You're very welcome :)

Glad it worked out for you. Nice thing about this set up is you have access to mysql databases if you need them, and anything else you might ever need for a game.

Is the phone using your wifi network? Connected to the network and assigned an ip. My one laptop ip ended up being 10.0.0.9 when everything else worked on 10.0.0.3

You can configure the ip range via your router settings ;)

DUTOIT, Thank you so much. I will patiently wait for your tutorial. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Here you go: The Tutorial

I hope it works for you. If not then are you connected to your wifi via your router? and firewalls etc. But this should do it for you ;)

I've been meaning to update my install of xampp to latest version of php, so guess this is as good a time as any.

Will be up in a couple hours time ;)

Got to run some errands.

rekjl

No problem. Here is the Tutorial

Edit: You are right - hold on, let me investigate

Damn, I'm an idiot. So sorry, you need the network ip not localhost.

Instant Wordpress doesn't use network. It ain't going to work unless I hack the code.

Xampp works, I use it. Will have to write up tutorial on that instead.

rekjl,

Haven't used instant wordpress for ages. Let me download and install quick.

Oh, cool, its better than I remember :)

Your wp installion is in iwpserver/htdocs/wordpress/

You want to create a folder

iwpserver/htdocs/wordpress/games/

Now create a folder for your game and export game to this folder.

launch instant wordpress and click wordpress front page - it will launch internet explorer at a url like this

127.0.0.1/wordpress

Now either via wordpress you can create a website and link to games via menu etc

Or just type in your browser of your choice:

127.0.0.1/wordpress/games/zombie

Maybe I will make my first tutorial today if I get a chance, but this should sort you out.

No! Its just for hobbiests and wanna be programmers :)Notion Games Isn't making money and these guys are never going to make any money

Both are fantastic examples of what is achievable.

rekjl,

No problem :)

Trust me its not you, I'm pretty good at networking etc, but for some reason I can't get C2 and my LAN to work. I've tried countless times in the past.

But, my work-a-round suits me better now.

I have my development sites there, my mysql databases, and now my game(s) which I can test to my hearts content.

The preview is great for little changes, because it takes slightly more time to hit the export button and select folder, and wait for it to export - lol. But, at least I am seeing the real game it its exported state vs a preview.

Wamp and Xampp can be a little tricky - have a look at Instant Wordpress. Its a standalone, portable WordPress development environment. It turns any Windows machine into a WordPress development server. It will even run from a USB key. Create a folder in your wordpress directory.

Nice trick: edit your hosts file turning your localhost and ip 127.0.0.1 to a url example.com or I use myactualdomain.dev

Anyways good luck, have fun

I used to use old windows template :) Worked well with vista as it dropped the ram usage considerably, but windows 7 and 16 gig ram, I have very little worries about saving ram now.

Agree with Kyatric. Unistall, download it again, reinstall and reboot the machine.

I doubt it is graphics card so wouldn't waste time on that.

I've never got my lan working (with construct2 preview) and my mobile.

My work-a-round is using wamp or *xampp and having a directory for games. I just export html game there and run game from my mobile using wifi and network.

*my current favorite

I just installed and tried. I don't have this issue. Mine works perfectly. Win 7 64bit. Perhaps open bug report in forum?

Its not your wifi, its your old smartphone. Its the lack of cpu, ram, and all those wonderfull things that we take for granted on a pc. As for using CocoonJS it will be make it run even worse (depending) than your wifi.

Old smartphones run out of memory and cpu and frame rate drops to nothing with the smallest/simplest of games and that is if you are lucky enough to actually get it to run.

But good news is the new phones comming out can outperform some pc's lol.

But, its not your wifi, that is 150mb/s or 300mb/s usually - I stream hd netflix movies over my wifi, it ain't the wifi, its the phone :)

I'm scared of chess games - they are extremely difficult to make. Player vs player is doable, but player vs computer is next to impossible. I know that someone was will to design the AI in the job posts, would recommend you place and ad there. Expect it to cost a couple $1000 at least.

Player vs Player - I would go through the tutorial section. Start with the first page, make those example games. Read the manual, and start by building individual components of the game.

Move pieces around the board, put those pieces into families, overlapping pieces trigger a function, etc etc. Spend a couple 1000 hours building sections of your game. By that time you will be in a better place to string them together into a final product.

But the A.I is beyond many programmers, even seasoned veterans.
