kingpirux Thanks so much for your answer, and sorry for reviving such an old post.

kingpirux, Could you point me in some direction? I arrived to this post looking for crowdgaming, I find fascinating the possibility of having anyone connecting and controlling construct games without the need of a app, I think the possibilities are endless!

I saw the Airconsole plugin, but it requires to go through the airconsole interface... Is this what you mean with "construct Plugin"? When you say the only reason is to have a free plugin to create your own server... I get a bit lost.

How can I let people use their smartphones to control my game locally like the examples posted in this thread? what should I search or start trying to understand?

Thank you very much!!

1481 days since last answer, but I need to know... Is this project still alive? Anywhere I could download it? buy it? I´d really like to see it working

Hi! Here I am, 7 years later... lol But las post wasn´t that long ago, maybe you guys can help me out Pode, mightyme04 ?

Does this still work in current versions? I´m not being able to make it work

AllanR

I would like to thank you once again! I have seen your file and works perfect for what I needed. I promise it will be used for good :)

However, I havn´t been able to entirely understand it, your comments are very well documented, but I am not being able to reproduce a similar project by myself... (Your file works perfect and I can change whatever needed... It´s just that I would love to know how to make it myself)

I will keep on learning whenever I get the time, this file pointed me in the right direction, now I know what to look for :)

Just one question before I start digging the wrong way... Is it possible to copy/paste and strech the layer canvas so 10 questions could fit in a platformer kind of game? or maybe I should go with different layouts?

Thank you!

AllanR, I can´t thank you enough! I havn´t seen your file yet, but I am sure it will help. Thank you!

Your last sentence, "Make those kids happy" is the greatest motivator, and I would like to share a little bit, if the rules allow it, about this story.

I started working with a low resources hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2011. Although it´s a great hospital, all their resources are destinated to medical and/or infrastructure stuff.

During a chat with them, we had the chance to talk about how long the waitings are, sometimes people can stay for many hours just waiting their turn. It´s a free hospital, so they can be pretty jammed sometimes.

I realized that they had the opportunity to educate and/or teach kids and adults during this time and everything started to shape. One of the main "problems" the hospital had was the lack of people donating blood. So we made a trivia game about how easy it was. It was a great sucess, people didn´t know a lot about donating blood (neither did I)

All these trivias were made in flash, using AS2. Had questions like "How many people can save you throgh a single donation?" If the user got it wrong, we would explain and emphatize the importance of donations.

We thought the questions in order to encourage people to donate blood, and it was a great sucess. I´ve been doing this every now and then for almost 8 years now. Trust me, it´s a GREAT experience. People have fun wile learning! When they get a question wrong, trust me... They want to know more.

We made games doing our best to educate people on blood donation, chagas disease, hygene, etc. My work is done for free, that is why sometimes time to learn or calling someone is really hard.

I am telling this story because I need to thank you and all the people who feel they can help a bit, maybe it´s because they just want to share, maybe it´s for boosting the ego, I don´t know, but what I do know, is that sometimes, this help travels a long way and helps more than you´ll ever know.

I´s my first time using construct, I am not a programmer, and I´ts my first time in this forum. But, as I did in many other forums, I feel the need of thanking every comment... Because they end in a good cause, and everyone that gives their little thing deserves to know how the story goes :)

My plan in this occasion is to try to collect information from the kids without forcing them to give answers the same way they do in surveys or chats.

To make long short... Thank you! Hopefully this will end doing some good! And guys, I encourage you to do this, I am no angel, definitely not an activist, but if you can... do It, trust me, it´s a great experience :)

That´s all... I have some buttons that add 1 to local storage and keep count as if it was a record.

How can I export this information to xls or something similar locally?

Thanks in advance :)

plinkie, thanks so much for your answer... sounds really understandable when I read you. However, I have no idea how to implement this. But you gave me a great set of thing to look for in tutorials now :)

Thank you very much!

Following, something similar here.

I need to make a survey and count how many times each button is pressed. I am doing it the same way you did, using localstorage and records, but I have 25 questions, with 5 possible answers each, meaning 125 "counters" to be recorded...

Glad I could help ;)

Hi everyone!

I am trying to make a survey that looks like a game. A character jumps and selects an answer on each question.

What I need in return is the data that the players chose for each question. (by question, for example, 35 people chose "A", 33 "B", etc.)

My report sould look like: Question1, Answer 1, clicked X times, Answer 2, clicked X times, etc.

Ideally should look in %, but that´s not important.

I have seen tutorials that deal with ajax, arrays and so on. Sadly, I don´t have the knowledge or resources to dig too much on this.

So far, I have a sprite for each question and local storage, on each collision with each sprite, adds 1 to a Global number, and records on a localstorage.

Everything "works" (I know not in the best way, but it works) but the problem I find is when adding questions/layouts, I don´t think that doing 20 questions this way would be reasonable... ¿?

So far I can see the answers on each question by hiding/showing them. Not ideal, but works

For consideration:

The amount of questions will never be more than 20 or 30.

Wouldn´t mind typing them on construct, since this is for kids in a local hospital, one or two time use only.

Doesn´t need to go online, storing this information locally will be enough

Should be able to work with the free edition of construct2

Any suggestions will be really really highly appreciated! :)
