Study Notes
Construct 3 Software Overview
- Construct 3 runs offline, requiring internet connection for subscription validation every 7 days. A non-subscriber can use it permanently offline.
- Supports various modern browsers (Chrome 87+, Edge 87+, Chromium-based Opera/Yandex 87+, Firefox 125+, Safari 15.4+). Latest versions recommended. Internet Explorer is not supported.
- Supports modern operating systems (Windows 10, 11+, macOS 10.13+, 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, openSUSE 15.2+, Fedora Linux 32+, Chrome OS v87+, Android 8.0+, iOS 15.4+). Older systems have limited support.
- Requires WebGL support for high performance graphics (most modern devices). Troubleshoot with system updates and graphics driver checks if WebGL is unavailable.
Example Browser
- The Example Browser is accessed through the start page, browsing examples, or via Menu►View►Example browser.
- It fills the entire screen when no project is open.
- Contains hundreds of example projects organized by:
- Levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
- Categories (New, Recommended, Demo game, Guided tour, Game template, Barebones template, Gameplay mechanic, Feature example, Scripting, Tech demo)
- Genres (if applicable)
- Tags (3D, Mesh distortion, Mobile, Performance, Scene graph, Timeline, Plugins, Behaviors, Effects)
Project Management and Opening
- Click a project card to expand and view details; click 'Preview' for a quick demonstration.
- Double-click or click 'Open' to open the project.
- Preview the project with the 'Preview' button or F5
- Close the project via Menu►Project►Close project.
- Access a direct link to an example by right-clicking and selecting Copy direct link.
User Interface (UI)
- Main menu button: basic project tasks (open/close, export, settings).
- Main toolbar: common features (save, undo, redo, preview).
- View tabs: switch layouts (object placement) and event sheets (logic events). Customizable colors.
- Account badge: display account status.
- Main view: layout or event sheet display, depending on selected tab. Empty if no project is open.
- Properties bar: lists properties of selected item for customization.
- Project bar: overview of project contents, navigation through layouts and event sheets.
- Layers bar (and Tilemap): displays project layers when layout view is open.
Exporting Projects
- Export using Menu►Project►Export.
- Exports to multiple platforms (web, Android, iOS, desktop).
- Common export settings:
- Deduplicate images (removes identical images for efficiency).
- Lossless/lossy image formats.
- Optimize images (lossless compression for smaller file sizes).
- Minify script (obfuscates JavaScript for reduced file size/load time, harder to reverse engineer).
- Advanced minification (requires online service)
- Simple minification (alternative script writing approaches)
Other Important Concepts
- System Object: built-in functionality, essential to Construct but not displayed in the Project Bar.
- Sounds and Music: organize audio files correctly to avoid issues (music is streamed, sounds must be loaded before playing). Timelines and Eases: pre-designed sequences of changes (e.g., animation) over time, along with built-in and custom animation functions. - Scripting: integrates JavaScript and TypeScript coding in event sheets or separate script files.
- Audio: Sound files should be used for short events like collisions, music for longer tracks, and organized accordingly; sounds are fully loaded before use, music is streamed.
