  • So choose-your-own-adventure books/games are second person? Eg. "You go in to the cave... press A to light a match, B to shout etc"

  • AshyRaccoon's method is good for a series of arbitrary numbers, but for the particular sequence 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, you can use (random(5)+1)*100

  • Wouldn't that mean all cinemas buying new 60fps equipment, and therefore raising ticket prices? I'd notice the difference probably, but wouldn't a lot of people just go "huh? it looks the same, why is it more expensive?"

  • i have an annoying small amount of free time ... I need to make tutorials again for it ... remove some half-implemented features, or complete their implementation ... very idiosyncratic, and confusing ... written when I was just beginning to really understand c++, so the code is a mess ... issues will change ... please help me fix it, and bring it into the 1.0. ... thanks everyone for ... reporting those bugs ...I think there's only one or two bugs before it's fully stable

    And we have a synopsis of the Construct project.

  • Deadeye, I don't think so - post a bug and assign it to Davo if you think it's still broke, that's his changelog item.

  • its all shifted from a "let me show you an easy way to do that" feel, to a "whats wrong with you? dont you see how easy this is?" feel.

    I think that's an important one to remember, I myself often forget what it's like to start using a program and not have much idea how to get going with it, and not to assume they know certain things. If anyone posts any really basic questions though, just send them to the tutorials/FAQ page.

  • I think Windows bails you out by ignoring double slashes in a path, but it's best to avoid it if you can.

  • You can use C/C++ in the plugin SDK for Construct - that's what all plugins and behaviors (like Sprite) are already written in. Does that help?

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I think generally this forum is a welcoming and productive community - I try hard to keep it that way and prevent it becoming your typical internet furnace of flaming, while also allowing people to be liberal in what they say. It's a difficult (even contradictory) balancing act, but I won't stop trying, I'm sure it's possible. Most other forums I know either let the flamewars rage (even with admins joining in!) or simply shrug and delete anything borderline, and I don't like those extremes.

    Also I don't buy for a second any of this "he started it" rubbish. If someone is rude to you in real life, the best way to deal with it is keep cool. Think what a third party impartial observer sees - if they see two people shouting each other down, they don't care for either person. If one is getting angry and rude and the other is politely and cooly trying to sort things out, you're obviously going to side with the calm one. It works in real life, and it works on a forum too. I don't see why so many people don't get that and still try to fight fire with fire.

  • You mean you want an edittime plugin to set up a Win32 window message pump?

  • AppPath includes a trailing backslash, eg. C:\Games\MyGameSo that should strictly speaking be: AppPath & "Music\Gears.mp3"

  • I respectfully disagree with your view there. You can clearly see where I was attacked

    I respectfully also disagree, since this sounds like "he did it" to my ears. You could've dealt with it better. But Quazi could also have worded his post better, hence I asked both of you to calm things down. All I'm trying to do is run a forum where threads don't get bogged down in to flamewars, it's too common on the internet.

    [quote:17m6bekc]I posted some ideas, and I think anyone would agree that they have been met with some very fierce (and somewhat puzzling in its ferocity) opposition, but I think a lot of it was due to misunderstanding

    I speak only for myself, but I welcome ideas. I hear a lot of ideas on these forums which is great. But I haven't got anywhere near enough time to even start a lot of these ideas. My way of filtering is to argue against ideas I don't think are viable (and I sit at a feasibility/hours of my time point of view, as I'm sure you gathered!). The best ideas will stand up to skepticism provided they have a well reasoned arguer behind them. That's my view anyway, things tend to get a bit more chaotic with everyone throwing in their two cents

    Anyways I hope you're not discouraged from posting other ideas, I certainly hadn't even thought of sports games at all before your post, so that was an interesting angle to hear. Thanks for the post
