First Game (help needed)

[sefrojones]

I just did a little tweaking on your last attachment to smooth out the movement when it intersects. Basically I used "move" instead of "set" in the intersection checks. I set the sgamerunning to false to stop it from checking during the movement, and then the set it back to true with the movestopped handler so the game can continue. It's nothing special, but you might like the effect.

edit:

I also just noticed that you have:

Code: Select all

--IMPORTANT to stop messages
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of the pendingMessages
      cancel item 1 of line x the pendingMessages
   end repeat

Just sitting in the card script it doesn't really do anything as far as I can tell, it needs to be in the stopgame handler.

Good morning,
just a preview on the attached stack, Long live the Princess !!!

A piece of advice is welcomed regarding the game Levels:
1) to create levels should I clone/duplicate/copy-paste the card with all the buttons and or game assets ?
2) it is better to maintain only 1 card for levels and every time to generate a new level
by using "set the loc of button's to x,y coordinates" for each button or element I want
to be present on that level at the predefined location ?
3) ... I have no other ideea

Catalin,

It's looking better and better every day!

1) I did a little tweaking to your stack again. Firstly, I moved the card script up to the stack level, so new levels can be created as new cards and all use the same scripts.

2)It depends on the game. I think with the game you're working on a new card for each level is probably the best. (see my example) I made a new level button on the main screen which clones a template card and sets it to the last card before the "invisible" template card. This card contains all of the buttons that your script calls for, and seems to be working fine. (I made a couple quick levels to test it out)


Hope some of this helps!

Hi everyone,
I am glad to see that people are still checking this post.
I did not abandon this learning project/game,
only that I have been iterating with graphic design and my day
to day job has a tendency to interfere with my free time ... sadly

Will post an update and shoot out questions soon!

PS did anyone played/modified this small game?

Catalin

I haven't done anything with the stack since the last tweak I posted. Can't wait to see how it's turning out so far!
