Ask a Question / What are the pros and cons of these two new options in Stencyl 3.5?

« on: September 03, 2018, 10:49:11 am »

I see that Stencyl 3.5 includes these two new options, and I see their brief descriptions as well, but I would also like to know the advantages and disadvantages of enabling or disabling each of these options.

Windows / Mac / Flash / HTML5 / Super Gem Shooter

« on: October 12, 2017, 05:24:38 pm »

I always loved the excellent mechanics of the original Puzzle Bobble game.
It is super fun and was a good challenge for me. So, I decided to make it:

Ask a Question / What is happening with private releases and the build server?

« on: January 02, 2017, 12:07:24 pm »

With absolute respect, I want to mention this:

Beyond Stencyl 3.4

- We'll continue our focus on fixing bugs and stabilizing the app. This is what we and our users believe is our best course of action.

Almost a month without new released fixes, and the build server does not work. Strange way to start the year. This situation is very frustrating and disconcerting and can cause a lot of uncertainty to the users who pay for this software.
   
@Jon, could you please tell us what is happening?
And please, for the love of God, could you avoid this kind of so unfavorable situations?
Respectfully, I await your response.
   
Happy New Year 2017.

« on: October 15, 2016, 08:16:23 pm »

Coward Knight

This is a coward knight who is unable to defend himself and doesn't even know how to use his sword. He only knows how to run and jump like a scared child. Now he is trapped and needs your help to escape the dangerous monsters that inhabit the dark dungeons. Can you help this coward?

You can play it here: http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/35398

Controls:
   

   
LEFT key to walk.
RIGHT key to run faster.
UP or SPACE key to jump. (hold for a higher jump)
   
(Holding the jump button you can choose the jump height and destroy multiple enemies/thrown objects by falling on them.)

Suggestion Archives / Show unread posts of the Issue Tracker when click on "New Posts" in the Forum.

« on: December 22, 2015, 10:21:21 pm »

I think it is important that all users can be easily and quickly informed of each new bug or suggestion, so it would be good to show also the unread posts of the Issue Tracker when clicking on New Posts in the Forum.

Suggestion Archives / Adding a block to get the position of a given item in a list.

« on: October 18, 2015, 11:58:16 pm »

Lists are a widely used feature, so it is important to have the possibility to handle them with versatility.

In Stencyl, there is a block to get the item at given position in a list: 
But, strangely, there isn't this block to get the position of a given item in a list: 

I suggest adding this block to the Palette, I think it is a useful block. Sometimes I have needed it.

Completed / Adding to the draw blocks the option to choose the layer on which to draw.

« on: October 18, 2015, 11:06:20 pm »

You know that people often ask how to draw behind the actors. This common issue would be solved by adding to the draw blocks the option to choose the layer on which to draw, in this simple way:

Suggestion Archives / Standard "Cut" option in the contextual menu when righ click on a block.

« on: October 14, 2015, 07:11:05 am »

I suggest adding the standard "Cut" option in the contextual menu when righ click on a block because it is a classic useful option:

Suggestion Archives / "x-center" and "y-center" options in the block that set the actor coordinates.

« on: October 11, 2015, 08:58:37 am »

Maybe there are still many people who don't know the Issue Tracker, so I post this suggestion here, too.

I am completely sure that the simple addition of the "x-center" and "y-center" options in the block to set the actor coordinates would save us from having to frequently do a lot of tedious combinations of blocks:

                     

It is really weird that this block does not include such essential options.

Suggestion Archives / Prevent installation/uninstallation if Stencyl is already installed and RUNNING.

« on: September 16, 2015, 01:44:28 am »

I think the Stencyl installer/uninstaller should detect that Stencyl is running, alert about it, and prevent the installation or uninstallation until the user closes Stencyl.

Fixed Bugs (3.x) / Animations can not be selected. (Build 8656)

« on: September 03, 2015, 05:17:31 pm »

Build 8656

The only animation that can be selected is the first one. If I click in any other animation, it automatically comes back to the first animation.

Another user has reported this problem, too: http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,43774.0.html
