  • We don't want to make Construct 2 in to a HTML page editor - a game creator for the canvas element alone is our primary goal. There are lots of other tools for helping you write HTML code, and they're very different to how Construct 2 works!

  • I don't think ideas are actually worth much - it's the actual game made from the idea which is important.

    Two game devs can have the exact same idea and come up with completely different games. One might be really fun too, and the other not so much. The idea didn't really decide any of how the game works, what it looks like, if it's fun, etc.

  • Oops, caught copying and pasting too quickly again. Thanks, fixed for next build.

  • After browsing the C2 forum history that seemed the overall consensus.

    Just a few weeks ago we had no manual. If you're looking at old posts you're probably reading the "there's no manual" consensus, but now it's largely in place and I think that makes the situation much better!

    GM has a significantly different UI and workflow. The 'event' system is completely different (and very basic compared to Construct 2's events), and C2 has no scripting short of using the SDK. However, I suppose you could carry over the general principles of logic, coding and game engines, which is of course universally applicable!

    I'd recommend just using the materials available for Construct 2 to get to grips with it - obviously we'd love stuff like printed books about it, but we're just not big enough yet for anyone to take that on board.

  • Sorry, you can't modify the layout size - the SDK is relatively limited at the moment, since we're pushed for time so have only added the bare minimum necessary for the official features. Hopefully we'll expand it in future, but I wouldn't hold your breath, we have a long todo list for the user side of things, let alone the SDK...

  • Thanks for getting in touch Andrew, I sent you an email!

  • Is it the same as this bug?

  • jobf - you could try installing Chrome Frame for Internet Explorer. It enables Chrome to run certain web pages in IE, and Construct 2 supports it. You can install it without admin permissions too. I think that is true of the Google Chrome browser itself too, actually!

  • Try Construct 3
