  • I disagree, I think motion blur is an important addition if the graphics hardware can afford it. Games tend to run with no motion blur at all, effectively being a series of very fast slides, and luckily your brain is clever enough to see motion from this unnatural sequence of images. Add motion blur (which happens with real film), and a still image also contains information about motion, and the brain can extract more information about what is happening on-screen. Try playing a game at 20fps with motion blur off then on to make the difference obvious. When it's on, the low framerate is much more tolerable, because instead of seeing a still image for 50ms, you're looking at an image with motion information.

    In fact, motion blur is a form of antialiasing, but through time rather than through space. Therefore anything to make it more usable is a good idea.

  • Did you enable '3D layering' for the layer the box is on? From 0.99, 3D features require 3D layering enabled.

  • Possibly, I didn't know about that algorithm when I originally did motion blur. It's a true temporal antialiasing system so even things moved by the mouse are motion blurred, which could be tricky with a velocity buffer system.

  • Maybe some sound related events also involved allocation of VRAM, or a strange bug caused it. The best way to solve the issue is if you can reproduce it in a new .cap, or set up your current .cap to immediately reproduce the problem, then post that.

  • Hehe, that's kinda cool. But obviously it's possible to fake a 3D effect with a 2D engine, ultimately there aren't enough tools in Construct for a game with 3D gameplay (although 2D gameplay with 3D graphics is possible to some extent with Z elevation and 3D meshes).

  • A simpler solution that might work:

    + Mouse clicked

    + Asteroid is overlapping some object

    + Pick a random asteroid

    -> Destroy asteroid

    This way if you click and two asteroids are overlapping, it picks a random one and runs the actions on just that.

  • It's a good idea, but in the meantime you can fake a break by something like:

    + For each Sprite

    + Global 'break' = 0

    -> Actions

    -> To break: set 'break' to 1

  • If you hear hooves, assume it's horses, not zebras The error message gives a message about VRAM, so it's most likely that. Sound issues might be unrelated side effects.
