  • Because Arcade is just a demo, there is a very small file size limit and resolution limit as well.

  • Just browse the in development or completed forum section and see what games others are making with C2.

  • You want to target aspect ratio and not resolution.

    16:9 or 16:10 is best for Android and iPhones. 4:3 is for iPads.

    For example, 1280 x 720p is a 16:9 ratio. But you can also scale it down, as long as the ratio is maintained, its more likely to run correctly in most devices.

    It will be a matter for the CocoonJS cloud compiler, I guess its such a big deal that Ludei won't suddenly ignore it, else we can't upload apps to the Store heh.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I just added that pushout and solid to Tank1Base directly, without doing it via the Family. Custom obstacle so they move. The walls are set as solid so they do hit the walls and cannot go through it.

    Not sure about enemy tanks, i havent look at that RTS code template in detail. But what you want: Pathfind AI to not overlap and bunch units together is possible.

    I use it in my own RTS game, some big fights have heaps on each side and they don't overlap.

    I do find the forum useful. But there are thing's I just don't see construct being able to handle.

    The game idea I am working on allows players to spawn units that move to the right while enemy AI moves to the left. When they collide they start to battle, but construct 2 doesn't seem to support any method of registering damage if there are multiple units overlapping one another as the collision and overlap functions become redundant. This does feel like a very big limitation

    What you described is easily achieved by just collision check without using overlap check. On collision play an attack animation, minus health variables, bounce back wards a bit (only need a few pixels so the collision check can happen again fast) before moving forward again. You can have heaps of enemies and allied units meleeing it out like that and it will register damage for each units that collide, every time.

    If you dont want them to bounce and just stay there, then spawn hidden collision sprite during an attack animation, and do the damage upon that sprite colliding with an enemy unit instead. And if you want even more filtering, enemies can only damage other units on the same layer, so add in a layer check for the colliding sprites. So you could have 10 layers and a whole bunch of units melee each other and they will only damage the enemy they hit on their layer.

    C2 is very powerful, just think outside the box and most things are possible.

  • glide and spin can be changed via setting the physics variables in the behavior.

    2nd option works fine for me, i opened the default RTS template, add the behavior (after install Rex's plugin first!) and they move but wont ever overlap. They push each other out whenever they contact. You need to change the obstacle in Pathfind behavior to CUSTOM and not DEFAULT to SOLID. Then on start of layout, add an obstacle to your unit. ie. "Wall" or "Barrier" etc.

  • Try running XCOM (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... omeu&hl=en) on an iPhone 4 or equivalent device, you can't. Because its fail hardware. Even top Android phones and tablet get hammered with this game.

    At some point you just have to move on and target another minimum spec and not one thats so weak such as the iPhone 4 (which now is a very small market, 4S is the bulk with 5 fast replacing it too).

    I had this (Star Nomad, 1280 x 720p RTS-RPG:

    ) running and holding 50-60 fps during an intense fleet fight on my Nexus 7 & LG G-Pad. On my old Nexus 7 (2012) with Tegra 3, it held 40+ fps, very playable during heavy fighting.

    Performance wise, HTML5 is quite fine on mobiles, as always, it comes down to optimizations. But its not going to be possible if you want lots of WebGL effects, most of them still cripple even top end hardware.

  • If you give the units physics behavior, they will collide with each other and not overlap. Just set the world gravity to 0 else they fall off your layout. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

    I believe Arima has done it.

    Alternately, I've done it using Rex's SolidPushOut plugin: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/577 ... solid.html

    Set your unit to that behavior and set them to Solid.

    You will have to customize the obstacle to something else rather than Solid, trigger it via on startup etc.

    This approach works too and uses very little CPU processing so its fine on mobiles. The only downside is they look like bump cars sometimes, they push out a bit too much. But honestly its just a minor issue, otherwise visually and gameplay wise, its fine.

  • Does anyone know if Cocoonjs + mopub has the latest SDK support for Admob? Just wondering because of how google is going to be phasing out ad support for old admob sdks in August

    Which one is the old AdMob?

    https://www.google.com/adsense/app#home

    OR

    https://apps.admob.com/#home

    Atm I'm working with the 2nd one.

    Edit: There was also the 2nd one but an older version. I'm confused because AdSense can use to monitor AdMob Ads with lots of reporting features.

  • Shukra, you should compare the same game or very similar games from both Tizen SDK and C2 if you want to analyze further. Taking game A and B which differ greatly and trying to draw conclusions is difficult.
