  • Well, if you click on that link that you posted, you'll see that it's display's a JSON so, if you're using that URL, it's definitely not a 0.

    If you run in debug mode, what's loaded into the Ajax.LastData?

  • I haven't worked at all with JS files loaded locally so I can't be of any help in that department. You may have to put them in the scripts folder at which point, they may load automatically. I do not know. You'll likely need to include the path to them though if you do need to load them.

    I did a quick search for mathjax offline and apparently it does work locally. What other files you need to include, no idea. That's going to take some research and experimentation on your part. I did see that most examples only link to the MathJax.js with the config query on the end: ?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML

    I can tell you that if you look at the capx I uploaded, there is one line of JS that you're likely going to need to include in your project. MathJax was only parsing the text when the project was first run until I added that line of JS.

    As for the /'s, that's normal and I believe built-in to C3 as the text boxes will do that as well. It's 'escaping' the text, replacing things like carriage returns with their string representation /n and // to display a backslash.

    As always, when your project is running in Google, hit F12 and look for errors in the console.

  • You'll have to download the MathJax.js file and add it to the 'files' in your project.

    You can then change the location in Inject CSS from External JS to JS Files and give the path to the MathJax.js.

    That should work.

  • There are a number of 'tricks' you can use to determine if the date time has changed, like saving the date time to local storage the first time the app is run. The next time it's run, check to see if the current date is later than the previously stored one and if so, update it. You could also have periodic checks throughout the game to see if it's changed.

    If you're really concerned they may change it your best option is to get the time from a server using AJAX and compare it to the browser time.

    Here's a quick project I slapped together to get the time from worldclockapi.com

    + System: On start of layout

    -> AJAX: Request "http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now" (tag "time")

    + AJAX: On "time" completed

    -> JSON: Parse JSON string AJAX.LastData

    + AJAX: On "time" error

    -> (no actions)

    + JSON: Has key "currentDateTime"

    -> Text: Set text to JSON.Get("currentDateTime")

    It does get and display the proper time but, because it's a http and not a https, Chrome initially blocks the AJAX request. You have to click on the 'shield' to allow unsafe website requests. But, it shows you how it could be done.

    Ultimately though, if they really, really want to cheat by changing the system time, they will. You just need to find ways to make it difficult.

  • Just tested exporting my current project to NW.js and no sound either. They're MP3. Will C3 be eventually converting those or will NW.js eventually support them. I've been reading posts from over a year ago that hinted the support was coming 'soon'.

  • twistedvoid.com/latex

    You can either click on a button to show some example formulas or, you can paste your own latex in the white text box on top and it will automatically parse and display in the HTMLElement below.

    Pardon if this looks ugly, I spent 0 time making it pretty.

    You will need the HTMLElement and Inject CSS plugins I linked above if you plan to play with this.

  • I don't know how I can make it much easier. You paste a link, paste some text and it works.

    Install the HTML Element and Inject CSS plugins.

    Paste that JS link above into the Inject CSS in the 'External JS' box.

    Paste your latex in the HTML Element Text and check 'text like HTML'.

    CSS has nothing to do with this.

  • If you use a text object you'll have 2 types of fonts to choose from. Local or one of the web fonts you uploaded.

  • The easiest way is to download them as ttf or woff, right click on the font folder and import them.

  • I don't think the fps is going to affect movement or animation when you slow down a game if it stays at 60. I believe what's going to create the choppy movement is how many frames your animation has. If you plan on doing slow motion, you're going to have to create more intermediate frames for the animation to make it look smooth, not increase the frame rate.

  • Well, I'm not going to dig too deep but I can tell you this.

    If you're going to import a complete latex document, you're going to have to pre-parse it because MathJax doesn't seem to know what to do with many of the document codes like these: 

    \documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm}
\begin{document}

    In which case, MathJax seems to ignore the whole document even if there are formulas inside it. With LaTex, it seems that anything between the (backslash)[ and (backslash)] is acceptable as a formula and it will parse it correctly.

    The HTMLElement has a lot of confusing features and it will take you a while to figure it out. Once you do though, a lot of the stuff at the bottom you won't need. But, I did successfully change font sizes, colors and even imported a .wott font from the MathJax GitHub page and it displayed properly.

    So, learning how to format your formulas will be the first trick. Learning how to get the full power out of the HTMLElement will the be the next. But, I'm now quite confident that you could build a formula designer like the web site I linked in my first post if you really wanted to.

    GL and have fun ;)

  • Another quick test and supposedly this is chopped from a LaTex document, perhaps you can confirm.

    changed the HTMLElement to this: 

     [
 \mathcal L_{\mathcal T}(\vec{\lambda})
 = \sum_{(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{s})\in \mathcal T}
 \log P(\mathbf{s}\mid\mathbf{x}) - \sum_{i=1}^m
 \frac{\lambda_i^2}{2\sigma^2}
 \]

    and got this:

    That complex enough?

    *edit Oh and that was in Chrome

    *another edit. For some reason this site is stripping out the \ before the first left bracket so copying and pasting the code above won't work.
