    I have just compiled the game I made using Ejecta. All is working well and performance is awesome especially on the iPhone 5 :)

    I do have some questions, hopefully you can help me out.

    1. Do you suffer from any performance loss each time you exit to iOS main menu and back again into your game? (without quitting the game itself). For mine I noticed it wasn't as smooth as when I first launch the game.

    2. How do you go about fixing the different screen ratio sizes between iPhone 4/4s and 5? I created my game with iPhone 5 in mind, so when I tried it on the iphone 4 it scaled with black bars on the side.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi guys,

    I'm always lurking around the forums asking for help. This time I would like to return the favor. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

    I wrote a tutorial on how to upload and host your HTML5 games on Kongregate. Unfortunately at the time of writing I couldn't upload any images to help explain the tutorial better.

    Every time I tried uploading an image, I keep getting "Server Error in '/'". Could you please check it? Thanks!

    If you have any questions regarding, feel free to let me know.

    That would be awesome :) Will be sending you a PM soon with the screenshot

  • lukedirago

    seems like the problem is from my hosting.

    pictures upload

    Are you using your own hosting or dropbox? Or did you figure out how to upload directly to Kongregate since they allow uploads for HTML5 games (fingers cross on the last part :P).

  • lukedirago

    Ah thanks. I didn't know that.

    I tried using your methods but it's still showing Guest instead of Kongregate username. Double check to make sure I changed the url to the one you had provided but no luck :(

    Are you using Construct 2 R139 or the latest beta?

    Edit: After I left my game idle for a short while, it showed that I was disconnected from Kongregate server and trying to reconnect, to which it never did.

  • Got it. Will check it out :)

  • I will give it a try again, it wasn't working for me for some reason.

    Btw awesome game :) the pixelated effect confused me at first. I keep thinking whether my eyes were going blur or something haha.

    Edit: May I ask 2 things?

    1. how did you get the username to show on your main menu? Can't seem to find anything from the Kongregate plugin to show that.

    2. how did you submit the score? Was it just "Submit statistic when game ends" or you used "On Login" > "submit statistic when game ends"?

    Thanks in advance :)

  • If there's C2 on the Mac I would drop my windows laptop in a beat :P

    Mainly because I'm also doing iOS development at the same time so having just to use one laptop for everything would be awesome.

    Unfortunately I don't have enough space on my macbook to install windows 7 bootcamp so that's out of the question.

    All things aside, I would prefer the team to focus on making C2 even more awesome on one platform rather than going multi-platform with mediocre results :)

  • Hi Windwalker,

    I'm still a bit confused. Could you make an example?

    Thanks in advance :)

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hi lukedirago

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Did you export it as Kongregate and then change the js url?

  • Hi Guys,

    I can't seem to figure out why my object keep going missing during runtime.

    In my sample below, my Player object will just disappear after a short while. No other objects or events are triggering it.

    If I were to guess, the cause might be how I "loop" the ground image but still doesn't make sense.

    Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

    That issue has been giving me tons of headache

  • Hi guys,

    I tried playing my game on Mac OS X Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) but the moment my main menu loads, Safari crashes.

    From the crash report, only this area makes sense;

    Crashed Thread: 15 Audio Decoder

    Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000bbadbeef

    Anyone else having problems running their game on Safari? I tried other HTML5 games on the web and they all worked fine.

  • Hi Guys,

    For those who have uploaded their game to Kongregate, do they have any problems submitting highscores to Kongregate server?

    For some odd reason my game isn't sending any data, both FireFox and Chrome. Previously only FireFox worked.

    I tried both methods; exporting as Kongregate and also followed this tutorial by CanGame (https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/597/kongregate-highscores-achievements).

    Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.

  • No need to use an array just use two for loops. In fact the array wouldn't help in the case of the triangle.

    For a 3x3 square whose top left is at x,y do this:

    Global number x=100

    Global number y=30

    Start of layout

    For "row" from 0 to 2

    For "col" from 0 to 2

    --- create sprite at 32*loopindex("col")+x, 32*loopindex("row")+y

    And for a triangle do this:

    Start of layout

    For "row" from 0 to 2

    For "col" from 0 to loopindex("row")

    --- create sprite at 32*loopindex("col")+x, 32*loopindex("row")+y

    Thanks! Will try it out.
