I just uploaded another game to Google Play, but THIS time I had the sense to copy all the images sizes that Play requires when you upload a game.

Image Sizes

Tablet

C3/mobile app

Can information be introduced into an app without having to update the app via Google Play?

I have an acquaintance who owns a Donut Truck. He wants to combine a Mobile Game with a "Where He Is Located Today" app.

So his app will be a game, BUT he wants the app to tell his customers where his truck will be on that day. And he never knows where he's going to be until he gets there at 4am. (He's always competing with other trucks)

I've sorted the game, but how do I get the address of where the truck is on that specific day to show up in the app.

I was thinking something like putting the address into a Google Doc and telling the game that on start up pull the address from the Google Doc, but that seems easily hackable.

I am great with WordPress and could put a link into the app, but I'd like to do pushed notifications later and that wouldn't work.

Thoughts?

I added a new template for newbies - it's very Basic Homepage, Multi-Level Menu w/ local storage & Game layout template. (When the player wins, the menu advances to the next level.)

Also included function and variable sheets so newbies can see how the backend of games can be organized.

It's also great if you're just trying to work out an issue or a new feature for your current game.

Link - Basic Game Template with Home Screen, Basic Menu, Local Storage, Win & Lose Scenarios C3

I don't get it. By the comments here you'd think the entire program was down instead of one feature.

Yeah, I need to update an .aab, and yeah, it's inconvenient that we can't do that right now, but that's the only thing we can't do.

We can still build games. We can still test games.

It's not like C3 is the only generator that has ever had an issue from time to time. Go somewhere else. You'll have issues there also.

Maybe it's because I'm a woman and I'm just used to putting up with crap, but considering the alternatives out there, I'll wait a few days to update my .aab.

C3/Mobile

I've been playing with the Rocket Barrel Template for a couple of hours. It looks fun, but tipping the phone forward in portrait isn't ideal because the player can't see the screen - it would make more sense in landscape, but I can't figure out what to edit to get it in landscape.

It would be a great 1920 x 1080 game.

Anyone know what to change? I keep getting close, but not exactly.

Thanks.

C3/HTML games

I know I can add the code myself after I download the html files from C3, but editing the html every time I update the game is a pain. I can update a game 3 or 4 times a week. That means every time I download the game I need to edit the html before I ftp it to my server.

I'm not experienced enough to put the code in a file in C3, I'm just not that talented yet. Is there a demo for that maybe? I can't find one online, but maybe I'm missing it.

Thanks

bigcatrik,

Thank you for your reply.

It would be perfect for one of those rolling ball games if they hadn't used the mouse movement behavior, it's a waste of demo. It's to bad it can't easily be converted. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

Thanks again.

C3

I was looking over the new 3D demos, they're all amazing, but one has this weird quirk - 3D First-Person Platformer, the player sprite doesn't look in the direction the sprite is moving.

After looking at the event sheet it looks like the mouse (??) controls the direction the player sprite is looking - which seems odd. That would mean the player has to constantly go from the keyboard to the mouse then back to the keyboard - that's not ideal. The player sprite can be moving west, but looking north.

I tried messing with a little, but I'm new to 3D and I seem to be making it much worse.

Is there away to remove the mouse controls and get the player sprite to look in the direction it's moving automatically?
