  • I'll probably use OneDrive as the students are automatically given an account tied to their education accounts.

    Cheers

  • Not a bad idea, might have to use it.

    Thanks Jobel.

  • Due to the current shift to online-only learning around the world, I'm currently designing ways to teach my units with Construct 3 (thanks for the extra education codes too btw).

    This will run as a week-to-week unit, with each week covering a new aspect of a game that we'll be making together. I'll need to record myself building the game and provide unit outlines and all that.

    However, what I would like to be able to do is assess each student's work on a weekly basis to see if they were able to complete that week's task. Now, in our current educational portal, students can upload their .cp3 files, then I can download them and open them in C3 which will be fine. But I thought it would be cool if there was a way for my students to easily upload their weekly tasks to a private server that could only be accessed by us. Not only could I then play it through my browser (saving me the hassle of downloading/opening projects), but it would let other students play each other's projects and see how each one has interpreted the learning task.

    Is this something that can be easily set up? I'm kind of under the pump right now to build a bunch of units across subject areas, so I won't be able to spend days trying to get this working.

    Should I give up on this idea, or is it doable?

    Cheers

  • Awesome job!

    I did check my current licenses (I have two lots) and neither have increased to 100. Would this be because I had an active access code running up until a few minutes ago?

  • As a teacher, I'm currently in the process of coming up with online modules that students can do from home due to the current issue with covid-19. I received an email from Yoyo games a few days ago that stated that each of my educational licenses will now support 5 seats while home isolation is a thing around the world. However, GMS is not something I would teach remotely as there's so many things that students struggle with when learning it for the first time.

    On the other hand, I feel that C3 would be much more suited to teaching through an online module as there's less of an initial learning curve as behaviours help students get started a lot easier and the interface is less confusing for students. However, I only have enough licenses to run seat rotations, and don't have the budget to purchase a license for each student.

    I was wondering if there's been any talk of Construct matching Yoyo's offer to increase the seat quotas for a time period?

    Cheers

  • LukeW , thanks I'm gonna try it out :))

    Sounds good. With the ground, I added a semi transparent section to the bottom of the sand and rocks (50% opacity brush from memory) so that it looks more like they are disappearing into the water. Otherwise it looks like the land and water are too separate.

    Wait, is there a plugin or a behavior to achieve that moving water effect?

    It's just the water effect. You can access them in the properties bar.

    Also added a sine behaviour on the opacity to get that fade in/out effect.

  • Think this might work (using the water effect on a separate layer)

  • As below. It's a combination of large tiles and sprites for certain interactive parts. Really scratching my head about how to give the water a bit of life, as right now it's completely static.

    Things like the rocks will be separate sprites, so I can animate them no worries, but the tiles are another matter. Suppose I could create an animated sprite of the water edge an overlay it on the image, but I feel like that's not ideal.

    Any suggestions?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Ah I see, the more you zoom in the more specific it will go. Just zoom out...

    Just tried that. While it works to a degree, you have to be zoomed out a fair way just to get close to a whole number. Found it even trickier, though that might be on account of my terrible eyesight.

    Cheers

  • yeah, just did that. Was hoping there was already something out.

    Can not for the life of me find an option that stops this from happening.
