Step 3: profit!
Been happening to me for a couple of releases, but the torrents work just fine
I'm not getting it anymore. It appeared once, I closed it, and never saw it again
It's currently impossible with only one text object. I would love this feature too
I have a health bar example on the arcade, it might help you http://www.scirra.com/arcade/example/5456/circular-life-bar-example (remember you can download the .capx)
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
C2 crashed on me and I lost a bunch of progress (it's like it knows when I forget to save)
Wished we had more than just a week :/ Good luck to those who finished, I'll try to finish mine later
Can you create a countdown with the correct time? I don't want to miss it
Example: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20130923T2359&p0=12 (create one here)
if i resize to 40x40 in c2, is it wasting memory or does c2 actually only use the resized smaller graphic?
Yes, construct will load the full-res image to memory. You don't need to make a sprite 1000x1000 if the end sprite will be resized to 40x40. Just make sure it is at least as big as size you want in game.
BFXR is pretty popular (I even stopped using it because every game I play uses it and I got sick of 8-bits sounds :P)
