.

    Notice the similar introduction?

    The airship theme sounds quite similar to Mars: The Bringer Of War, and even more similar in Super Mario Galaxy.

    These also sound fairly very similar.

    While the melodies are all different, the structure of these two music here are similar.

    from Sonic 3 And Knuckles is pretty much a 16-bit version of

    These two... sound so identical.

    Here are sites that provide even more examples:

    tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SuspiciouslySimilarSong/VideoGames provides hundreds of similarities in video game music to other media.

    Now, given all the links above, when do we consider a piece of music to be an inspiration of another music and not a ripoff? For me, if the composer has shown that it's not a blatant ripoff, and he/she did really rearrange the components, that is good enough for me, even it sounds similar to another music. But when it comes to law, how do we do this? When will it be possible for one to accuse another if something in the music is too similar? Or perhaps a better question might be when will someone raise hell on you?

    Or am I approaching this problem incorrectly? I got several music in my game, and I see that some parts of a few of them sound similar to some other songs I've heard, so this makes me feel worried. It's not a blatant ripoff, but they got some similar elements one way or another (like those links given above).

    Any advise is appreciated.

  • Free to use? This includes commercial projects? What license do you use for your font?

  • Print xml files instead? That would be like printing out assembly code of compiled programs when you actually have source code right in front of you.

  • I want the player to be able to choose these two settings in the game.

    Is it possible to set Pixel Rounding of Project Setting and Sampling of Configuration Setting while the app is running? I am running on Node Webkit.

  • Is it possible to print out the event sheet? I want to take a look at them on paper.

  • Could you please show us your game's screenshot and the image for your background?

  • You can try having a preset shapes then mixed them up dueing runtime with events.

    But if you want to create shapes on the fly during runtime, you will need to check out some plugins which allow you to modify texture on the fly.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • This is a currently ongoing bug. A workaround is to preload every sound effect you have first.

  • But of course, just like what plinkie said, we all have these off the shelves apps anyway:

    play.google.com/store/apps/details

    So you can just go use those instead. :P

  • Perhaps... you could try to execute some javascript, with Browser plugin? Can we send TCP or some other messages to some IP with this javascript, and on the other end, is it possible to receive that message? This is all theory, and this is beyond me, but if it is possible, it would be quite a nasty hack.
