[How do I]Frequently asked questions

Kyatric the link Press/release a key to start/stop sound is 404

helped me a lot!

Great list! I do have one concern though. You link to how to make an MMO with C2. But the link only has replies from people who say it is not possible. Is this intentional?

Tekniko: Pretty much yes.

It's not "absolutely" impossible, but it's pretty hard, and generally people asking are beginners who have no idea about the reality of the work it represents.

It's a kind of "reality" check.

Oh I can agree with you on that. I have spent the last year trying to make an MMO. From Hero Engine to Genesis2D, its just not feasable to build an mmo. For people who can't accept this, I recommend making a few games, on your own, so you can gain experience and maybe some cash. Then reconsider the MMO thing.

I'd like to recommend these great solutions by Sqiddster and R0J0hound respectivly. It's from the same thread, so you decide if you want to merge them or keep them separate. Cheers!

Nimtrix: Thank you a lot, links added.

If you have more, keep them coming <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Sure thing Kyatric, can't think of any at this moment, but I'll keep it in mind. <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I'm sure there are lots of great examples that should be on that list.

the making a title/menu isn't available, at least the link posted in where you linked, the video and the tutorial arn't showing for some reason. Any update on this would be greatly appreciated.

never mind, it just won't work in firefox

wizopizo: Indeed there is a bug that makes it so that embedded youtube videos don't display correctly in the Tutorials when using FireFox.

For informations about making a title screen/menu you can also check my Asteroid clone in less than 100 events tutorial (written content, available capx, game in the arcade).

Also if you use the "Edit post" option from the dropdown menu "Post options", you can avoid double posting which is always nicer in forums.

Kyatric Please put this example on the list if you wish!
