  • I suppose those framerates aren't bad for lower end cards. My 8800 GT can crank out 300FPS+, I was wondering what other systems would manage!

    What shader model do those cards support? The demo tells you at the start. You need 1.4 for the water ripples to show up!

  • I've come up with a new demo for the demos section of the site. Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, how it runs for you etc (it's the most graphically intensive demo), critique, bugs etc:

    Edit: updated

    I'm hoping to make this the definitive demo file for Construct because it shows off a lot of the rendering capabilities, so feel free to nitpick!

    Cheers!

  • That's right, you can add event sheets in Application Properties and include them in any layout's events, so you can have one central place to edit events. You can even organise them in to separate sheets, as well as groups. So to answer your question - the only reason you'd want all your levels crammed in to one layout would be if you wanted seamless scrolling between levels. Otherwise, level design might be a bit of a headache

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I've also ended up annoyed trying to paste various alpha graphics in to the picture editor. Importing 32 bit PNGs with alpha channel is pretty bulletproof, but I do consider it a bug if you can't paste in alpha images. So I will try to do something about it.

  • You know what they say about arguing on the internet, folks.

  • Good ideas. I wanted to do Play Music on Channel, but it's a bit complicated (means decompressing an MP3/OGG/module or whatever to a WAV buffer), but I'll see what I can do.

  • It'd be a good expression to add, yeah. However in the meantime you can use a workaround by using two global variables to store the old x/y, and using a Distance expression to calculate the distance:

    + Always

    : Set 'Mouse Speed' to distance(MouseX, MouseY, global('OldX'), global('OldY'))

    : Set 'OldX' to MouseX

    : Set 'OldY' to MouseY

    'Mouse Speed' will contain the distance the mouse moved since the last frame, which is effectively its speed.

  • Heh, well thanks, but life's too short to worry about anonymous ratings on random download sites. If someone wants to be that petty it doesn't matter, I'm confident Construct is good enough to succeed purely on the fact it is (or will be) good software, rather than the ratings it has anywhere

  • Well, it's on the todo list, so I don't know why you feel the need to keep flaming each other. Locked!

  • Lol, our ratings dipped and I worked out someone rated us 1 on fileforum, download.com and we got 8 ratings of 1 on softpedia. I think I know which company these people are affiliated with, but I wont name names

  • Sorry, stuffed that one up. Should've been Sprite.X:

    Always

    Text object: set text to Sprite.X - Sprite('OldX')

    Sprite: Set 'OldX' to Sprite.X

  • Just store it in a private variable, eg:

    Always

    Text object: set text to Sprite.X - Sprite('OldX')

    Sprite: Set 'OldX' to Object.X

    The text object will show the change, frame-by-frame, in the X co-ordinate.
