  • Hi, I'm making a 1942 clone and I need to randomize two tiles, fill the whole screen with them, and then make a vertical scrolling.

    Shouldn't be too hard, right?

    I could use the Vertical Shooter example but it only uses one "tile" and placement is random.

    --- Specific data ---

    Let's assume each tile is 32 x 32 pixels and I need to fill a 480 x 640 screen size.

    Honestly I can't imagine how to make them spawn both randomly across the screen.

    Maybe I can fill the screen with one, then randomly place the other on top? That would be more resource intensive, I think.

    And then the scrolling, which I have also no idea how to make it work, since the example is a bit different from what I want to make.

  • Thank you! It seems that I barely missed anything =)

  • For small games, use Post it notes. It just works.

    Starting from complex games, yeah, GDDs are the way to go.

  • Personally, it's no better than Construct 2 though it might be a bit more stable due to being non-HTML5.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Get me a 33% sale this year (or a 40%!) and you have a sale, right here, right now.

  • I need to make a simple smoke to go out of my plane's motors.

    No idea what I'm doing wrong:

    • I created a Particle object
    • Added a small image to it
    • Created an event: When OBJECT is moving (8 Direction Behaviour) THEN Spawn Particle
    • Particles never disappear!
    • Also, my particles go out in zero degrees but I set 90 on Propierties

    All this should be pretty basic, but no idea why it doesn't work.

  • I'll try my best. It's driving me nuts, I hope it works...

  • Excellent, thanks!

  • Ashley So, this Canvas or WebGL Text Shadow thing is the same as the CSS propierty Text Shadow?

    w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-shadow.asp

    Currenty I'm duplicating the Web Font, and moving it a couple pixels, then using Z-Order.

    Could be so much easier with a Text Shadow action... though I don't know if it's doable.

    Just to be sure, how do I "introduce a second or two delay to give the fonts a chance to load"?

    Like this?: In Start of Layout > Wait 2.0 seconds

  • Will research a bit how to compensate, though the engine should be "aware" of that.

    Thanks!

  • I'm guessing you can use x360ce emulator to simulate Xinput.

    Did someone tried? I'm guessing (again) that you might have to put it inside your browser's .exe directory.
