It works! bug_fixer, thanks for this, it works great. This is going to help tons until scirra/steam fixes the issue.

Thank you, thank you.

Edit: and if it is started already it opens selected file in project menu - very cool thank you. So I can now open from browser <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

bug_fixer,

Thanks for this... don't take it the wrong way - just watching out for my machine

What does it do? What operating system? A little more info for us who are concerned about installing. Could a developer confirm that this is okay?

(Please bug_fixer, not trying to offend you, I am so grateful if this works, just need to make sure that it doesn't break something because I use win 7 64bit proffessional and it tends not to play well with others ) <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

There is another thread on this somewhere in bug section. You are not alone.

Has happened to me every other day since i installed.

Seriously.Page has everything you need to build board game

I'm busy building one. Works great and construct is fantastic. You can use construct for free to learn, try out. The real hinderance for free version is 100 events. My Boardgame is currently under a 100, it was a lot more (I brought license), but I optimized so now it is under a 100 again. But I am not finished yet so expect it to go up again. But 100 events is enough to give you a true perspective.

Lots of plugins for board games too. (movement type stuff)

Very cool software -having loads of fun with it.

link works - just downloaded it now.

Edit: Wow, just what I wanted - super cool thank you

I just added a damage sprite, so damage goes <- and covers the health. Using health sprite width will just shrink it. You need to cover it with something to make it appear like it is decreasing.

Very raw, but you get the idea see below.

Your best bet is to publish games via your own website. You can get a cheap bluehost setup and install wordpress. Put your games in there and make the website private and give out password to friends and family. They can then browse website via ipad, phone, desktop web browser and access your creations.

That is the easiest option, unless someone can come up with something else?

Multiplayer links I found useful:

One:

gamedev.tutsplus.com/tutorials/from-scratch/construct-2-bombing-chap-multiplayer-menus

Look at the whole series - very nice example.

Two:

berryijmker.com/how-to-create-a-pokemon-battle-system-in-construct-2-html5-part-2

Nice simple Example player turns or AI

Three:

scirra.com/forum/tirahan-turnbased-strategy-game-for-2-players_topic59733.html

All are basic, but that is all you going to get in terms of examples as C2 can't handle anything too advanced. Simple turn based games type deal.

DUTOIT

but I must say I'm really happy with the purchase.

Don't get me wrong - I am happy with C2, my issue is that I work on multiple monitors, so an instance of "mygame version1" on monitor one, and "mygame version2" on monitor 2 is what multiple instances are all about.<img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I also dislike going through steam, specially after i got game maker studio. So i didn't get it and am waiting for a sale here, directly from scirra instead.

I got mine via steam, and to be honest, I should have just brought it here. Steam is not geared towards applications.

I knew about steam not being able to open multiple instances of c2.

I knew about the file association glitch.

I figured for the discount price I could semi tolerate it until it was fixed.

BUT, it just isn't worth it - period. Gonna, try to make $5000 from this steam version so that I can buy the business version here.

I have fallen in love with dictionaries. Especially now that I can load an external json file into it. I can then save project and edit the external file because editing via c2 is a pain in the *ss - lol.
