  Updates should always be included in releases and noted in the changelog - I might've missed this one though - so I'll try and get it in the next build

  Can you post a .cap showing this happening with just that event?

  David, could you investigate this? Strictly I think it should be treated as a bug because I don't think any plugins should have .NET dependencies at all.

  Thanks for the kind words and feedback everyone

  I think we can do better than Construct as it is now, though... the critics are right to say it's buggy and unfinished. I'm thinking plenty about Construct 2, I think we can do something serious with that when the time comes around...

  I guess they're bugs. Stick to playing OGG from file. Is there a tracker bug submitted for that?

  The only way this can happen is if you are using Z elevation, and you haven't enabled 3D layering for both layers in layer properties.

  It's because XAudio2 uses two separate audio engines for playing sounds on channels and for playing music.

  Sound on channels uses a hand-written OGG loader which decompresses the OGG file to an XAudio2 buffer and plays it.

  Music uses Window's built-in Directshow for playing audio - it has built-in MP3 support, but guess what, no OGG - unless you install a Directshow decoder for OGG, in which case XAudio2 can play OGGs as music too.

  Nice job there must be some hard math behind that!

  Try the Ghost Shooter tutorial at . It covers all these basics such as image points, private variables, etc.

  I thought it was up, down, left, right, A+START? Up C down C left C right C A+START for pros.

  Construct 2 will support unicode, but Construct 1 doesn't and most likely won't.

  Stolen pic from wikipedia:

  Basically, it generates a random number with that kind of distribution. mean = peak, sigma is proportional to the width of the bell shape, and numbers are more likely to be generated where the graph is higher. Note it goes off infinitely in either direction so in theory it could generate any number no matter the mean and sigma, but most of those values would be nigh on impossible. You can always clamp the output for a certain range.

  Uh, could you be a bit more descriptive in your posts? Why did you post this? You are aware Construct does not yet support Unicode?

  Triggers run and complete inside the function call.

  What do you mean by adding to an ExpStore? Why on earth would you want to do that? I'm almost certain you're thinking down the wrong lines. ExpStore is not meant to be modified, at all, period. You should stop trying to hijack the engine
