LiveCode Forums.

Hello everyone!
First I know LiveCode a while and I've edited all of these tutorials : Learning to create Games (I can't poste any links sry)
So I would like to create a game with an animated Sprite which can be controlled with the arrow keys.
What I have to change on this code that the Player moves like Mario when he presses the arrow keys?
How can an animate a Sprite?
I hope you all know what I mean

I would be very thankful about any response Sorry for my bad english


on arrowkey x

if x is "right" then
set the right of the button "box" to the right of the button "box" + 10
if right of the button "box" > the right of the card "mycard" then
set the right of the button "box" to the right of the card "mycard"
end if
end if

if x is "left" then
set the left of the button "box" to the left of the button "box" - 10
if the left of the button "box" < the left of the card "mycard" then
set the left of the button "box" to the left of the card "mycard"
end if
end if

end arrowkey
(Its the code from the Tutorial Moving your Player)

This might do it...
Import 2 images - one of Mario standing still and one that is an animated gif of him running. Change the 'skin' of the button "box" as you need to. (You do that by noting the ID of each image and setting the icon of the button to one ID or the other.

Normally use the one of him standing still. Then in your code where you move him, set it to the animated one of him running. As you exit the code, set it back to the one of him standing still again.

Is this what you were asking?

This thread (the link points directly to a sample stack with sprite movement, but please read the whole of it) may help

Let's walk... a sample of movement based on your sprite handle... really cool!

But how to handle to create a tiled map? Imagine that in the spritesheet we have the terrain tiles, objects... and as the map is moving we need to update the tiles... copy n time the group that have referenciate the inside image?
Other case will be show objects form the spritesheet. For example show a sword or treasure...

Salut,

Check this stack:
http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/359/ ... -Game-Test

and this one, published recently:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/383 ... 2.livecode

This stack displays:

1) an animated gif inside a background group
with the Dynamic Layer property set.
Control the Dove position using the keyboard:
QWE
A S
ZXC

2) a 20 cards flip animation that plays
when you press the mouse button
inside the photo or stack background.

In this version, you could use sliders to control the speed
and movement step of the animated gif.
