The more I think about this the more I'm worried that it won't be doable... Would love to get some feedback!

Here's what I am planning:

1. My app will run online

2. Users can upload any size .png or .tiff image

3. The image will scale to fit whatever screen they are using

4. Users can type in a message and move it around the image

5. Users can then re-save their image, WITH the text in the appropriate place

I seem to recall there being a way in Construct 3 to capture an image from the screen. But, what if the user uploaded an image that was significantly larger than their screen? Wouldn't the capture reduce the quality of the image? (Since the image had to be scaled down.)

Word Dad (worddad.com) is a free daily word game where you drag Scrabble tiles to form words. Solve the puzzle and earn a dad joke!

Players can form ANY words and I thought it would be fun to provide definitions for the words they create. (Including funny definitions!) My game dictionary has 14,586 words, so I got some help from chatGPT!

Here are a few sample definitions:

those (pron.): distant objects you can't quite recall the name of

old (adj.): what your kids call you every time you forget something

oiled (adj.): the state of your hair after you've used too much product

lanes (n.): where you're always stuck behind someone slower

pouch (n.): a kangaroo's version of cargo pants

push (v): how your cat confirms gravity using the items on your shelf

I recently released a daily word game (worddad.com) but I'm having some strange bugs related to the Load/Save feature. It then occurred to me that I'm very confused about how this feature actually *works*.

- During the game I do a Save every time players move a letter tile

- I also do a separate save of the current date

- At the start of the game I compare the current date to the saved date. If they are the same then I do a Load. (If a Load exists.)

When the game loads is it loading *everything*, including the game's code? I feel like I can make a change to the game's code but I don't see it because I'm using a Load from before I made the change. But I'm pretty sure that I've had the exact opposite happen, too. I make a change, launch the game which Loads a version from earlier in the day. But the code change shows up.

Confused.

So what exactly is getting Saved?

I'm going to post a quick reply for closure.

I filed a bug report on this issue: github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/7296

Ashley closed it with this comment: "The underlying Clipboard API works in Chrome, but a known issue is currently preventing it from working in the Android WebView. I would guess when viewing in the Facebook app it is using the Android WebView instead of the real Chrome browser so is running in to that bug. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do until Google fix the issue."

So the problem only seems to happen when someone accesses my game from the Facebook link. There are two player workarounds:

1. Type the URL for the game directly into the browser

2. After clicking the link, one can click the "..." at the top right corner of the Facebook browser and select "open in external browser". Then the clipboard will work.

Darn, I just got another person saying that the game won't load due to Malwarebytes. Not sure if this is something that I can report like a bug or not. Does anyone know?

It's not clear what you're doing. Are you using the Share plugin or the Clipboard plugin?

I am ONLY using the Clipboard object. I have at least two players, using Android phones, who are reporting that the Clipboard object only works if they type the URL for the game into a browser window. If they follow the game link on Facebook, however, the Clipboard object doesn't work. (It doesn't copy anything.)

I filed a bug report and attached a small sample project.

Thanks. He's a pretty cautious person so I doubt that he will even click on that link.

Has anyone else been getting reports about Malwarebytes? I didn't see many mentions of it when I did a search. Maybe it's not a huge problem.

My game is only online. Some of my Android users are saying that sharing isn't working for them. I'll check to see which browser they are using.

For right now, I'm simply grabbing the text in a text box and copying it to memory using the clipboard object. Then users can paste it into Facebook, e-mail, or wherever. (Similar to what Wordle is doing on PC.)

I recently released my daily word game (worddad.com) and one user is saying that when he tries to launch the game he gets this:

He's the only one, so far, to report this problem. Any suggestions?

Same for me. The message is pretty cryptic. I'm not finding a lot of information about: "ES2015 support".

Hopefully, this is just a temporary glitch?
