Nice demo there. I'll see what I can come up with :)

This competition is mine

):d

To quote the Rules:

"2.Every game must make use of the system 'Rotate layer' or 'Rotate layout' actions".

I take it that 'Rotate layer' and 'Rotate layout' refer to 'Set layer angle' and 'Set layout angle' ?

Yes indeed.

Need anglelerp(), getlayerangle(), getlayoutangle(). <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Ok maybe no () on layout. heh

I like the monkey.

hello

is the game okay if we just add

set gravity angle

Seconded need getlayerangle and getlayoutangle expressions. And actions Rotate Layer and RotateLayout. And one more: Sprite Set Scale. Been missing this for ages.

I'll try to get those missing expressions in a future build - the compo runs for quite a long time so hopefully it won't be a problem. The workaround is simple though, just set a global variable whenever you set the layer angle, and you can retrieve the angle from the global variable.

is there any problem to use copyrighted songs, just for the competition?

There are problem using copyrighted songs all the time.

I mean it doesn't belong to you so to use it you need the permission of the owners.

So no, don't use any kind of copyrighted material, use yours, and some that is licensed so that it can be freely/without notice to the owner used.

In the "Game design" forum, there are a few music sites and musicians listed.

ok,thnx for the reply, Kyatric...

so i think i'll have to learn how to play my hairy banjo if i want some sound...

I've tried making a game based on this concept a few months ago (video here:

) I may try something for this, the prizes are cool

I know Kyatric said about copyrighted resources, but i whant to know out and loud.

Can copyrighted resources be used on a game for the competition?

And i mean 100% of copyrighted resources.
