  • Flappy bird is more of a genre these days then a game. (at least it made a genre)

    There are still plenty of cool and creative things left to do in that genre...

    OP: I would consider giving you a hand, but I have other projects going on atm. Although I would love to play test it

  • Glad you solved it...

    Although there is a plugin (Platform+) that has a built in wall jump feature...

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Hello everyone,

    I was recently working in a project for someone that Facebook was required... I worked on it for WAY longer then it should have gone. Why? Maybe my noobiness, or Facebook's API changing a lot making it hard for devs to keep plugins up to date.

    I ended up going with FacebookComplete by lanceal (Thanks for the plugin), but even that I had some trouble with. (might have been because lanceal isn't updating it anymore... NOTE: It's understandable because of Facebook changing it's API)

    Here's my questions to all you other C2 Devs,

    • Do you use Facebook at all in your projects?
    • If so, For what features? (Leaderboard, basic info, sharing or?)
    • What plugin do you currently use? (Default plugin, FacebookComplete or a homemade or alternative plugin)
    • Is Facebook worth the hassle for you?

    Final question

    • What could be done to make Facebook easy to add?

    I appreciate any input from you guys!

    PS: This might all be just my noobiness

  • o, I thought you wanted to have a Facebook leaderboard...

    Check your Facebook developer panel... Did you add your URL in there? (for testing put in http://localhost:50000)

  • I would assume they would have this kind of info in their Analytics...

    https://developers.facebook.com/products/analytics/?

  • Facebook needs certain permissions to use the game scoring... because of them updating the API, is hard to keep updated...

    Use FacebookComplete... It lets you pick the permissions your asking for...

    Although I find Facebook a huge pain to work with... because:

    • You have to add the URL you will be using it on. (which is annoying for testing)
    • You have to use their fake accounts, which don't work very well.
    • Changing API...

    ... and more

    I'm assuming your looking for the leaderboard of your friends?

  • Your saying they keep spawning when they shouldn't be?

  • Sending you a PM now.

  • Flash and 3d games... You know construct doesn't do either one (well technically can do 3D, but not super easy)

    I would also recommend having some kind of scope of what games your building...

    Some people only like building certain types of games...

  • I tried that tank game... It has some potential... a few things I would work on.

    • Make the arrows player controls different (Maybe number pad and 0 to shoot?)
    • Fix the animation. don't let it rotate the angle

    Biggest thing

    • Add some kind of change to bullets... Less bounces (maybe 1 bounce) or so it can only travel so far.

    If you don't nerf bullets, you can just spam like crazy and it get's hectic

  • This is a interesting concept... I might take a try at it...

    What reason do you want to read questions from a array?
