  • Couldn't you use families and disable collisions?

  • Is your initial layout linked to the correct event sheet? Please post your .capx

  • .capx?

    What are your touch x/y values? You may want to try AbsoluteX/Y

  • The Android version of Chrome and FF both support webGL tmk, though only in the unstable versions.

    No mobile device supports it with the default browser except for the new BlackBerry, though I'm not 100% on that!

  • Frames really shouldn't bring your ranking down; does the parent page have any additional content on it? Simply using a frame to embed content shouldn't matter unless your parent meta tags/description is referring to the frame, and the actual parent page has no such content.

    As Ashley said the best way around this is to use C2 for what it was made for, the interactive stuff, all your text, contact forms and links should be pure HTML; with tables dead you can make some very simple websites that still look great, and if your web-host is half-way decent, you've got access to a few hundred free to use templates!

    Pure C2 websites are effectively the same as Flash sites (Though I guess they work on mobile haha!) you're not going to get good crawler results without resorting to something like white-texting,and at that point you're doing more harm than good!

    Lightboxes are also a great alternative to a standard iFrame if your worried about screen estate.

  • I'm actually experimenting with C2 for web dev at the moment, I work in white-label multimedia and after years of Flash work I'm seeing C2 as a confident replacement, the next revision of my site features 3 C2 powered projects and hopefully I'll show it off next month, currently customers are enjoying being able to play Snake whilst they wait for a ticket reply so something's working :)

    One thing I can't stress enough, please don't use C2 as website creation tool! I definitely support it for designing fun site elements though; obviously certain assets like spry-bars should be kept away from C2, but I think there's room for experimentation in this area!

  • I remember initially getting fet with calculating angles and distances and just resorted to using an actual vision cone as an invisible sprite that was pinned to enemies and calling all the actions based on an overlap or collision with the player.

  • Bullets with gravity and maybe some bounce seems like a good start

  • Hey Terraria;

    What you're asking for is actually pretty simple, as from a gameplay standpoint you have no real mechanics! The cube rotating is easy to pull off with a layout to layout transition in the form of an animation; to do this you'd have to spend 5 minutes learning isometric drawing, but luckily cubes are the easiest shape!

    Likewise the depth effect is easy enough as an animated transition, maybe mess around with the WebGL effects?

    For random generation your best bet will be reading up on tile-maps and arrays.

    What you really need to do is get your gameplay down, what will the players have to do to advance?

  • ok. let's start with something easy

    http://studioryu.net/dev/bounceball/

    I looked up and it says your device is 1280x800. So just use your browser as I set this to run at your Android Browser(built in) available resolution.

    The demo just creates ball's while it has more than 30fps. The second number is the ball count. Just let me know where it starts to stop.

    Impressive! Are the balls physics objects? I ask because the results for Chrome on my laptop was 1447 before it's first drop, and this is with 17 tabs open, YouTube playing and Bioshock running in the background! Making it far more impressive than my own work, or are the balls bullets?

  • I haven't had a BSoD since 95, maybe once on XP.

    Asking for a refund is obscene, the program runs fine: Your issue is with the OS, and honestly if you're running a Frankenstein piece of tech ofcourse your OS is going to be stressed!

    Linux is great, all of my servers run RedHat, I haven't advertised Windows servers in years... but at the end of the day I'm typing this message from a laptop running Windows 7, when I get home I'm going to be using Windows 8. Admittedly they also run Ubuntu, but that's when I'm feeling techy and want to play around with things.

    Last I checked Linux had a market share of 2%, personally I'd rather Scirra focus on other features than a port.

    Not sure if mentioned, but have you tried Wine?
