Annnnd we are down again. Tom same error as before:

Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.tblTrackerVisitUrls'.'PK_tblTrackerVisitUrls' in database 'Scirra' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

Stack Trace:

I signed up and started, but then my idea evolved and became something much to large to submit in a month or meet the "1 hour of game play" req.

You are speaking about the original. The version available in the arcade is made with construct 2. If you follow the links the dev posted you will see that they say it is a clone.

It's great that this community helps each other. Keep up the great work all!

I have seen this as well, but if you were to click on the link that says 13mb it will give you a download that is 34.2mb in size. Probably just a link description that was never updated.

Seems the issue has been resolved for now

Excellent. Thank you.

I am currently using the every tick method set forth in Ashley tutorial. I just wanted to make sure I am getting every drop of performance out of this thing as I can.

I have been reading through the tutorials and I see to main platformer tutorials:

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/243/bu ... ide/page-1

and

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/253/ho ... ame/page-1

The first one uses the following method for creating the player image on top of the player block:

Condition: System -> On start of layout

Action: PlayerImages -> Pin: Pin to PlayerBox

While the second uses this method:

Condition: System -> Every Tick

Action: Player -> Set position to PlayerBox

My question is which is the better method? I assume (complete assumption, no data to back this up) that the every tick method will consume more memory.

Construct 2 also comes with many templates and examples that should help. As stated above, there are tutorials on youtube and if you feel like paying for it I know udemy has some.

Usually Bastion OST or Transistor OST. Beyond that, anything down tempo like Trifonic or even Explosions In The Sky.

Since you have already been messing with the free version I don't have to tell you that it is well worth the purchase. This community needs more active members so welcome!
