Creating A New Project

Okay to start you off on your journey using Construct 2 firstly you will have to open Construct 2 and this page will appear.

Now that you have opened construct 2 proceed by following these simple instructions.
Step 1- Click File, New.
Step 2- Click "New project with common objects".

You will now have a page that will look like this.

You can click the "x" on the "Start Page" tab as it is no longer needed.
As you can see you are starting with a simple blank Layout page and an Event sheet, you can click the "x" on either at any time and open it back up on the side panel under "New Project" and "Layouts" or "Event Sheets".

Tip* You can name your layouts or event sheets by right clicking on the layout or eventsheet on the side pannel and clicking "re-name" this is usefull if you have multiple event sheets and layouts so they can be kept in order.

View Point

Okay now you have a new layout and event sheet you can start by looking at the interface.
There is a Thin dotted box on your layout sheet. This is the camera view and can be changed by clicking on the "New Project" folder in the right side panel and then going to the left side panel and changed the "Window Size".

Tip* Clicking the "+" next to the "Window Size" or on any other option similar to this will extend it allowing you to see the Width and Height making it easier for you.

Layout Size

Your layout "the page" size can be changed, so if you have a long game you can change width of the layout to fit your game on, or if the length of your game is long you can change the length of the page by following these simple steps.

Step 1- Click the layout you want to change.

Step 2- Within the left side panel change the "Layout Size"

Once this is done you should notice a diference in either length or width or both.
