  • I can't figure out how to post code or fixed width text examples... there should be a 'help' section on how to deal with markdown text.

    Every time I hit [ENTER]

    it adds a line in between... extremely annoying!

  • I've been programming since 1995 and we load arrays like this:

    const int NAME=0, GAMES_PLAYED=1,UNLOCKED_BOSS=2;

    Array[0][NAME] = "Andrew";

    Array[0][GAMES_PLAYED] = 42;

    Array[0][UNLOCKED_BOSS] = "yes";

    Array[1][NAME] = "John";

    Array[1][GAMES_PLAYED] = 11;

    Array[1][UNLOCKED_BOSS] = "no";

    Array[2][NAME] = "Fred";

    Array[2][GAMES_PLAYED] = 2;

    Array[2][UNLOCKED_BOSS] = "no";

    The excel spreadsheet would look like this:

    ID NAME GP UNLOCK

    ------------------------------

    0 Andrew 42 yes

    1 John 11 no

    2 Fred 2 no

    If you know anything about arrays in construct it swaps rows with columns. WHY??? It's incredibly confusing!

  • I assume the answer is no?

  • to be clear: I DO NOT want to access a web page. I just want to put the data in the game and have the game be able to modify and retrieve info from the table.

  • Previously I was using C2 and Rex's CSV plugin made for an incredibly simple ways to make tables that would save info about my game in between layouts. I use them for everything, and the CSV syntax is very easy to use and minimal.

    Since CSV object is not C3 compatible, what is the best way to load my Google Sheets into my game?

    I like to modify my data tables via Google Sheets, then when they are up to date, I downloaded them as CSVs and would copy pasta into C2.

    Construct Array syntax is less than ideal, same with AJAX/JSON afaik.

    I want to read the table into memory and search the table for an entry and return related data (like a database). What is the best way to achieve this in C3?

  • is there a way to search through tutorials and I am not seeing it? all you can do is sort by difficulty, written/video or language.

    you used to be able to search through them. I know you can use Google to search, but an on site search would be much more preferable!

  • Does WebRTC benefit from this or is it something else entirely?

  • thanks GeorgeZaharia that might do the trick actually..

    but like you said, I would also be interested in knowing how to do any angle. R0J0hound if you are interested in taking a look? thanks!

  • GeorgeZaharia well it seems like all I need to do is to rotate the image (not the sprite) to the correct angle, then I can size it from there. But I'm not sure how to do that. Probably that Paster plugin does it maybe?

  • GeorgeZaharia link should work now.. sorry.. first time posting GoogleDrive link..

  • GeorgeZaharia I updated the link..

  • see .c3p

    I have a sprite of a circle and another sprite showing part of that circle being lit up. When its a perfect circle I can rotate the light and it looks good.

    However, I want to distort the circle to encompass different sized boxes but I can't distort it at different angles. perhaps this isn't even possible?

    thanks!

    NEW link should work!
