I would start with something simpler like a top down shooter.

But if you are set on doing a map game:

You need to know how to use:

global and local variables

Control flow (Events/subevents, else, and toggle invert)

How to use tiles sheets and tiledbackground.

System commands (pick all, for each)

After you have watched a couple tutorials on those topics you'really ready to start.

Character movement will be something like

on move event if character instance variable1 is greater than zero >

move character x pixels then subtract 1 from variable1

Else > out of moves

Subtract more if over rough terrain.

Character health and other statistics will probably be local variables as well.

Here is a reference for the key codes.

you can also select a key by it's name by using the keyboard options under the key codes section.

on key code 65 pressed

is the same as

on key a pressed

I'm trying to build a project that has a photo album.

Rather than uploading all the pictures into the project, can I pull the images as needed from a file on my computer.

Alternatively are there any websites that I can upload the photos to and later pull them from?

[sprite >load image from "url"&Variable1&".jpg"]

All the websites I've looked at so far seem to add a bunch of random letters to the end of the url which is messing up the cycling through pics with a variable.

Since there could be alot of high res photos I need to find the best way to manage the pictures without bogging everything down.

Ultimately this project will become a sortof help desk/kiosk.

If I make a project to sell it to a business does that business need to buy construct 2?

The project itself won't be monitized, but since the business makes money on it's own that may count to the $5000.

So when I pitch the project to the business I need to say that they will pay me X and $429.99 to Scirra?

Right click, add new condition.

If score is > 1000

And

If score is < 2000

Do action

Or

Name layouts "level 1,2,3 ect"

On end of layout | system go to layout "level" & floor (score/1000)

thanks for your response, I was trying to get it only to work when all the taps occurred simultaneously.

I managed to get it working now though.

is test mode turned off?

player > behaviors > 'bound to layout'

do you have a personal license? I think that's required.

Is there any way to check if 2 or 3 sprites are touched( or tapped) at the same time?

the problem with "on touch start"/ "is in touch" combination is that a player could just leave his fingers on the screen. I need the player to tap one set of sprites, lift his hand, then tap a second set of sprites. If the player leaves his hand on the screen I want it not to register as in touch.
