Started looking at the Tutorials, but they seem to be the C2 tutorials updated for C3 (not a bad thing). But rather than go through all the remedial stuff again are there some good quick to speed resources for C2 users to learn the new stuff of C3?

Thanks all... The 50% upgrade did work for my C2 business license, so I'm down for a year and will reevaluate next year. I do like that I can cancel today if I want and won't be auto-renewed. Ancestry.com does that with their monthly subscriptions and it's nice. Sign up and then do a bunch of research and be done when you're done. But no worries about renewal.

I do think Ashley there are some more customer focused options you can and should consider down the road. Namely a month to month rate. Not the yearly/12 at all, but for example again with Ancestry, you can do $99 for 6 months or $20 per month. Allows a person who codes/hobbies in spurts to not get stuck with a lot of unused/wasted subscription time. Likewise a six-month option would be a nice addition. More variety gives customers more choices and don't feel enslaved by a single payment system.

But enough said here.

I managed to get rex_date installed and cocoon uninstalled and got my game running pretty much as I left it... Very cool. Now to do some reading or tutorials (the C2 tutorials were very good, hope there are C3 ones just as good) to see what I've missed or what I can use now for better coding.

Thanks again!

dop2000 - Thanks very much. Trying to figure out how to remove cocoon from C2 project and how to add C3 addons...

I would not. They are a pain in the ass. Better to use webfonts:

Webfonts work on Mobile?

Do they work with direct export from Construct to Cordova to Phonegap?

Tutorial shows an Xcode intermediary step.

Wow... getting back to my project and it seems the last build I did on PhoneGap was TWO years ago. So it seems stuff may have changed. First the old version of the code uploaded to phonegap didn't build anymore because some plugins were deprecated. So I created a new build in Construct, uploaded the zip file and after remedying the license issues, the build was on.

But then when I put it on my iPhone and iPad, the icon was incorrect, the game didn't play right (as it does in the browser when testing). On the iPhone the music just started overplaying itself. On the iPad it didn't play the music at all, but when I went to the main game screen, it just froze.

I know this is vague, but it's just odd. It's not a project thing so much as a build thing. Is there a current tutorial for how to build for PhoneGap and what new pitfalls and tricks there might be?

I checked the tutorial and everything is there as is. Only thing I can think of is that some 3rd party plugins no longer work? I will remove them I guess and try a vanilla-ish build.

Thanks!

Good point, there's not currently any particular way to do that. I'll update the manual and add a condition for the next build.

Edit: actually, it returns an empty string, not 0. If you try to convert an empty string to a number you'll get NaN. There are also existing conditions to check if a key exists, or you can check if the key returned an empty string before trying to convert to a number.

Thanks... yeah, found a tutorial from September of this year and am now using the key exists calls to verify first... working like a charm.

Thanks!

The manual shows that when requesting a key that doesn't exist, the call will return a 0, however it's return NaN (not a number).

Is there a way I can test if the value is NaN?

For my first project, which is coming to a close I hope, I've settled on PhoneGap for deployment. Works fine for me and deploys easily. Seems each exporter has different limitations which can be a pain of course.

PhoenGap cannot use the GameCenter plugin when using the BUILD tool online, which I am. So I'm leaving that out for now, unless the other Achievements tool (third party) works with PhoneGap... have to check.

In PG, the browser plug-in does not want to link to my site. Is there a way to shell to a browser and bring up a webpage via other means?

Also, is it possible to write XML files? I know I can read them, but I'd like to be able to update them as well in the app. In relation to this, what's the best way to save/read a preferences/options file? I was going to use XML, but if I cannot write that out, it's no good.

Thanks!

Yeah, I had to go with PhoneGap for mine.

Thanks for the information — While waiting I did something reasonably close. I'd read that link before but it's pretty vague, but I did alter the font size based on the resolution and that got me past that hurdle. The bars are really that big a deal for this app.
