    Although it's possible to create malware programs in Construct, I would strongly advise against it. Anyone can do it, yes, but if it becomes an issue it could damage the reputation of Construct. You certainly shouldn't come to the forum announcing that you've done it, especially if you're heading towards doing anything illegal. So please keep this type of post off the forum. Topic locked.

  • Interesting, looks fairly similar to Construct in some ways. Can't get my head round the UI though.

  • Graphics cards don't really have a 'set pixel' command - they do everything with vertices. You can set a pixel, but it is very slow!

  • Wow... that is very nice! I'd say multicore is an essential feature, otherwise you simply won't get the performance out of it, and quad cores are becoming more common, so a 4x speedup would be great. The resolution is a bit blocky, but the blur covers it up really nicely.

    Also, why hijack a sprite mesh? If you're using set distort map actions in the event sheet editor, that's going to hammer the performance unnecessarily. Why not have your plugin draw the mesh itself?

  • Woah, that's an epic idea for a game...

  • Thanks for the report, I didn't know about several of those slowdowns... you must have the biggest .cap anyone's ever created!

    Unfortunately as you point out, it's likely many of the deficiencies will have to wait until Construct 2...

  • Awesome

  • Download Construct 0.99.92 (unstable)

    This is an

    unstable build. You can help Construct's development by downloading it, trying it out, testing and reporting bugs. If you have projects you want to work on without possible bugs getting in the way, stick to stable builds.

    Link to previous build (0.99.91) changelog

    Not many changes - but I think the event sheet editor memory leak is fixed. Try out this build and let me know - is it any better?

    Changelog

    Event sheet editor

    [FIX] Memory leak should be fixed

    Runtime

    [CHANGE] A for loop from 5 to 0 will now loop as 5,4,3,2,1,0 instead of looping infinitely

    [FIX] A crash that could sometimes occur when you use the font object

  • HobbyPress have written and published a book on Construct - 'Practical Tips & Techniques'. That's kinda cool I guess, so maybe check it out and see if you think it looks good

  • Mary Jane has set up an excellent site for Russian Construct users! If you're Russian check it out, or maybe tell your Russian friends

  • I think I should make this a new stable build to replace 0.99.62, even if 0.99.91 isn't perfect, it's probably still way ahead.

    General agreement?

  • According to Google translate people are being pretty nasty in a different language, which isn't really cool. Threads not in English will be locked especially if people are using a different language to insult people behind their backs.

    Anyways, this is really boring, if you want to argue on the internet you came to the wrong site. I'm not taking sides, I'm just closing this, because the whole thing is really stupid and nobody here seems to be dealing with anything well. I honestly don't care to deal with stupid internet arguments so if nobody is being constructive expect to see the post closed off like this. If you hold any bitterness or anger still, after seeing this post closed off, you are still not dealing with it well and need to chill out for a while, because it's not that important, plus I don't care and any subsequent angry posts will also be locked. If you have an issue with how anything is being moderated, at any time, please take it up with PM and I will discuss it with you privately.
