  • There is no option for preloading, you can preload assets into memory, but you cannot have events preload.

    Instead of preloading, have the layout start with a non-transparent layer on top of everything. That layer is basically a loading screen, once everything is done generating, set the layer to invisible.

    I use a global layer that I fade in on pressing the button, and fade out once everything in the next layout is done. With the fading it looks pretty smooth.

    There is also this, but I don´t know if it covers your case. I´ve never used it.

  • Construct 3 build service, cordova, phonegap

  • It has to be done with a user action (touch, click). There is no way around it since browsers want the "user permission" for it. Though I think you could make it so any click will request fullscreen.

  • This should work

    .

  • Would construct 3 be fine for mobile games (in terms of performance) as still I have not heard of any successful mobile game made with construct 3.

    Performance is good, don´t worry too much about it.

    I read many articles written by Ashley regarding some updates which will make construct 3 better than 2 in terms of performance. But he also said that it will take some time. Is the task completed? Will it be beneficial also for mobile platform?

    Yes and yes. Just make sure you use the construct 3 runtime. It should be default with a new project.

    My only-earning will be thorough admob. Will it be fine?

    Fine in terms of what? Don´t expect any substantial returns unless you can get a lot of users.

    It is said that construct 3 can be run anywhere. Can I use my ipad for that? What would happen if my net gets disconnected in between?

    Yes it runs anywhere, also on your ipad. Construct generally runs offline, you have to reconnect every week once though to confirm your subscription. Also obviously, if you are offline you cannot use cloud saving.

    There is online support for making android apk files for construct 3 projects. Is there such support for ios? (I may be wrong)

    For ios, you need a mac with xcode to build your project. The process for ios is generally more complicated compared to android.

  • If it really is just about sharing it with friends, use what AllanR wrote

    And you can export for HTML, upload it to a website, open it in Safari and save to Home screen.

  • you can also use remote preview if you just want to test it out for free.

    And you can export for HTML, upload it to a website, open it in Safari and save to Home screen. This works really well - and the price is right (free if you already have a web site).

    Indeed but there is sadly no guarantee that it will behave exactly the same as a regular app.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Fair enough. I'm excited either way, but I'll have to wait until these maps drop to convert my current project. :)

  • what would be the benefit of having it be it's own block?

    I don´t see why such a map would need to be created during runtime with individual actions, rather than just beeing there.

    i think it will just be for better visual, since its integrated into the new function system

    But it isn´t really, if you have to create it in an "on start of layout" event with individual actions.

  • Just to clarify something

    + On start of layout -> Create function map "color" -> Map "color" string "Red" to RedFunction

    Wouldn´t it make more sense (and be more neat) to have that feature similar to the new function feature. Like a block that you add where you can define this rather than having to be created and populated in an event?

  • Actually not sure about that, maybe with the drawing canvas plugin?

  • Don´t check for "on collision" as it won´t trigger like that. You can just put the "destroy" below the "create object"

    Also I recommend using a function for this. Functions are love!
