Step 3: profit!
Been happening to me for a couple of releases, but the torrents work just fine
I'm not getting it anymore. It appeared once, I closed it, and never saw it again
It's currently impossible with only one text object. I would love this feature too
I have a health bar example on the arcade, it might help you http://www.scirra.com/arcade/example/5456/circular-life-bar-example (remember you can download the .capx)
C2 crashed on me and I lost a bunch of progress (it's like it knows when I forget to save)
Wished we had more than just a week :/ Good luck to those who finished, I'll try to finish mine later
Can you create a countdown with the correct time? I don't want to miss it
Example: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20130923T2359&p0=12 (create one here)
if i resize to 40x40 in c2, is it wasting memory or does c2 actually only use the resized smaller graphic?
Yes, construct will load the full-res image to memory. You don't need to make a sprite 1000x1000 if the end sprite will be resized to 40x40. Just make sure it is at least as big as size you want in game.
