  • CAPURTLE was going to be a real physical boardgame but it seems to work quite well in this two-player HTML5 version.

    Game is here... ishoo.co.uk/CapurtleTwo

    Any critique welcome. :-)

  • Problem solved. I should have been using "On start of layout" not "On load complete".

  • Thanks calminthenight. I opened the debugger and saw that for Island1 "Is pinned" was FALSE.

    I added a new event as follows...

    Now, "Is pinned" is FALSE until I left-click the mouse, then it becomes TRUE and Island1 moves with the background as expected.

    Perhaps the condition "On load complete" is a little more tricky than it first seems...

  • When I right-click, the background moves as expected but Island1 remains stationary in the viewport. I thought pinning the object instance to the background would fix it to the background.

    I think I have misunderstood something again. Can anyone help?

  • I tried to publish my game to the arcade but when I tried to upload the .zip file, it said the root directory of the zip file was missing the "arcade.json" file. Well, that's true. There is no arcade.json file in the root folder.

    Does anyone know what this file does and how I can get one?

    Thanks, Jim

  • My ISP suggested that I needed to add a webdotconfig file to my website root directory to specify the mime type for my Windows server.

    After a bit of research I added this webdotconfig file...

    ...and now the game runs in Safari on Mac and iPad!

    Thanks, Jim

  • Thanks. There's nothing appropriate looking in my website control panel so I have contacted my ISP. I await their response...

  • Interestingly the file that throws a 404 does appear to be in the specified folder...

  • Is this what you meant?

  • My HTML5 project loads and runs just fine on the latest versions of Firefox, Edge and Chrome on Windows 10. It runs fine on Firefox on a mac.

    BUT, it won't run on Safari 14.0 on a Mac or on either of two iPads. It also won't run on Firefox on an iPad. The loading percentage counter goes up to 100% but then the screen just stays black.

    Does anyone know the likely problem? What should I check?

    Thanks in advance, Jim
