  • Repeat topics are a bane to certain communities, it's a matter of taste.

    To regular users, they're annoying, by discouraging the practice we get a cleaner place of discussion which promotes new, interesting topics.

    The possible downside of this system is that users are referred to information that is out of date, in the near future we're going to be seeing this with regards to mobile porting and wrappers - luckily the more active members of the community are well aware of these nuances.

    At the end of the day, the search function is your friend and should always be encouraged, which is the main aim of this policy - Scirra's severs can handle hundreds of thousands of user downloads, it's not a matter of bandwidth.

  • Without seeing a .capx it's hard top be specific, but you can recreate the control of a platformer character by manipulating a physics object with forces and impulses.

  • You could have a cool down variable that decreases by 1 every second (and stops at 0)

    Then simply have your touch event have the condition of cool down being equal to 0, and the action itself setting the cool down variable to whatever value produces the best result (let's say 3)

  • A combination of die-hard loyalty to Macromedia and a lot of web dev work has left me always favouring Fireworks over Illustrator.

    Though I must admit, having only made the jump from 8 to CS6, I'm immensely underwhelmed with what Adobe have done to progress things - between that and Creative Cloud I'm pretty miffed at their graphics monopoly.

  • Construct 2 is the spiritual successor, CC is Scirra's previous product and is no longer supported.

  • This was made by AnD4D if I'm not I'm not mistaken (that username now makes a lot more sense!) - congratulations on getting on the WiiU!

    How did you go about the ESRB rating? Or did Nintendo handle it?

  • I'm a diehard capitalist and even I feel uneasy at the ridiculous level of specialization in those plugins (You have to buy push and local notifications separately? iAds and AdMob? Are you kidding?) - hopefully there's a heavily subsidized Phonegap bundle. Can you imagine if the Q3D plugin was released in a similar fashion?

    Luckily the free market will dictate this one - and I look forward to Scirra's own advancements.

    Also I don't think I've ever thanked you Kyatric, so cheers!

  • Dragging and dropping a c2addon into layout does not prompt plugin install.

    This is certainly not a bug as I installed this exact plugin (FGL) 3 days ago, though since then I have factory restored my PC, on attempting to reinstall everything I noticed I could no longer drag and drop install.

    I am using C2 r173 on Windows 7 64-bit, with an activated personal licence.

    Is there any other way to get a c2addon file to work? File association yields no results.

    Thanks for your time.

  • The tutorial section is full of info, and the manual is fantastically detailed.

    There is however a book on Amazon written by a forum member IIRC.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • An Angry Birds clone is undoubtedly the game you want to use as your example, easily relatable examples will make learning much easier, as students are looking at something they already know, but in a different way.

  • The above video seems to use what I was going to suggest, simply using a generic rewind sound effect (garbled audio) to overlay the current music.
