  • Its not really advised to use multiple key presses. Not all keyboards handle them the same way.

  • Wiiu got tired of all the flappy bird clones and decided not to let indies publish without buying a wiiu devkit.

  • Make a variable, call it isUnder.

    When you place that object under another set the variable to 1.

    That way you can use the variable to keep from picking that object.

    object variable "isUnder"=0

    -on object clicked, do fo

    If the variable condition is not met, its not picked.

C2 doesn't optimize code and more especially it doesn't optimize Sheet ROOT events. The more root events you have occuring per tick the more your game will slow down. You will especially notice with older devices.

    > I was surprised after reading this, I tested this in one of my games that have little slowdowns in my tablet when i have a lot of objects in screen (140-160 objects), and 80% of the code is in functions, in another evensheet. I tried to move all the functions to the "game" evensheet, I removed the "Functions" evensheet and i have exactly the same performance.

    Why wouldn't it be the same? You haven't changed anything. Stopping the offending bit of events is what he was getting at.

  • Um, yeah the "gif" part could be an issue.

  • Its really hard not to go full flame when you say your using old hardware, but your users are from a high spec gaming world.

    Wouldn't they use modern machines?

    It doesn't have to be from this decade, but geez half that would be nice.

  • Is it possible to draw a point, or box with zero opacity?

    Kind of like erase, but drawing with zero alpha.

    rgba(0,0,0,0) doesn't seem to do squat, even though getrgba returns that value.

  • "under performs"?

    What are you comparing it to?
