I have to throw in my two cents here

I would say the majority of people use platform behavior for players

especially people new to construct

it would be confusing for input to be disabled by default

if anything it should be a checkbox in properties

i think dx and opengl have software rendering implementations

also, the builtin runtime support will only be two runtimes

but c2 will be made openended for any enterprising users to create runtimes for other platforms

Yes, when choosing a new action, at the the top of the window listing the possible actions, there are tabs to choose actions related to behaviors applied to the object

Hey ash,

I haven't messed around much with the new box2d physics, and not at all on the new version, but I do remember people saying it caused caps to stop working.

so if the goal is for a safe autoupdate, maybe the physics should be reverted back to the old version, or fixed. I think the problems all centered around hinges, but that question would be better answered by the ones who were using it

Search for the word "rotate" on this page and you can see the actual source:

very basic example, more of a proof of concept

here it is being used to control a behavior

download pygame from here: http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml

and copy the pygame folder to the python directory of construct

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/pyjoy/pyjoy.cap

also, for anyone wondering, if you have a 360 controller, they're still dx compatible so you can still test this cap. if it moves at all, it's using directx input

in answer to your subquestions, ask many many questions, that's the best way to learn, if you're asking 3 questions per day or something, you can make yourself a question thread, but one question a day is pretty normal for an anxious learner

also, there's a chat link at the top of this forum for the irc

I got pygame directx controls to work on an older version a while ago.

if no one's posted a working solution by this weekend, I'll find that cap and post it

Does the reporting feature work when I click the little exclamation mark?

Also, what's the point of these bots that compose random nonsensical nonsense sentences?

Is it some primitive ai trying to communicate, or am I supposed to be intrigued by some of the randpm words and thus compelled to click a link?
