Answer with "No" or "Yes" ... quit on Yes

My 11 year old and I can not figure out how to quit the app when a user clicks the "Yes" button in our answer sheet. // user clicks the quit button on mouseUp answer "Really quit" with "No" or Yes" as sheet // clicking "Yes" causes the app to quit // if "yes" // then quit end mouseUp That's basicall...

Re: Will RunRev be Allowed for iPhone/iPad?

@InfoCentral ... Unity apps have continued to be approved by Apple for the App Store since even the original announcement. Given that several of the current and former top ten games have been made with Unity, and that studios like EA use the engine, it's a good bet Unity apps, if they work as advert...

I've done platform games in both hypercard and revolution, the only problem with both is trying to get smooth scrolling implemented, as in the player will always be at the center of the screen. It hitches too much to have this work for me. The way I worked around this was scrolling a large portion ...

Wow, Mark. I will look through this later today and really appreciate the help. That's exactly right. Do you think I have to use AE for the collision testing or can I simply use the intersection function to detect when two object begin to overlap? I don't need a great deal of accuracy ... or since A...

Hi DaveyJJ, Whether this is the right approach depends on whether you want to be able to do other things while the object is moving. What exactly is the "condition"? Mark Moving a character ala Kyntt Stories. When it bumps into something (I assume I'll have to use AE for this) it stops. "Wall", "fl...

Making something continually happen ... a repeat?

I want an object to continually move until another condition exists.

repeat
move me relative 0,-50 in 1 second
wait 2 seconds
end repeat

Is that something like the right thing?

Thanks Lynn, I know that I could probably fake it relatively (pardon the pun) easily. Simply move an object down say, 12 pixels, every second unless it was in collision with another object (the later object representing the floor). Jumping could be done simply as well ... just change the "gravity" v...

In a 2D (say side-scrolling) computer game, gravity is always pulling the character or object down to the bottom of the frame with a constant force. Last time I checked AE lacked this, although I suppose I could fake it thus ... if object isn't colliding with objectB (a floor say) each second pull t...

Suitable for platform game?

Is RunRev Studio suitable for a simple platform game like Knytt Stories? Can it handle gravity and platforms? Nothing like Mario ... simpler like http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?main=02Knytt_Stories ? Thoughts?

But what about the specific idea I have ... pardon my horrific attempts at code here var force = pulldistance on MouseDown get centre of obejct determine w...

Billiards, marbles, curling, crokinole with AE?

I'm thinking after many years of lurking with Revolution of diving into it and AE assuming that I can (somewhat easily) squeeze the app and AE to do what I'd like. As the post title says, I'm looking to AE to help power 2D games similar in play and physics to classic ones like billiards, marbles, cr...
