  • I guess there's no right and no wrong ways to do things, just good and bad ways. You may achieve something you think is OK with a method but then there's methods that will be simpler to use, faster to process and produce better result....

    This is something every C2 newbie have to go through, no matter their history of other kinds of programming.

  • eli0s love your example!

  • Redownload the contruct install file.

    We can at least say it is not a virus.

    The only ways are either false positive OR that your system already have virus that Panda did not catch (or is corrupted itself) and have infected the files.

    You could run one of more of the scan on demand from online, of course from reliable source.

  • Keep it coming, I love to see amazing lovely things.

  • Also, if you have more colors in the picture but the other colors are constant, or for different approach, you can make two objects. The first with the static colors, such as black border, shades etc and use transparency, making the color field transparent plus of course the field outside too if you want. And then you add another object aligned exactly under that first one, and on that one you have the color you want and on THAT object you can either use adjust HSL Effect or Replace Color.

  • Try Construct 3

  • If the colors you want are simple and you do not have more than one color in the picture (color family, that is like blue, light blue, dark blue but still blue) other than black and white, then you can:

    Add the Effect Adjust HSL to the sprite you want to use.

    And then in the events, maybe at load layout, you can set the effect parameter to the parameters. Index zero is Hue, and this changes the COLOR. index 1 is saturation, adjust the saturation, that is, max = strong vibrant color, lower = more grey added. index Two changes the BRIGHTNESS, max = white, lower = black. Play with these 3 values to change colors.

    You can "preview" by doing same thing in your photo editor, choose adjust hue/saturation/brightness.. So you know roughly which values you should enter.

    Note, you have to have some color in the field to begin with, this will not work with a entirely black&white picture. Start with like red and from there you can work your way. if you want solid white and solid black you might want to have separate graphic for these.

    Then there's other Effects to use, play around.

  • eli0s, I love your sample! <3

  • Grinding.

    Pointless games like the Facebook games such as FarmVille etc where you basically want everything, but aren't able to complete in time without having to pay..

    Long moments breakscreens.... Going from one point to another in a large world and back for a mall thing....

  • The good (??) old 90s... I was so impressed but then I got frustrated by the limited format. I wanted to do scrolling games... Haha

  • It would be great addition and speed up time, and also for newcomers.

    I remember when I used Klik&Play and they had similar thing.

    But then it is all up to Ashley. I am jusk thankful he's churning out updates so often!

  • SecondDimension, I love the graphics of your game. I am deaf so I can't say anything about the audio part.

    I have finished your game now. I just have one severe bug I want to tell you about, when entering one of the tunnels while being rabbit, I managed to muck the control (click too much) that the rabbit ended being outside the path and totally unmoveable. Had to restart the game then. Maybe add in event to check if the rabbit is outside the pathway, reset the player to the pathway.

  • Exactly. And in my case I use it for different graphic themes.. maybe for different levels or for choosing your favorite theme. so I differentate them by numbers.

    Like set global variable GraphicSetting to 2 for the second theme

    and then set the animation name in events like this:

    GraphicSetting & "walk"

    Can be used for so many different things. This is why I do not want to see it blocked out by forcing to choose proper animation names. BUT as I said earlier, some kind of "guideline" could be nice, showing you the list of the names that is there so you can use that as basis.
