  • If you're happy with a solid outline you could use the outline effect.

    For a dashed line you'd need to calculate the outline from the intersection of the shapes. The canvas plugin gives a way to draw it after you calculate it, or you could use a tiled background for each edge.

    It's not super trivial to calculate but a lot of solutions can be found online that can be adapted over.

    What is this outline effect? Is this a separate effect altogether or is it an action found in Canvas?

    Sorry but I have no experience using this plugin yet so I don't know where to begin

  • I'm trying to make some scalable solid walls for some sprites to interact with.

    At first I went the brute force method of using lines and image points (which I struggled to complete) but it occurred to me that Canvas might be a possible solution to my problem though I've never used the plugin before so I don't know where to begin.

    All details below:

  • Will the C3 runtime affect C2-made projects?

  • Any new laptop but ask for Windows 7.

    Windows 10 comes pre-installed with many shitware that will slow down your pc.

  • New runtime has performance improvements and will have plugins like tween, canvas etc. Those definitely help to make a more polished game.

    [Del.] Dont want to give them any more ideas.

  • ...currently working on a desktop project, so no need for the neat new things construct 3 have for mobile projects (exporters, IAP plugin).

    C2 is good enough for your needs but if your project has a demand for Android and iOS, then it wouldn't hurt to get C3 only for the exportation. Even if the runtime turns out to be as good as promised it's not really mandatory for your needs.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Your only thinking of it from a potential winners point of view. Their investment in the Jam is meant as promotion for both Construct and NG. Not just for contestants, but people playing the games. If a good quantity of the submissions are of "limited" quality, it's actually negative as a promotion.

    That's actually a good point.

    Though I still think solution C up there is the better option. I think they just looked at Solution B and decided.

    "You wanna increase your chances of winning a subscription? Then subscribe!"

  • Thanks all but my issue IS that I need ads. I don't want to disable them.

    Try Cadburry games' ad plugins. He's already ported them to C3 last I checked. Though your next potential problem is that guy never ever replies if and when something goes wrong. Check to see if Josek has ported his plugins to C3 as well. His worked well on C2 at least last year.

  • Exciting right?

    Wait 'til it's time to export that project to actually make it usable outside of C2.....

  • [Del. Wrong info.]

  • £80 to export 3 games!.... Well thats hardly 'value for money' or goes in line with the way it was advertised on the website!... I feel this will escalate! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

    Well it could've been way way WAY worse.

    You'd have paid more if you'd bought the license 4 days later.

  • Well try to think of things in a positive light. Technically you bought an engine to make 3 games for your kids to play.

    2 exported using Cocoon JS and 1 exported using PhoneGap.

    If you want a 4th game then you may start feeling cheated again. : )
