Ashley, Are there physic limits to C2? If so, I was told that the JavascriptSDK could help me create more advanced physics with JS, deal with frame rate issues, etc, no?

I am really focusing on studying javascript now at codecademy.com , do you need to know much about html 5 and css when using construct?

For that matter, what else do I need to get ready for making plug-ins?

Example Code of my first textbased Javascrit game:D

tanayshah, Here's the big problem I'm having, you have to install the proper windows drivers, which by defualt lead me to microsoft, and thus they want to verfy my windows PC, which is problem in many ways.

How do you get the wall I hit, in wine bottler, you have install the drives by clicking on them while making the app. Hopefully the creator of this program will adress the "driver" issue. Which, I'm guessing is the problem.

I hope this helps...

All, thank you so much...

Rosareven, This fantastic answer and confirm some of my beliefs. However, "preference" may not cover peoples frustration when they feel they hit a wall.

"Some people may have particular ways of designing their games, be it prior knowledge from other engines or programming language, and suddenly they can't use the exact same practices C2 is designed for. That's more of a preference problem rather than limitation. People who came from programming background may also find the graphical program logic interface (aka the event editor) a bit weird and prefer typing them out instead of visually arranging the logic."

Kyatric, since I have to wait until December to get my PC back, I'll check out the tutorials and still study javascript because I want to pick up some extra work as a coder.

Wow that sounds great, what program can I run the game on a mac? Or will I have to wait to get my PC back?

Also, you mentioned "Java" not "Javescript", I'm even worse with Java than Javascript, so I really would rather focus on Javascript, so do you think it's better to focus on Java when using C2?

Also, have you used the Javascript SDK? If so, what do you think?

I just found this book on coding from scratch, and feel this will help me to understand Javascript for games.

Thanks for the reply...

I'm looking to start developing a game project with someone, and it looks like a year or two, three or four if I have to code from scratch. My overall fear is we can't code a behavior or something because C2 may have a limit.

"What are the limits you are referring to ?"

Limit Research:

1.) The start was a 2d Game Comparison on performance...

youtube.com/watch

I still leaned to Construct 2 because of the idea of drag a drop.

2.) Anecdotal report of port issues...

On Google Plus C2 Community a person had issues porting their code into C2, and thus assumed the program has limits.

3.) Other coders seem to tell me about limits, I'm going to ask what limits they are specifically talking about or are seeing.

"You can code extra plugins and behaviors using C2's Javascript SDK."

I never been good at Javascripting but I've started to study it again at codecademy.com/... how much will I need to know (arbitrary questions) in order to start to develop plug-ins?

"For question 2 and 3, the answer only depends on your level of knowledge, understanding, time and effort you put into using C2 and game making."

I understand "game theory" and know how to make 2d game characters and 2d game animation. I also undertand how to make game backgrounds. As far as C2 I have yet to get it working on my mac, and won't have my PC back till December... LOL.

"C2 can do exe files through node webkit's wrapper (available for licensee users) but having it on steam only depends on the quality of your game, your popularity as a developer/studio and the acceptance of your game on Valve's platform. Whether the game is made in C2 or not doesn't impact on this."

LOL, I understand. So are these games possible with C2 in a year to three year development window?

Moreover, I assume there are development teams working with Construct 2 right now, and have yet to publish their games, do they have blogs? Yes, I'm still a noob to C2, so please forgive me.

I put this in here because I have a partner, as well as others, who feel construct 2 is too limited. I'm learning more about module programing, and I was under the assumption that one could eventually purchase new module behaviors and code, or code modules for the construct 2 to fine tune or develop new games, etc.

1.) Is this a correct assumption?

2.) How hard would it be to make a strategy game?

3.) How hard would it be to create a game like zelda?

4.) How hard is it to sell games on steam, after using construct 2?

I hope Windows 8 or 9 doesn't go cloud. Or, I'll have to fo to linux and apple...

I may have to get an android phone, do yon know of any games in the Apple App store? <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

pixel, Nice man, glad to see and RTS, hopefully this will become a genere in the Scriia Arcade. I would have it be a a game where Earth is trying to collect astroids for resources. The rockest lessen the mass of the asteroids, then the rocket sends astronauts to collect and explore the asteroids. This is bassed on the news Nasa is using a new ion plus Engine to potential, build ships to bring back asteroids to the moon's orbit. Add a Sun factor, and bam, educational non-violent RTS game.

I teach in South Korea and will be moving back to LA this December to Join the LA Game Space. My Middle School students here like the program so far, but we haven't really started any development lessons.

I teach at an all boys school and a all girls school, but I am going to push both girls and boys to develop unique games from our classes to share.

The Tizen has been a huge plus because this is the Home of Sam Sung, so we will see where this goes when we start developing. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I'm trying Wine Bottler right now, this may do the trick, if it does, I may create a new forum and post my findings on Google+
