    Axis(Gamepad, Index)

    Retrieve the current position of an analog joystick on a specific gamepad. Index specifies left analog X and Y or right analog X and Y axes, subject to Key mapping. Axes range from -100 to 100. Axis values within the Analog deadzone are returned as 0.

    If you use distance(0,0,gamepad.axis(x),gamepad.axis(y)) where x and y are the correct gamepad and stick indexes, you'll get how far a stick is pushed.

    Button(Gamepad, Index)

    Retrieve the current button press value of a button on a specific gamepad. Index specifies the zero-based index of a button from the dropdown list in the Is button down condition (e.g. 0 returns the value for the A button). The returned value depends on the features of the button: if the button is pressure sensitive, it can return any value from 0 to 100 depending on the pressure; otherwise it returns 0 for not pressed and 100 for pressed. Buttons which are not pressure sensitive are easier to detect using the Is button down condition.

  • On Android at least, sliding these toggles is not a thing. It may be simpler to treat them as separate functions.

    For tap toggles, there is copy and pastable css that should work in C3. w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_switch.asp

    I'd use slider bars for a slide switch rather than a button.

  • Send it to the host with a tag identifying the target peer the host should forward it to.

  • Probably a fill rate limitation. C3 isn't a 3d engine so it's probably not great at efficient occlusion culling (or it doesn't exist at all). Fill rate is a common performance limitation even with 2d games, so I'm guessing your lag doesn't have anything to do with polygon resolution, just simply how many pixels it has to fill and refill.

    Just speculation though. You can test by using a more or less powerful device with remote preview to see if there is a noticeable difference. If you know better then feel free to make a bug report following the guidelines. That's the most direct way to get a fast response from the dev.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Should work fine. Is the domain you're trying to get the png and jpeg from the same place? Do you have permission to access the pngs (cors enabled)?

  • The problem that if you design a game that is beyond the capabilities of the target device it will run slowly? Probably yeah.

  • There's a physics based example out there that works pretty well, you can probably find it if you search for it.

    If you study vampire survivors closely though, you'll realize that enemies actually do overlap. They just decollide, or push each other out, every few seconds. You can use multiple bullet behaviors to do this. One to head towards the player (slow, steady), and another one that moves away from whatever it is overlapping (fast, with high deceleration). This approach is much less resource intensive than physics, but generally speaking devices are powerful enough to handle the physics method just fine anyways.

  • Generally speaking, you would store all the data in a text format of your choice (recommend json), with all the relevant information needed to generate and display the choices.

    You need to decide what that is going to look like. For example, for each room you would need at least the room number, description, and a list of choices.

    Then for your layout, you would look up the room number in your data file, and display the information there. Create as many choices options as there are choices (they're all the same object), and set an instance variable from the data that determines what happens when you click that object (for example the target room number). Each choice might have a description as well. Json is flexible, but it's up to you to decide what data is relevant.

  • There is no filtering available for the built in sync function.

    However, depending on your game, you might not need to rely on syncing objects and may be able to use messages to selectively communicate instead.

  • Yes. Use proper inner or outer scaling instead of letterbox scaling, and make your extended layout background black. Note that you don't have much control over the available size of the user device, so those black bars may or may not be there in all cases.

  • You can't open an exported game in the editor anyways even if you could download it.

    Recommend using cloud services to save any long term projects you might have in the future, there are many free options like Google drive, dropbox, onedrive ext

  • You can use Construct 3 on a phone, but I wouldn't recommend it for any heavy work.
