  • Ah.. right. Well that's a good catch then! There's a behaviour "Destroy outside layout", you might find it useful.

  • The most interesting part for you in this case is the profile tab in the debugger. It shows CPU usage for the particular group, so you can track the problem.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Thanks for this tutorial AndreasR! Just one thing... I believe it would be much easier for most of us if you could do the GDC screenshots while in english mode, so we could easily track where exactly you are at the moment. Just add a "hl" GET parameter. So basically modify the URL by adding "hl=en&" after questionmark sign "?". Would be awesome!

  • Intel just fixed this issue. minSdkVersion is now honored.

  • I just built my game with C2 AdMob plugin + phonegap JS (as manual describes). No issues at all.

  • Elliott I have another few questions:

    1) Is a battle between light and dark against the rules, for example good fairies and evil fairies in a war, against the rule? The "battle" I mean and the swords! and fantasy battles?

    2) If somehow a Gamedev made 2 games and both his games won a place, for ex. (1st game - 1st place, 2nd game - 2nd place) will it be against the rules or do you already limit the prize per player?

    IMHO as far as I underdand the contest rules so far:

    1. It is fine as long as you not gonna cut the fairies throat with the super zoom in slow-mo where blood is splattering to the screen

    2. It's a games contest, not a developers contest I believe.... BTW: do you plan to make 10 games to fill the contest results board?:P

  • I will do some tests today, and let you know how it works for me.

  • Thanks trquangss . Unfortunately there is no day/night nor fog system. This game is already pretty heavy so adding those features would cause serious problems for mobile devices IMO. However there are several maps, some of them are imitating daytime and some evening time.

    The mobile version is easy at the beginning but getting really challanging with later waves anyway.

    The AirConsole version is basically a duel between players in a meaning "let's bet who can kill more zombies".

    I'm planning also to do a port to desktops, but this will be a version with many more possibilities so it won't be that much casual as on mobile. And as Desktops have much more resource power, the fog system might be very interesting! Thanks for the tip!

  • C2 official plugin doesn't work by itself. You need to attach the JS library. By default (I mean according to manual instruction) it's supported with cranberry phonegap JS. But this library is not attached by itself, you have to add it manually.

  • > It works fine with cranberries phonegap JS library but has some problems with cordova JS library I guess. I have screen freezes sometimes when interstitial pops out, while using C2 AdMob and Cordova JS.

    >

    Please, where I can download that ?.

    It's in the official manual https://www.scirra.com/manual/184/admob

    [quote:1bojojdn]Name: AdMob Plugin

    Plugin ID: com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.ad.admob

    Well I guess that's a no to both since the plug isn't supported on Phonegap officially.

    It is officially on Scirra. There's nothing to report IMO. The problem is when you use C2 plugin and JS which is NOT officially supported by C2. So I doubt Ashley would consider fixing it... especially when the code itself is a third-party library.

    So to wrap up:

    Case 1

    C2 official AdMob plugin + cranberry Cordova AdMob plugin (JS) - gives problems sometimes

    Case 2

    C2 official AdMob plugin + cranberry Phonegap AdMob plugin (JS) - works fine

    Case 3

    Cranberry C2 Cordova Admob plugin + cranberry Cordova AdMob plugin (JS) - should work fine (haven't test it myself yet

    Officially only Case 2 is supported and I didn't have any issues with such combination.

  • It works fine with cranberries phonegap JS library but has some problems with cordova JS library I guess. I have screen freezes sometimes when interstitial pops out, while using C2 AdMob and Cordova JS.

  • Does anyone know any valid source of indie games contests?

    I've searched facebook, google, twitter and there are several but most of them are outdated. I am sure there are many contests going on pretty often but can't find any valid list of contests.

    I think it would be nice to have such a list on scirra forum.
