Of course a Fast lopp. I don't why I didn't think of this. Thank you marbenx, i'll give this a go.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I have been away form Fusion for about 1 and half to two years now and a lot of my knowledge is very rusty. Myself and a team of 5 are learning Fusion again and are looking to make a birds eye view Pirate game. We have a tile (which has 4 frames of animation) which is 90x90 in size. Currently I have just duplicated an Active Object but im certain this isn't the best way to go about duplicating the tile. Is there a better way?

Quote from Decal

Maybe a web server that you host with an SQL server.
Then you just create an application where you fetch data from the web server using the "Get Object"

I have access to a web server and SQL database so that's a start. I don't know the first thing about SQL though. I need to store an image which needs to be updated on a weekly basis too. Is that possible with SQL or is it just text?

Edit. I have two options, MySQL and MySQL Server will I need MySQL Server.

Edit 2: Alternatively, would it be possible to for an app to grab a hosted image from the internet to display on the app? This is pretty much all I need to be honest.

Hi All,

I want to create a small app for my 6-a-side football team. The idea is to show the latest fixtures, results, the team line up (so we know who is playing and who will be sub), league position and top goalscorers.

The idea is all team members have a copy of the app and I can update it either from my master app or a pc.

What do you think something like this will require? Do you think it would be doable?

Thanks

I personally see no need for Click Team to step in with this now. Fusion Academy (combined with Nivram's site, AlmightyZentaco and the official Clickteam guides/examples section) have done a mighty fine job of providing great examples of how easy Fusion 2.5 can be to develop your own games and apps. Plus with the frequency and sheer volume of content available at Fusion Academy and all the others, there isn't a need for me to look anywhere else.

Hi All,

I have a bit of a boggle with Android Resolutions. I'm working on an app which I have set the frame size as 768x1280 (portrait) and to "Fit inside and adjust window size". When testing this out on my Galaxy S7 it works perfectly fine, no faults at all, I was happy as Larry.

Then when I was in work my colleague had a Galaxy tab which I believe has resolution of 2048x1536. When running my app on this it is all off. The screen cuts off and does not show the entire frame. I have downloaded an Android Emulator on my PC to test my app and have replicated the result.

Can anyone at all suggest what a resolution that has worked best for them for all devices?

I made a game a long time ago now which worked on all devices in landscape mode by using the frame size and window size of 1363x768 and "Stretch to fill" This no longer works either. Now its all stretched :(.

Thanks for your help.

I have now awarded this project to somebody so please ignore.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I need a very simple swinging vine animation pretty much identical to that seen in Pitfall on the Atari 2600 (check out youtube if you don't know what I mean). Can someone help?

Thank you.

I have attached a screenshot of the code. I have tried saving it to my desktop and to other locations such as my documents and the file where I save my .mfa files.

Hi All,

So I have created a level editor for my app which is going to allow me to position objects to save and load on demand. I have copied the tutorial exactly. When I save my file, the file showing as 0bytes within "Recent Files" in file explorer. Then when I double click my computer says the file does not exist. What is going on? Has anyone seen anything like this?

I'm beginning to think this is not an issue with fusion but with my PC.

Thanks

HMM. Bizarre. Perry, it appears to have worked this time. I guess I had something filled out incorrectly. Thank you.

I have tried that, this is nuts. Im going to create a VM and see if I can put a different OS on there to see if it will work.

Hi All,

How are you guys generating your Android Keystore file?

I used to use the Keystore file generator created by Clickteam but I currently cannot use this as whenever I try to create a .keystore file it generates a file with 0bytes and is invisible within the file location I set. Has anyone every encountered this?

Thanks.

Thanks Schrodinger. Just reading it now.

Hi All,

Does anyone have any helpful on the what functions do what for the String Parser object? I understand, set source string, add delimiter, but other functions are not too clear about what they do. Is there a guide?

Thanks.

Hello all,

A friend of mine very kindly tidied up some code for me. I have torn this apart to understand each bit and even managed to add my own bits, however I am completely stumped at the positioning of the Active "Letter" objects.

I have set it so that there is always 24 letter objects on screen, this should contain the same number of characters to the answer and the remainder which are random characters. I know this has worked thanks to the debugger. I can see 24 letter objects being created on screen, however this breaks how the letters are positioned. I have attached screenshots of anything I have felt will be useful.

How do I best approach fixing this, I am certain it is something to do with the position letters equation but as my maths is awful it is difficult to know where to begin.

Thank you

Hi Dan

I'll give this a try when I get in tonight, thank you.

If you can kindly see from my .mfa. You can see I have massively over complicated this. Plus all the letters are off when they are entered in the empty spaces. I would greatly appreciate any help from anyone. Thank you.

Hi Volnaiskra,

I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for.

I have attached a screenshot. All the letters on the keyboard are individual Active objects. In order to have the relevant letter place in the first available empty slot (they are empy when application is run) as shown in the image i'm having to use a group of events for each letter. I'd be happy to provide you the save file if you wish? If you have ever played a logo quiz game on your phone then you can see what I am aiming for.

Thanks again.

Thank you Volnaiskra, I will take a look when I get home from work and let you know
