Hi guys

My turn to make a few suggestions to the already implemented features! <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I just released a game made in C2 and along its development I ran into a few annoyances. Here's my suggestions:

1- Hand Cursor: Is there a way for me to change the cursor to that familiar link-clicking hand? If not, that should be an option when I hover the mouse over some object... Don't know what could be the best way to do it (behavior? system option?)

2- Image editor coordinates: I would love to see the coordinates when moving the hotspot or the collision polygon vertices around. In addition, being able to type them would be PERFECT.

Hi folks!

I just published a game I made to test C2.

We made an iPhone game and recently we were nominated for a brazilian game award, and I was so excited about this I decided to make a small game. The rest of the team loved it and helped me finish it. We even added a small banner to promote our iPhone game :P

So, here it is:

BTW, this was the game I tested on the iOS5 and Phonegap, and it runs smoothly ! <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Cheers!

EDIT: Fell free to move it if you think it should belong in the "Creations" forum!

'sup folks!

Just ran a small game I made test C2 and the results on iOS5 were impressive. It ran really well, over 30 FPS for sure.

But my game was intended to be light, so I added a few more objects and made the biggest sprites rotate with every tick. There were no significant changes in the framerate, although we made a garbage collector to help improve the performance and seconds before running it we had some slow down.

I didn't test sounds on this game. Nor the recent physics.

I am very impressed by the results, now we just have to wait for these improvements to go live. :D

We're waiting for iOS 5, which has a hardware accelerated canvas and should be much faster!

I have an iPod with iOS5 beta at work, I can post my results there on monday :D

Damn, I just wrote a big post explaining my tests on the iPhone, but I timedout and lost it <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Short version:

Performance isn't good on an iPhone 4.

I had an animated sprite rotating 1 degree every tick. With each tap, I added one of these.

By the 15th sprite, the FPS started dropping. With 30 sprites, it ran about 10 FPS.

For action games it's unnaceptable, but for simple, turn/text games it should be fine. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hi TechMedia!

Please post your thoughts and experiments using PhoneGap. There's been lots of talk about it, but no feedback!

I want to try it, but still haven't found time to do it :)

Cheers!

Hi guys!

I'm not sure this should be posted here, but this article about HTML5 was very clarifying and interesting to me, so I thought I should share it with the commmunity.

Voted for families, but I know this will take a while... :)

Anyway, I still have to try Zack's function plugin! Still finishing my freelance jobs, but I guess I'll do it still today. :D

This is so great, I'm gonna try that out later.

Will it hit hard on the performance? Considering it will be a part of the HUD and will not move/rotate/scale...

hahahah perfect!

Voted for function because it deserves some love!

And as Fimbul mentioned, I think it should be a part of the System options rather than an object.

Damn right... It was driving me crazy!

Thanks Arima!
