  • In a few less lines of code.

    pick_BHT.capx

    Oeehhh, hadnt noticed the sprite,pickedcount expression yet :o

    Thanks !!!

  • Seriously, with pick by evaluate ....

    web example

    capx

    I applied it as a 1 time even on layout start, but you can plan it anyway you like, timed events or trigger whatever.

    2 indicates dead units, dead units are black, living ones blue

    It runs the for each loop once, only picks the objects with value, addds numbers and sets animation frame depending on each spawned objects "dead" variable.

    I make them text strings noadays, defining yes or no, I ran into a few issues with booleans (have this in other languages too) and prefer to resort to strings or numbers.

    Anyway, hope you can adjust to fit your needs :)

  • Use pick by evaluating to find objects with certain expression, ie object.variable = "dead"

  • Try Construct 3

  • Ohw very nice game !!!!   I like the theme and play method :D

    I played two levels.

    I found that the window was a bit small, cant your run this in a 800x600 or even 1024x768 ?

    pointers:

    Great music tunes, though I though the volume of the machine gun was rather loud compared to the rest of the audio.

    Also, the effectiveness of the machine gun nearly rules out the need for them missles.

    I bought missles after level 1, great that a shop is available before hand, but I couldnt buy anything when i started :(   theres a shop, gimme some cash to buy anything ... something .. pls lol

    when using the mouse, clicking once fires two missles

    Perhaps make click right switch weapons for mouse users ? seeing as the plane follows the movement of the mouse :)

    At some point near end of level two, I was pondering when enemies would come, perhaps some indicator of enemies left.

    Great work :D

  • Wheres the working link then :)

    edit: ah, nevermind found it on the game page

  • Quickshot

    my first game, made it in the first week of use with construct 2 :D

    Web version of beattracker (free on web)

    Web version of Tact Clock

    Both apps can be found in the playstore and amazon.

  • No problem, I could do it in the breaks I have to take from Construct.

    By the way, having issues with Skype? Haven't seen you around.

    Haha, excellent :)

    On occassion I dont activate skype, I have lots of contacts and occassionallly find myself in hours long chats with various people.

    so i dont open it on occassion haha :P

  • Yes it is.

  • Scale letterbox will expose your 'outside layer elements' if the target device has a bigger/unfitting resolution then your project view resolution.

    Scale inner scales to fit to the smallest side, meaning you could end up having a part of your layout outside the users target devices viewport.

    Stretch to fill actually stretches your project view to adapt itself to fit in the target screen , taking on its ratio, often problematic for objects placed in a HUD.

    I set construct generally scale outer, and have about 20% of extra background around my viewport to fill empty spaces from resolution/aspect ratio differences.

    This way they will just see a bit of extra background and no black lines.

    This means it will scale the size of your project view until its widest size matches the width of the target device.

    This is as close to an easy solution I got for an approach of 1 fits all.

  • There is but little to no coding in Construct 2..

    The graphical user interface and compiling engine from construct 2 does that for you.

    After developing something you can choose to export it to a desired platform, where the actual code and scripts will be generated for you based on your development.

    You do however, will get to understand wat certain comon called functions/methods/expressions do, which are quite general to most modern programming languages.

    A good example being "for each".

  • Thanks :D

    I actually downloaded and installed and requested a license ... hey free 50$    :D

  • Having 4 kids my background noise is generally nickeldeon related :

    when their in bed ... siiiilllleeeeeennnceee    ;p

  • I meant trademarked I guess

    What I mentioned earlier is the gist of whether or not you can use a name.

    Trademarked, pattented. meaning some company payed 80k/120k for a concept/name.

    If you simply place a copyright sign, or notice, or a trademark emblem ... and its not in fact pattented or copyrighted at all, it doesnt really make any difference.

    A disclaimer or use policies definition about content does.

  • You can use anything that isn't copyrighted.

    then a simple question for you —, what makes something copyrighted ? :)
