  • Wow, what a moron. He seems to completely miss the ethics of what he's done in his reply. Have you contacted the author of that 8bitrocket article you linked to? They seemed to want contact from you.

    Ultimately I guess there's nothing you can do: you basically can't (or it's too much effort to) get the dupe taken offline, nor stop people playing it. I think your best route is to contact the author of that article - and anywhere else you can find it getting mentioned - and tell them about the situation, and that you're angry this game is a shameless rip and that it's getting attention instead of your game. Hopefully the authors will be sympathetic and replace the article about the copy with an article about your original game, which is what you deserve.

  • No, Construct only compiles under Visual Studio.

  • It returns NULL. So obviously you cannot then dereference it.

  • It's identical to moving the object the given number of pixels along the X and Y axes, testing an ordinary overlap, then moving it back again.

  • As I understand it, FRAPS is highly optimised to record video at the highest framerate possible - so if you're working in realtime, it would be a much better idea than taking screencaps every frame (which you can't do via an object in Construct anyway).

  • Those questions read like a psychological examination dressed up in fancy artwork. That seems very weird, especially in return for prizes.

  • OK, let us know if you get your PSP

    How long do you have to spend earning your 4 points a day? What do you actually do to earn them? Because I can still pay with my time...

  • I'm wondering how a photo of cardboard boxes constitutes proof that they will be sent out to anyone, or that they even contain anything worthwhile, or who these people who have already received things are, and whether or not they are hired to stir up the hype, or why a company feels it necessary to prove their legitimacy by publishing photos of warehouses, or how long they will stay in business...

    Basically, I've seen these types of schemes before and they're never as good as they seem, remember the "free ipod" craze? It's just new ways to make people look at marketing without thinking they're looking at marketing.

    Unless I am over-cynical and everyone's gonna be getting free PSPs for watching YouTube while I sit here and complain

  • You can just use a screen recording app - FRAPS is a good one designed for DirectX applications.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Look at the definitions in the header file. It's an __int64, so in theory it can hold two pointers in a 32-bit system, but you really shouldn't do that. Pointers have no meaning whatsoever in events and therefore should not be involved in the event engine at all.

  • [quote:k566pdl3]Lockerz is the place to go to buy the coolest stuff at the lowest prices, watch exclusive video, discover new music, play the hottest games ... Redeem PTZ at the PTZ Place for incredible prizes, great products and dream experiences ... a Lockerz community of cool, stylish, cutting-edge people who love to buy great brands

    Sounds dubious to me. Sounds like "earn fake money for looking at adverts all day and convincing your friends to do the same". The invented currency is only redeemable with them... so they can give you yet more branding and marketing in return for looking at branding and marketing!

    Clever ploy. I'd stay away personally.
