Hi Construct Experts,

I'm trying (and I mean TRYING) to make a simple ski game... but failing miserably... lol!

This simple touchscreen scroller has proven challenging for me and I'm either breaking it or spending too long on one thing!

issues:

1. player control - ideally, I would like player to move left/right - follow touch (but had issues trying to use touch.x / touch.y - so I created buttons instead.

2. SPEED control: - I've managed to control the scrolling background but getting the spawning tree's to behave at the same speed isn't working

* no touch - increase speed.

* Touch - decrease speed.

here is my capx http://robfreeman.co.uk/demo/skii.capx file.

I'd be grateful if an expert would provide some guidance as to how I fix this.

Regards,

Roberto

WOW Fidasx, thank you sooooooooo much. Thanks what I envisioned.

Hello experts,

I'm trying to make a simple game... Rocket (block) takes off from surface (rectangle) and textbox shows distance travelled. That's it

I've checked online and found =[quote:3gr1dir3] Distance(instance1.x,instance1.y,instance2.x,instance2.y)

but don't know how to apply it.

Originally I tried a variable = DIST (distance), but I'm intriged by system action. Here's my capx

http://robfreeman.co.uk/temp/game.capx

rules:

1. Player clicks = TAPS variable adds

2. Bar counts down and when = 0, the rocket (block) takes off.

3. variable "Burnout" starts and counts down from 10.

4. when "Burnout" = 0, I was DIST textbox to display the distance from surface to rocket.

Hope this makes sense.

As you may see, I tried doing this with a variable "DIST", but I cannot get it to stop counting when "Burnout" = 0

Thanks for your time.

Wow that's awesome - thanks Guys... I've just installed & signed up for IntelXDK... will play.

Thanks Guys

Hello,

I'm a Windows 7 n00b... trying desperately to publish my first Construct game on GooglePlay.

I first tried QuickAppv1 - and this created "file-Quick_App.signed.apk" file... but when I tried to upload to my Developers Console, I got the following error:

"Upload failed: You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned. You will need to run a zip align tool on your APK and upload it again"

I have tried following tutorials from Scirra without success. I fear they may be out of date

so I found article: "How to Sign and Align your Android App (.apk)" https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/861/how-to-sign-and-align-your-android-app-apk but was getting: error in my cmd: 'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Any help would be sooooooo appreciated - Thanks,

Stressed out!

Hi Forum,

I recently published my first game on "Google web store" and followed the scirra guidelines when compiling it... but my game plays a (black screen of death) and nothing else happens

I'm forced to Task-Manager terminate it. Am I doing something wrong? I've updated my Google Chrome Browser and still nothing.

Hi Experts,

I'm still a N00b... so thanks for taking the time to read this...

I'm trying to make an Egg game.... Imagine 3 eggs on screen... starting with Frame 0 as Egg shell.

action: You click 1 of 3 eggs (1 at at time).... two will set Frame to 1 and ONE will reveal Frame 2 - The rotten egg.

So, I have 1 sprite with 3 frames.

Frame 0 = egg shell

Frame 1 = egg yolk

Frame 2 = rotten egg.

So this is a guessing game.... which egg has the rotten egg behind it... crack 2 eggs to win... lose if bad egg.

I NO CLUE AS TO HOW TO DO THIS (IT'S DRIVING ME CRACKERS)

- egg frame image

So I guess I need to make it random each play...

deep in the dark place of my limited mind says perhaps this might best done under ARRAY??????

Thanks for your help

Thanks Mirlas, back to the drawing board then

Hi Community,

I'm still a complete N00B with C2, but having fun learning al the same time. My question is this (after exhausting web search)...

CAN A SPRITE PASS THROUGH ANOTHER SPRITE WITHOUT COLLIDING WITH ITS EMPTY SPACE?

Example: I'm trying to create a top-down scroller game: e.g. Spy Hunter.

Sprite A = car (left & right controls)

Sprite B = road (which scrolls downwards)

Below is an image example of Sprite B:

http://robfreeman.co.uk/Temp/game.html

Imagine: Sprite B, being the road... the edges are solid but the middle is empty (chequered) ... I want to enable collision with the car and road, but only collide with the solid edges.... hope that makes sense.

here is the game file.

I thought I might have been able to have two polygon shapes on either side, but sadly not.

Thanks;

Roberto

Hi,

I'm a n00b but I'm loving every minute of learning this stuff. I'm trying to make a game were the Player hits SPACE key and a "box" drops down... what I'm struggling with is the behaviour of the "box" when making contact with the conveyor belt.

I've checked out this tutorial

https://www.scirra.com/forum/how-do-i-make-a-conveyor-belt_t65364

however, I've over complicated it I think.

Any help from a Guru would be appreciated.

Regards,

Roberto
