  • I've taught 8 to 14 years old Construct 3. They've always enjoyed it.

    However, it may not be called a Programming course. They may not learn 'Programming language' in this course, nor would they understand or write a syntax-based programming after this course. BUT. this course is rather a pre-requisite to programming for them in the future.

    Construct can greatly help them get excited about Programming / coding / Mathematics as they directly learn: Problem-solving skills, logical thinking, understand how events are handled, trouble-shooting, variables, data types, if/else, loops, functions, etc.

    If they can learn that (above) in a fun way, which thanks to Construct 3 they will for sure, then they're all set to becoming a programmer of future, whether you tell them or not. They'll love programming, or learning a programming language in the future themselves.

    So, I think the course could be "Game Development for Kids" with all its learning outcomes related to programming as Construct 3 does develop all the skills required for Programming.

  • Just a quick survey, especially for those who have tried a few, like Admob, Chartboost, Adcolony, etc.

    Which one have you settled in for? and why?

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Yes. Experiencing the same thing. Apparently, several users telling them the same thing on the r226 Release page's comment section is not enough. Despite the fact that Ashley and other Developer(s) do read those.

    They say you should file a Bug Report.

    It's like telling someone "hey, your pants zip is open.." and they respond by saying, "yeah ok whatever, Email me!"

    LOL.. like seriously, I don't have time to file a Bug report.. they made a blunder, it's not just a "bug". They should have immediately checked this out with just a few 'comments' there, because we'd have said exact same thing in the bug report anyway.

    Alright, my rants are over, sorry fred. Yes, myself and many others are facing the same issue. Just revert to r225 until it's resolved.

  • Thanks Ashley.

    Thank you so much — That really was useful ! Especially Event sheet tips! I think that's the core problem in my case... I do have a huge list of actions for every event and the same for sub-events! I must reduce the repetitive ones and organise them.

    Thanks for sharing your experience... I'll keep the tips in mind. Especially publishing to newer Android versions, that's quite true.

    So hopefully, optimising everything will reduce the heat and usage drastically.

    Cheers!

  • I'd suggest having another boolean that says: "wasTapped".

    If you receive a tap (when beatToTap is also True), set wasTapped to True. (otherwise it will remain False)

    At the end of each beat, check* if wasTapped is True, if it was, then good, make it false for the next beat, AND if it remained False, you've missed the beat.

    *You can use a Function to 'checkTapped' (or just a sub-event after the time-delay, depending on how you've programmed the timing)

  • Hi, I really want to use these:

    https://codepen.io/rikschennink/pen/rpNGyy

    https://codepen.io/vastrideside/pen/LYEedXK

    Is there a way to bring exactly those in C3 by somehow importing the CSS provided?

    Thank you

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I'm not sure if this will work, but what if you make sure if it's none of those devices (not iOS, not Android, not Chrome, etc), if none of them, then it's highly likely Amazon Tablet?

  • > Also, why do you use full 1080p background in a mobile phone? I'm just curious.

    Many flagship phone have higher than 1080 resolution. The OnePlus 7 pro is 1440 x 3120 (the normal OnePlus 7 is 1080), with a 90hz refresh. Games that let me turn on high framerate mode definitely heat up my phone more than those that don't.

    Thanks oosyrag ! That means it could really be one of the main reasons! I use OnePlus 7 Pro too at 90Hz, Maybe I should first try setting the limit to 60Hz on my phone to give it a test.. Otherwise, your solution of capping it. Although it does heat up on other phones, but I think since mine heat up most, this is definitely one of the reasons.

  • That's why we have subevents.

    Surely we have sub-events, but that's not the reason we have them.

    The screenshot was a minimal example, a very simple one. I should have posted something like this:

    Again, I know it's 'possible' but not with single sub-event, not even with multiple same-level sub-events because it needs to follow that order.

    So for a long series of actions (especially with wait actions) if we have to skip several multiple actions with different conditions each, That would require MANY layers of sub-events... that's not efficient, and doesn't look right, nor easy.

    Now imagine the same scenario with that [System] conditional action available. Wouldn't you use it?

  • I know there is a built-in way of adding a condition in between to actions like:

    players < 0? connected = 0 : connected 1

    (condition? if : else)

    However, this is not possible with majority of Actions, like calling a Function, Audio, Tween, Fading, Family properties, etc or any behaviour/plugin actions.

    I feel this small addition can solve this problem:

    If you agree, I have posted a Suggestion here: https://construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-1620

    Please up-Vote if you think it's a good idea. Thanks!
