Hi,

I'm making a project using a large single JPEG for the backdrop. I've added it to my layout as a tiled background even though I'm effectively only using it as one big tile. Is this inefficient? Is there a better way?

For panning around the layout I've made one big invisible window-sized sprite. It works fine, but again I'm concerned it may be resource hungry.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi,

I'm pretty new to C2 and have to do a project involving a large backdrop with many small images which should react when rolled over or clicked upon. I'd love a few pointers.

If I want to scroll around the background should I make it one large tile covering the complete layout or make it a sprite. How would I move the camera around?

As I roll over & click on objects (I guess each will be a different sprite) I'll need to either bring up a text box, link to another screen (with a back button) or activate a web link.

Any links to tutorials to help me do all this will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Martin

Thanks - I think I've worked it out. I had 8 directional movement AND platformer movement and hadn't replicated both via touch.

I think the sound issue was that I only had ogg. When I convert to wav and re-import, Construct2 converts to different formats and this makes the sound work.

BTW - I used to dream of a 16k RAM pack for my ZX81 - never got one, so never had probs with wobble :)

Hi,

where do I find the included sounds, music, sprites etc?

Hi,

I'm quite pleased with myself for creating my first (very basic!) game:Crazy Parkour Dude

I have two problems when trying to play on mobile devices - either on Scirra Arcade or on LAN preview:

1) No sound on iOS (after a slight delay the sound works on Android)

2) The touch controls work, but not the same as keyboard controls - my character doesn't move or jump as much as he does on the PC. This makes the game unplayable.

I'm running the latest Construct2 2 on Windows 8.1 with ogg sound file. My iPad is a new mini with retina display I also tried on iPhone 4 and Motorola Xoom. I've tried Chrome & Safari - both have the same issues.

I can post screenshots of events & more info if required. I'll be very grateful for any help.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi,

I'm new to C2, but love what I've seen so far. I teach a couple of coding clubs and hope to get the kids to make their own games on the school's Windows / IE machines so I can then take the files and publish as iOS.

Before I purchase:

1) Is this possible?

2) Can you point me to the best tutorial for making / publishing my first iOS project?

3) Can I do this with the kids on free edition and my PC running Personal Edition?

Cheers,

Martin
