  Dude, that's awesome, you're one of the people they're talking about on the news now! It's kind of famous... indirectly... well, I guess a third the planet will have it soon enough anyway...

  .cap files grow pretty big with its uncompressed .png sprites

  PNG is a compressed format!

  [quote:2j4lu0d4]Less size of .exe file, if that Actually gives any ram or speed boost.

  It won't save RAM and it won't run faster. I'm not convinced it'll even change the load time because there is the same amount of work to do, just the data is in different files. To be honest, I wouldn't bother.

  Runs pretty slow on my laptop with ATI Radeon mobility HD 3470. I can't see what would be slowing it down so much though. Are you using blurs a lot? They're the slowest shader.

  If there's only one of each object, then containers are the way to go. Otherwise, you can store the UID of one of the objects in another's private variable, and when destroying it, also destroy the other object with that UID in its private variable.

  Isn't that a bug? It shouldn't trigger on start of layout, and what are the other inappropriate times? Can you post a .cap?

  That's odd. The APPBLOCK thing means no data was attached to the runtime EXE, so it's a blank EXE. No idea why that would happen. Doesn't seem to prevent functionality, though.

  I use families all the time and have never had this problem, so assuming it's a one-off, using families should be fine.

  Hmm... davo, I think you need to look in to what the bone movement is actually doing and why it reduces performance so much... no need to fold proteins in between slightly changing angles and positions!

  I can't reproduce that... stays about the same as I said - anyone else got results?

  I'm not sure it's the bone behavior, because if I remove it, the framerate hardly changes

  SourceForge seem to have just added a "review project" feature, which you can find on the project page on the right:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/construct/

  I thought it might be cool to have a few reviews of Construct up there, especially since they're currently counting the votes for the Community Choice Awards

  Construct isn't C You can use a 'set to <value + 1>' type action, or just use the 'add' action for private/global variables.
