EXACTLY.

and C2 will stay Awesome for its amazing editor, the best editor I've worked on ever.

Can you please mention 1 single professional game made in C2? just one

do you know why ? Because of what i already said in my reply.

Check games made in Unity and compare it'll be fun to do.

and I'm still saying C2 is Awesome (to play with) in your spare time and have fun with it, not for real serious game production.

C2 is just about 1 step close to be perfect, and this step requires REBUILDING it from scratch and include its OWN native exporter, without this it'll stay USELESS.

Thanks for your great advice, i already switched to Unity and I'm learning it now, in case you don't know it is a cross-platform game engine. YEAH

I've no time to develop my own game engine right now, but I'll do soon, and I'll let you know when it's ready.

Thanks and have a nice time with 3rd party issues.

Most criticisms people raise of platforms like Crosswalk are simply temporary bugs. They'll get fixed. Native platforms have bugs too, and they usually end up fixed as well. Everyone was crying for us to develop a new desktop exporter when NW.js had a v-sync bug. As far as I can tell, it's now fixed, and I haven't seen any other demands for a native desktop exporter since. I knew it would be fixed and I tried to explain this, but people demanded native exporters anyway. It would be crazy if we started this massive engineering project just because of a temporary bug. In the space of a year or however long it would take, any temporary issues would almost certainly be fixed. And given how fast HTML5 has developed - from no mobile support at all just a few years ago - it seems unwise to bet against this.

No, this is completely wrong.

Not just temporary bugs, starting this "massive engineering project" is a must if you want C2 to stand for the next year.

The problem is not related to bugs, playing HTML game inside a web browser on android system is a very big waste of CPU power and battery life, at the end the games performance is horrible.

Flappy bird clone game consumes about 70% of CPU power and makes the mobile device suffers a lot, APK size about 23 mb just for a very simple game! and runs at 35 fps ! WHY ?!!

such a game must be 2 or 3 mb maximum, consumes about 10% of CPU power and runs at 60 fps on most mobile devices.

Scirra must work on a native exporter, C2 must allow us to create more advanced games on mobile devices, i can't make 2 sprites to move smoothly on mobile device with C2 regards any optimizations to both code and images.

I'm not saying that to open fire on C2, i LOVE C2, and i LOVE making games using C2, and i tried every single program avaliable and i didn't find a single one can replace C2 even Fusion 2.5

I appreciate all your efforts making C2 an AWESOME software and it is really awesome. except for the mobile export options.

in my country we have a Proverb says: "He ruined the whole dish by 1 penny salt!"

explanation: when someone makes a perfect thing and ruined it completely by a very tiny mistake at the end. the cook is ruined because of some little salt that makes it uneatable!

Thanks

Construct 2 is a very powerful software for web and pc games, it's also very easy to learn and use, and you can save hours and hours compared with other programs. i finished my 1st complete game in just 2 days!

But it's the worst choice for mobile, the worst ever!

set x to (2*t^3-3*t^2+1)*p(n).x + (t^3-2*t^2+t)*(p(n+1).x-p(n-1).x)/2 + (-2*t^3+3*t^2)*p(n+1).x + (t^3-t^2)*(p(n+2).x-p(n).x)/2

set Y to (2*t^3-3*t^2+1)*p(n).y + (t^3-2*t^2+t)*(p(n+1).y-p(n-1).y)/2 + (-2*t^3+3*t^2)*p(n+1).y + (t^3-t^2)*(p(n+2).y-p(n).y)/2

it must be written by Albert Einstein !

I just tested Ludei CocoonJs compiler (canvas+), using the updated CocoonJs plugin for C2 r195

Here is my Results:

Image quality: not perfect but there is no artifacts, the images aren't super crisp like crosswalk but just fine, as if it is ignoring High dpi settings in C2.

fps: 60 yes believe it or not, 60 fps and very smooth, sometimes fps dropped to 35 and cause a little lag but the game is very playable.

apk size : 11 mb Vs 22 mb using crosswalk.

unfortunately no ads, no leaderboards or achievements or may be i just can't configure it.

is there any way to use admob ads directly without mopub account with Ludie ?

anyway i just want to confirm that my game is OK and optimized to show a good performance. it can reach 60 fps with Ludie but i can't use many features, only "vibration" is working fine

BTW I'm just looking for 40 fps, it'll be enough for games to be playable , and i can't even get this without crosswalk 7, according to those results the future is DARK, No, totally BLACK with no hope, Xwalk 10,11,12 ---- > stop "downgrading" please they are all useless.

szymek

That's exactly what makes me mad. this issue MUST be FIXED somehow ASAP or C2 will be totally useless.

after all those tests I'm waiting for results very soon from Intel and Crosswalk

or C2 MUST provide native exporter or even replace the whole software with a new one makes NATIVE android and ios.

szymek

Your test device came with useless results because it's very powerful, it can run anything and you will NEVER feel a difference in fps. as if you run the game on a PC, please try something else, s3 , s4 , etc

Test results on Galaxy s3 mini

Crosswalk 7 (canvas 2d)

Min = 52 | Max = 59 | avg= 56.9 (AMAZING!)

Crosswalk 10 (canvas 2d)

Min= 34 | Max = 40 | avg = 36 (poor - too much lag)

Crosswalk 11 (canvas 2d)

Min= 36 | Max= 42 | Avg= 38 (poor - lag)

Crosswalk 12 (canvas 2d)

Min= 19 | Max= 24 | Avg = 22 (****! and totally unplayable)

This is it.

Ok, thanks

i thought it's a demo played automatically for 20 secs

I'll come back with test results
