It's no bother, it just sounds a bit strange and I thought I might be a bug. If it is, you should report it in the bugs forum so it can be fixed.

(PS: Make sure you have a look the "how to report bugs" thread first if you do)

No idea why you're getting errors with the example. Try downloading it again.

Definitely don't do x10 every tick, just update the text when the buttons are pressed

Sorry about that, I just downloaded the version 98 of contruct 2 and tried opening the example file and I got the same message. The first paragraph in the box says that it could not open the project and then it says the location in this format c:owner/app/... Then the secound paragraph says Layout c:Owner/app/... is missing. Was it deleted or renamed outside of construct?
I didn't touch any settings or anything. I just clicked open the first time and tried opening it and it didn't work. Then I clicked save the secound time and it didn't work. And I just clicked open every time after that.

The example works fine for me, did you try downloading the file again? Or maybe you need the latest beta release? (r98)

Or, if you could tell us more about the error you're getting, someone might be able to help. "File is missing or something like that" doesn't really help.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:41:07 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/calculator_topic54248.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/calculator_topic54248_post339399.html#339399 Author: gordon101112

Umm sorry to bother you again but for some reason I get an error when I try to open the example file. First error I got was to install version 95 of contruct 2 which I did. Then now it says the file is missing or something like that. Reason I'm trying to open the example is because I attached all the text to the global variables to produce the numbers visually but I have it as every tick so it makes the numbers go really fast until it reaches infinity. What did you use to show your numbers because every tick isn't working out for me.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:32:51 +0000 http://www.scirra.com/forum/calculator_topic54248.html http://www.scirra.com/forum/calculator_topic54248_post339247.html#339247 Author: gordon101112

To make multi-digit numbers when you press the buttons, simply have it multiply a variable by 10 then add the value of the button to the variable, you then set the Text to this variable.

For example, you press the buttons 1, 3, 7 so you want it to display 137

Variable = 0
Press 1
Variable = (Variable * 10) + 1 = (0 * 10) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
Press 3
Variable = (Variable * 10) + 3 = (1 * 10) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13
Press 7
Variable = (Variable * 10) + 7 = (13 * 10) + 7 = 130 + 7 = 137

I have no idea how plus I have other layouts in my project like the cacluator is just a sub thing.

Are you confused on my concept? If so, just think of a calculator. There is buttons labeled 0-9 and plus, minus, divided by, times and other minor buttons. When you hit the 1 it appears in the bar at the top and you hit a 7 it appears as 17. I'm trying to make it do that. When I hit 1 and 7 it appears in text 1. I can't make double digits, I'm not sure what set up to use or how to do it.

One Button clicked. Condition global variable is Zero. Set text1 to 1 and add one to global variable. Plus button clicked condition that global variable is one. Set text 2 to + and add one to global variable. I'm making an equation.

Ex. 1 + 2 = 3
