I had the same question!!

I am creating an Isometric game where the Level scrolls downwards, I create tiles at the top of the screen and destroy them when the exit the screen below. is

I have written all my game logic in a single Layout - Platform and background(environment) Scrolling , Collision detection, Enemy logic and other standard game events.

Now my question is, when the player reaches the End I want to load a new set of Tiles and Environment image (eg: from Desert -> Snow -> Jungle). What is the most efficient way to do this?

I read that C2 loads required images/objects only when the Layout is loaded. So how to I group my Tile images?

Can I create a common Platform Sprite and have each Level images grouped under various Animations?

Will C2 still load all the level images into Memory even if I am not calling the animation?

Or Do I have to create separate Sprite objects for each Level?

TheWyrm Thanks for pointing me to the new beta release!

Regarding the PubCenter, MS currently support AD SDK for HTML5/JS apps only on the Windows 8.1 Apps. Windows Phone 8.1 still has no Ad support if the project is made with HTML5/JS.

Here read this for detailed information:

Ashley, would it be possible to enable URL posting for people who have bought the Construct 2 license?? I bought C2 but still cant reach the 500 point requirement to post URL.

I think you should try Universal app as it has got better WebGL support and MS is continuously improving the 8.1 OS.

Inititally I had lot of issues with my game (sound not playing, game crashing)

I solved the crashing issue by using the "Audio - > Is Tag Playing" condition. I play a set of audio files only its its not already playing. I found that playing too many similar files at once causes the App to crash.

For No sound issue, try using a .WAV format instead of the .M4A format

alan349 I am developing an isometric game using Construct 2 and I can assure you jump is possible!

It all depends on how you visually show it.

Here is a screenshot of my game. As you can see I have used beautiful images too(thanks to my brother!), I intend to release this for Mobile.

The player can jump over obstacles

You should not use this plugin any more. Use our official universal exporter for WP8.1+. It should support all of those features. The HTML5 support is so far better with the WP8.1 update that it's probably not worth the extra hassle getting WP8.0 support.

Thank You Ashley for always taking time to respond to queries

This is one of the main reason that gave me the confidence to buy a Construct 2 license!!

Honestly I gave up on this Plugin and wanted to switch back to WP8.1+. The only reason I went back was because of the fact that WP8.1 has no option to show Ads, and the audio performance is still bad (We previously spoke about this in on the Bugs section )

From your experience(or hearing from other C2 developers) is it worth only having Ads on Windows 8.1 app and leaving the WP 8.1 app Ad less?

Also, can someone please write (or point to) a article on implementing IAP, handling Back Button , Suspend and other important features for 8.1?

Ashley looks like the author of this Plugin is not active on this forum anymore

Its sad that we have to depend on a Plugin to make our game work on WP8 and WP8.1. And its not even perfect, the game doesnt work on WP8 Emulators. Works fine on WP8.1 emulators! After exporting the App to my device, there is a constant clicking sound coming from the phone. The sound appears even when the Phone volume is set to zero.

Those thing apart, do you think you will be able integrate some of these features in Construct2 by default?

Features like,

1. Audio Performance improvements (i guess thehen uses Media Player)

2) IAP

3) Vibrate

4) Handling Windows Back button

It would be really great if we have some of this features built into C2. Exporting the Project should take care of the items that the plugin is doing.

I have bought the Personal License with dreams of making games, and all these issues are starting to scare me

Please help!

Thanks for the update part12studios! Ashley has raised a ticket with Microsoft regarding the HTML5/IE audio bug.

I was in the process of developing a Universal App too until I released there is no way to add Ads to a WP8.1 app!!! Now I am now converting the phone app to WP8. Do you think its worth the time? I used the Plugin developed by thehen

thehen, I currently only have VS2103. But I have exported the C2 project using Windows Phone 8.0 (VS2012) .

Will opening and running the on VS2013 cause any issues? When running on the Emulator the game doesnt go past the Loading screen. It freeze/stops at about 70%

I get this error message in teh Debugger:

'The thread 0xb10 has exited with code 259 (0x103)."

Edit 2: my Game works perfectly when I load it into my Device (Lumia 720.. WP8.1). Also loads properly on any WP 8.1 emulator.

The freezing happens whenever I select non WP8.1 emulator

Any chances of having something similar for Win Phone 8.1 Universal App??

I have teh same problem! I am surprised MS hasnt come up with a HTML5 based Ad support WInphone 8.1

Hey Valereds

The inablity to add Ads to HTML5 WinPhone projects has halted my game dev too! This is my first app and I was trying to built a universal Windows App hoping I will be able to add Ads on both Win8.1 platforms.

I am totally lost now. All this while I thought MS Advertising SDK had the option to add Ads to any type of project

But it only supports C#/XAML on phone projects

Did you find any alternatives? Do we have to depend on Win Phone 8 apps to generate Ads revenue and make a separate Windows 8.1 app? Need some advise from you guys.

Hi Ashley For now, I am planning to use the Microsoft Pub Center. I am very new to the world of Ads and my game on Construct 2 will be my very first App on Win8 Platform.

I have already reached the 100 event limit.. and planning to buy a license sometime this month. Thank you so much for being generous and allowing us to try all option. I have created 70% of my intended game using the Free version! And it already looks great

Will buy the license to complete rest of the planned features
