  Just a heads up with Pode's build. Everything seems to work, with the exception that my game will not work in IE on Kongregate. It just gets to the html5 logo and stops, no load apparently.

  Ive tested IE against another C2 game on Kongregate, and that game ran fine... fairly sure it didn't use Canvas.

  Perhaps it's something to do with the Iframe, as the standard Html5 export runs fine in all browsers, including IE, with no webgl of course.

  Also no idea if the collision build has anything to do with it, as testing different versions on Kongregate is problematic at best.

  Also, also wmd means weapon of mass distraction.:P

  gimp plug

  In theory, you can, since the background is all the same, just make some elements, group of stars here, gas cloud there, etc.

  You can have it all on one layer. That with a tiled background with some stars on it.

  Something's wrong with your cap there.

  From the previous cap I can tell you do not add anything to the "trans" text object other than trans.text&loopindex-1.

  Also you do not need to swap strings around. The edit box has an option to get its text. Use that instead.

  One more thing, you need to make sure that the trans text has no text before you do the loop. IE backspace on its text in its preferences in the layout editor.

  You don't want to concatenate the text from the edit box.

  Just add a text object and set its text to text.text&loopindex, or use a variable, etc. Just be sure to use int() if you plan to use that string as a number.

  You could try adding a space to the string, and increase the loop.

  Id suggest getting rid of global objects, and use global variables.

  If you make an event sheet include that sets the private variables to the global variables, and put that include in the layouts you need that to happen, its much easier to deal with.

  Try for each as a sub event, using the overlap as a filter.

  We have "for each ordered" now, so all you have to do is input the y value.

  It depends on how big the layout is, and the dimensions of the window of the person who is viewing it.

  Yeah, a pause button would be a good idea. heh

  Im kind of thinking about removing the click to release part, and make it all ai controlled.

  I can set it up where the player can set up his own ai, including when to make a new ship, and when to release it.

  It would be a huge addition, but I think it would add a lot to the game play.
