  • Yeah, for some reason when you use Physics, jitter happens.

    Although it looks like the sprite moves with constant speed, on some frames its x,y coordinates are not updating:

    X.............dt

    I don't know why this happens, but I'm guessing that's what causing the jitter when scrolling.

    Why are using Physics anyway? With 8-Direction behavior scrolling works perfectly.

  • Wait, I don't understand. Why do you need the second sprite? Is it for scrolling only?

    So the Mech moves smoothly and jitter only happens when you add scrolling?

    Why don't you try this:

    System->Scroll to X -> lerp(scrollX, Mech.X, dt*4)

    System->Scroll to Y -> lerp(scrollY, Mech.Y, dt*4)

    Also, the link you posted if broken.

  • Correct, "time" is different from the system time.

    "time" starts from 0 when the application starts.

    Firebase is a commercial product (with free plans available) owned by Google, so you can be fairly sure it will continue to work after X months or even years

  • It's not clear from your gifs which object is Sprite and which is the Character?

    Is the movement smooth if you disable Physics behavior?

    You should avoid changing x,y position for Physics objects, directly or with other behaviors like Bullet, Sine etc.

    Ideally physics objects should only be moved using Physics actions like Apply Force, Apply Impulse, Set Velocity etc.

    See this demo for example - the ball is moved to mouse position using impulses (last 3 events):

    Also, to ensure consistent movement on different framerates, use lerp with dt:

    lerp(Self.X,Sprite.X, dt*10)

    You can download that SVG plugin from github:

  • You don't have any other AJAX requests or AJAX->"On any completed" in other event sheets?

    I would change "On any completed" to "On 'ScriptLoad' completed" just to be on the safe side.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Could you share a screenshot of your events? Just to make sure that you are doing everything correctly.

    I guess you can try a stress-test. Change your code, so that if AJAX loads the file successfully, the game exits. If "On error" is triggered or AJAX.lastdata is empty, display some debug information and don't exit the game.

    Then set up Windows Scheduler to run your game every few seconds. Or create a batch file RunAgain.bat :

    MyGame.exe
timeout /t 10
RunAgain.bat

  • There are third-party services that can be used to host leaderboards. (Don't ask me how they work though, I haven't tried any of them)

    Here are a few links:

    There may be more examples in the Tutorials section, search for "leaderboard":

  • Did you put "Set StartTime to time" at the "On Start of layout"?

    Then yes, it will be very close to 0 when you launch the game. (because "time" starts from 0)

    Every time this layout is restarted, StartTime will be updated to current time.

    You are right, thanks!

    I learned it the hard way that events like "On timer" can sometimes pick several instances, this made me a bit too cautious.

  • The main error is that when you return to "Game Level4" the second time, your variables are not reset. "Level" variable still contains value 4, so event #31 changes layout back to "Screen 5".

    To tell you the truth, I don't understand what's going on in your game, all these layouts constantly changing.

    Screen 5 goes to Level 4, Level 4 goes to Level 2, Level 2 to Level 3, then back to Screen 5, then back to Level 4...

    There's probably some logic to it, but I don't get it.

    Try adding "Set Level=1" at the start of Screen 5 layout. Maybe it will help, but I don't know if this can break something else in your game.
