    Please would it be possible to convert your Paster and Canvas objects over?

  • Fervir this looks very good.

  • > Set system time scale to 0 for pausing.

    >

    the problem with that is that i cannot use any actions that i required for changing options in te pause menu.

    You set the menu objects timescale to 1 then they are not affected when system timescale is set to 0.

  • I use web fonts so i'd really like this but its not possible. I think there is a feature suggestion and if i recall it wont happen until the new c3 runtime.

  • My game uses Webfonts, performance is absolutely fine so long as you only set the text once and not every tick.

  • Paster and Canvas plugins can't be converted because the C3 sdk still doesnt support graphics yet.

    These are so useful i hope the sdk is updated soon.

  • From the manual, there is an expression to get the size in pixels of the text.

    TextWidth

    TextHeight

    Return the size of the actual text content within the text object's rectangle. Note the Text object must be drawn before these have the correct values. If you set the text then immediately access these expressions, they won't yet have the correct value. Adding a Wait 0.1 seconds action will usually solve this.

    You would then set the size of the text object to this amount.

    set text to "my text"

    wait 0.1

    set text object width to expression get text width

  • Tint 2?

    https://github.com/trueinteractions/tint2

    [quote:8w1loqpi]Tint enables programmers to create desktop applications with JavaScript by utilizing the node runtime with direct access to both native objects (Objective-C Objects and .NET/COM objects) or by using Tint’s built in application object model and API that standardizes GUI components across various operating systems. It’s a light-weight node runtime that integrates the application loop of the target operating system and safely exposes any native OS object needed to build an application.v

    I've heard about this one, but don't know very much about it, but at least it could be a contender. No linux support though.

    It wasnt Tint 2, it was something else. Wish i could find the forum post. It was a few weeks back. I thought to myself, this looks cool, why didnt i know about this alternative to NW before?

  • Very useful thanks.

  • Someone posted in the community a while ago a website (github project) that converted html5 apps into hardware accelerated standalones, apparently it gave similar speeds to nw.js without the huge file size.

    I thought i bookmarked it but for the life of me i cant find it now.

  • I don't think you can paint on the layout like you can in the tilemap object. If all your sprites are the same size you could use a graphics program to put each one onto a single image (spritesheet) in a grid pattern, save it, then import it into the tilemap object and adjust the tilemap cell size to match. Other than that you could make your own lavel editor if you have enough experience.

  • Hi, I've been working on fun sim game since C3 came out. It's isometric but only on one level, no height. My maps are 25x25 tiles in size. I've found thats the limit for my 10 year old computer with all the other sprites needed, and that works fine for my game. Also not having collisions on helps.

    If you wanted to have 256x256 you could store all the info in an array then create enough tiles just to cover the screen then when the screen is scrolled the tiles stay in place but simply change the image of the sprites to the relative position in the array.

    Sorry i don't have a more recent gif, this is quite old now.
