  • Oh, I see it now, thanks!

  • Could be anything - collisions disabled, event not getting executed (because it's part of some other triggered event for example), or maybe there are other events that override or stop playback of this audio.

    Could you share your project file?

  • Save slots are for saving the entire game. In your case you need to use Local Storage.

    When a new item is unlocked, add its code (or ID or name) to an array (or dictionary) "UnlockedItems", and save it to local storage.

    On start of the game, retrieve this array from local storage.

    .

    Here is a demo I made for some other post:

  • Lancifer I still see "0 comments" in my profile, and there is no "Posts" link anywhere..

  • Have you read this tutorial?

    scirra.com/tutorials/73/supporting-multiple-screen-sizes

    Also, try changing "Unbounded scrolling" in layout properties.

  • Using "Wait" like this is a bad idea. Timer is a much better option, but you still need to keep pending achievement IDs somewhere.

    .

    You can try a different approach - create an array or dictionary named PendingAchievements.

    When a new achievement is unlocked, add it to this array.

    Every 1 second or so check this array, if it's not empty and AchDisplay=false, display first achievement from the array and remove it.

  • Thank you, I would be honored!

  • Hey, no problem! :)

  • You don't need to use containers, they just make life easier :)

    And yes, you should only add objects that live and die together. So that wearable sprite should not be in the container.

    One container can hold only one instance of each object. So you can't add CarBody and 4x instances of CarWheel into the container, it will not work.

    Very common example is to add an enemy sprite and health bar to the same container. You don't need to worry about creating/destroying the health bar, nor about picking it. You can make simple events like On bullet hit enemy -> Enemy subtract 5 from health, HealthBar set width to Enemy.Health (this enemy's HealthBar will be picked automatically)

  • Try opening browser console (F12), maybe you'll see the error message there.

  • There may be a better way to do this, but the search on the forum is broken, so I came up with this:

    dropbox.com/s/lbewjvv6rekd2na/IsometricForest.capx

  • So you have one Question sprite with animations A,B,C,D etc.

    And many Answer sprites also with animations A,B,C,D etc.

    When you spawn Answer sprites, you set random animation and random frame like this: 

    Answer set animation to Choose("A", "B", "C", "D"...)
Answer set frame to int(random(self.AnimationFrameCount))

    .

    Then when player clicks on the answer you check if animations match: 

    Mouse On Click on Answer
 System Compare two values: Answer.AnimationName=Question.AnimationName

    If they match then the answer is correct.

    Collision checks are not performed if there are no events or behaviors that require them, so you don't need to disable collisions for all sprites.

    Say, if you place a hundred of sprites on the layout and run the project in debug mode, you'll see that the number of collision checks per second is zero.

  • Tom, Thanks for restoring the links in old posts!

    I don't know if you aware of this problem (please ignore if you are), but most links to the old scirra forum get redirected to an empty page, for example see links in these posts:

  • Try not to use any effects. Most effects are very slow on mobile..

    A simple effect (like "Set color") applied to a couple of small sprites can cause about 20% drop in performance.
