  • Is this something that the "append text" feature might solve?

    Yeah, you can do that. Just append it, or this is probably neater and more functional...

    Create an instance variable called state

    And set instance variable to either "On"or "Off"

    And set text to "Bonus Chest: " & state

  • looks great

  • You need to search for 2d architectural furniture

    Architects actually have tons of assets they use in there fly throughs. Autocad, revit etc

    You can get cd's of the stuff for example

    Edit: game looking fantastic.

    Schedule SyncToy to Run Automatically With Task Scheduler in Windows 7.

    I have various syncing, but for C2, I have my projects folder one drive C:\ and I save backups to drive F:\ , then synctoy is set to run twice per day(my setting) and it syncs both folders files to my dropbox and copy folders. Once those files appear there then they do there job.

    I set the sync over lunch time, and at end of day.

  • Download beta relase r176 here

    How you planning on storing this data?

    Here is attached a small demo I did a year ago - lol. Its very messy... but might help - shrugs

    Edit: Oh, wow, this demo was long ago - ha ha, anyways, if you touch the text at bottom it checks if shield is in the array... returns -1 if it isn't in array...meaning if the option is select/on then it returns numbers, else -1. I was playing around with various ways back then. The shield check is hard coded on line 7

  • also looking for advertising solution with crosswalk. my client has just pulled the plug on leadbolt for same reasons.

  • I got this error lots and lots. I still get it periodically especially when a program sneaks into my startup list and does automatic updates...

    Basically what it is, is a program is trying to access the internet and connect to server usually for updates (antivirus, etc) and of course an issue occurs and it bombs out.

    I don't know why the minimize triggers the issue, perhaps the pc thinks this is a good time to update program xyz and then when you maximize it goes funky.

    You can do a few things... or at least this is what helped me.

    If you are able to get into task manager ctrl+alt+del (I know it isn't always the case) then go into processes and select the 'Server Busy' program, right-click and select 'Go to Process'. This should tell you what program is causing the error. Either edit or uninstall the program. You can also select "server busy" and end process - saves you a reboot.

    I eventually untick any unecessary programs from running on startup. CCleaner has a little section for this. I just slowly disabled them one by one, leaving only those I required / needed.

    Use Alt+Tab to cycle through open windows - It helps, and makes you're pc function like a mac (just kidding).

  • DUTOIT , yeah sorry for flaming you over pm, I became defensive because I thought you want to report me & kick me out of Scirra

    No Problem.

    Don't limit yourself to game development.

    Apps, software, even websites development will aid you well.

    Any firm that does any sort of coding, preferably anything html5, and any or all the C's. Anything with code and heck, even graphics / design.

    Many aspects to game developer, even tax, accountant, management. Boring stuff, but all vital.

    Age is an issue for you, or it can be an opportunity. Its up to you to decide.

  • THE BAD NEWS.

    A CV won't help you. A portfolio will be 1000 x more of a benefit.

    A CV is usually at min 5 full pages which gives the reader everything they need to make a decision if you are the ideal candidate. Unfortunately yours tell people to stay away. Your age is going to be a problem. Your young mindset etc shines through, etc etc...

    BUT... this can be changed to a WIN.

    I've told you before... you have a unbelievable drive, a passion, a sense of purpose. Your goal/objective is NOT "Developing a successful game, and show people &

    developers my skills." WRONG!, NO!

    YOUR GOAL/OBJECTIVE: Is to LEARN. Be Molded. Be lead. Be Apprenticed. Nobody is going to pay you a monthly paycheck, to many rules/laws against child labour. BUT, everyone loves a passionate youth, who is willing to learn. Your goal is to attract a sponsor, get an apprenticeship type deal.

    And how to do this is to showcase your skills. Use C2 to make a portfolio. (Show them YOU, don't make a game, make a walkthru into your life. Your dreams, Your current Possion. They look at games all the time, show them something different. You want their hearts, not their wallets, but of course use game mechanics to showcase you, your life, you passion. Link to your games (open in new tab) etc.

    And host this app on your own website (you need to spend $10 to get your own domain - I would have brought it for you, but after you flamed me on pm.... well lets say... I still have hope for you which is why I am still trying to help you, but after your childish outburst, you have fallen a few notches down and will take time to build up.

    But your goal. Your goal is to Be Educatable, Inspirational, Driven. You WANT, education, you want apprenticeship (they include you on their team, so you can add some big projects to your portfolio).

    Oh, you want brick/mortar offices. You want to spend afternoon after school at a real business. So find small companies in your area. India is code central - lol. You want to observe a business being run... you want to see a project from beginning to end.

    Your mom and dad will feed you, clothe you, etc. You don't need money - yet.

    Edit: I didn't edit the above, so I hope it reads okay, I just spewed it out, rather than made it readable. Bottom line. People love kids that have passion/drive etc.

    Oh thats a shame

    Remember they are still beta phases, which means lots of room for improvement. Chrome is the worst currently, but they are late to the party.

  • I've seen zero performance increase, and a lot more bugs/crashes/issues.

  • The comics highlight a point as Arima said. [Arima I understand, and I shouldn't have posted it out of sarcasm]

    ...And it was perhaps poor taste on my behalf, but I felt it necessary as I could not find anything that could warrant or justify this line "exposure to a world wide extensive audience"

    I googled, I searched, I did a back history, I even tried to find a legal entity and are you paid up in taxes.

    So, after a little searching, I think you and I can both agree that those comics highlighted my point precisely - I have a whole folder more to throw at you too.

    Lesson or take away. If you want to present a serious opportunity. Be a serious opportunity. Which you are not, and that is okay(we all start somewhere), just don't pretend to be something you are not.

  • I would imagine a custom plugin, or you need to edit c2 source.

  • Try Construct 3

    Thanks , i didn't know that. Have any idea if it works with crosswalk?.

    I haven't tested, but crosswalk uses google chrome mobile browser, so it should work. Easy enough to test, just export a multiplayer demo using android, and follow the crosswalk tutorial.

    EDIT: Yip it works. Chrome for android just released update today as well which fixes a lot of issues. Connection issue chrome to chrome, but firefox to chrome android worked flawlessly. I suspect a update for chrome pc is coming to sort issues.
