  • The values are indeed saved locally on your (user's) device. The game client is also downloaded locally on each user's PC, and run using the capabilities of each user's system, even though they got it from a website.

    You'll need some way to communicate the data of interest to your server PC, and a way to get data from the server. A common way to do this with a web server is through AJAX, PHP, and MySQL.

    Another way to do it (probably not what you're looking for) is to have peers connect and communicate directly with each other (through a host), through something like the multiplayer plugin. However data normally isn't persistent with this method either, unless you have a way to keep a dedicated host up. The dedicated host would handle storing, retrieving, and syncing data with connected peers.

  • That's not what layouts are for, just make a separate project.

    It might be possible by passing a parameter in the link of the new URL, which the game can read and navigate to the correct layout on start of the default layout.

    It's addressed in the section about transparency.

  • Disable your main inputs event group when settings layer is active, and enable a separate inputs group that only pick/interacts with objects on the settings layer. Don't have to worry about other layers at all.

  • It's literally not the only way, bullet will work fine. You'll just have to keep track of and handle acceleration, deceleration, and adding vectors yourself, which is what the 8 direction behavior already does for you.

    Iirc there was a built in asteroids example, moving in space is similar to moving on ice.

  • Have you tried 8 direction with a very low deceleration?

  • Even if offline, playing non preloaded sounds the first time can still result in a delay as the audio is loaded into memory from disk.

    The delay may not be large enough to be noticable for a small file though.

  • Inputs should have additional conditions to specify and pick the object with the relevant peer id.

  • If your entire layout is visible, turning on unbounded scrolling in project properties may be desirable.

  • My main concern is that construct is not a robust text editor. I'd balk at working with any sort of significant amounts of text from within construct, so I really appreciate the ability to import and utilize project files.

  • You'll want to use the advanced random plugin to either generate a permutation table, which allows for non repeating sets of numbers, weighted probability tables also from the advanced random plugin, or simply save and check to compare the previous prefab with the current one and reroll if they are the same.

    A more robust solution could use these methods together.

    The section regarding transparency applies here.

  • Your controls are not using the 8 direction behavior.

    You're just moving the sprite set amounts of pixels, which does not take into account solids.

  • The physics behavior is not great for precision or deterministic/repeatable motion. It's either framerate independent and not perfectly consistent, or framerate dependent but more consistent.

    There are always manual ways to simulate physics with math though. After all, the physics behavior is a simulation itself. Depending on the scope of what you're trying to do, the solution could be actually much simpler than a full physics environment simulation.
