Any non-game projects in construct?

Hey guys,

of course Construct is mainly for game design but i wondered, if there are some projects/programs made with C2, that are no games.

Searching the forum, I found a calculator or a timetable software.

What else is possible? Show off if you like :)

Sry for bad english!

I am making a seamless texture creation utility. It makes alpha maps for common textures like terrain textures. Just the masking is done now, but when I am done it will make the full texture.

This one might be good for a tower defense game.

Please excuse the dark ugly colors. I am testing the lighting, and needed a dark base so the lights would show up better. :

It will pop out a matrix file too, so you can easily re-create your custom matrix in your own game.

nice one! that�s what i meant:)

there is so much more potential than "just" games ;-)

I�m working on a real board game, supported by an app! Some mixture i guess :D

Yeah I'm interested as well in making "tools" for games directly with C2

I made some "image editing" tests the other day as I was thrilled to discover you could export transparent pngs with the canvas snapshot

I made an English class presentation in C2 a while back.

I regularly use construct 2 for making level editors for games, even if I'm making the actual game in a different language just because it's so much quicker to develop and is cross-platform.

Haematite, thats sounds interesting. Are there any examples or tutes on the web of this approach, as I would like to create one for myself?

Are you saving and loading the tile data to XML via an array?

Pode might do a lot of non-game projects.

I'm doing a presentation on A.I. in two days' time, and have used C2 for all the slidedeck and demos: meetup.com/NorfolkIndieGameDevelopers/events/104596392

sqiddster - the link to your capx is broken - I'd be interested to compare how you set up the project for your presentation (I use one layout per slide, with a global event sheet that controls transitions between slides and some slide-specific event sheets for interactive demonstrations of the topics on each slide).

I did essentially program with C2 - The last one is a shipment tracking app on iphone and desktop (with node) using mainly my plugins (e.g. dropbox for the database)

zendorf Yeah, it goes via an array into XML. Not sure if there's any tutorials on this as I just use my own method - incorporating the use of tiling tiled backgrounds if there was a row of grass etc.

I'll try and get round to posting a demo in the near future as I imagine more people will benefit from it.

tanoshimi my apologies! It's all fixed now.

I actually used a structure like the menu in Airscape so I could have those cool transitions. I can' say it would be the best choice for a 'professional' presentation, but for that task we were encouraged to get creative.

Oh, that's a great presentation squiddster - very impress.js :)

I had made a fair amount of tile-based level editors before the .tmx importer came around.

This one was in C2..what a nightmare.

This is the biggest one I made in CC..Was pretty cool because you could rotate tiles & objects, and groups of tiles like big tetris pieces ( Thanks again tulamide ). All objects and properties, tilesets, and BGs were chosen in the list boxes. There were also extra properties like "highlight current layer", zoom, scroll speed, and a drop-down menu to choose level properties like music.

Your Level-Editor looks amazing!!! Really reminds me of good old rpg-maker :)
