How do I spawn objects in a grid?

I want spawn coin in a grid like Jetpack Joyride. Somebody help me?

you can make a pivot as the center of your coin pattern.

then create object at

X = Pivot.X+32

Y = Pivot.Y+64

and so on.

can you make a example? please

Yes, that would be great!

maybe for something like this......

While I would say an array is the easiest way I have thrown this together showing how you could do it with a string of 1's & 0'S.

HTML5 Demo

Press "Space" to make coins appear best wait until the last coins have gone off the screen before pressing "space" again.

Well done Minor !

I did not expect someone to make an example...without using arrays

Why thank you.

Arrays would be much easier. Some people have trouble with them, although string manipulation is much more of a pain to work with.

I carried on playing and created a "Text to Coin" converter thingy.

Need a better font and could also make it so I can save the coin pattern/text as JSON to load into an array.

Nice, thank you

why you need to compare mid(pattern, loopindex("x"), 1) with "1" ?

why you need to compare mid(pattern, loopindex("x"), 1) with "1" ?

To find out if I need to create a coin or not. A 0 in the string is air/nothing while a 1 is a coin.

If you are asking why I'm checking for

"1"

rather than

1

then that's because the information in the "pattern" variable is stored as a "string/text" and not an integer/number. So if you checked for 1 it would never be true.

You could of course change it to int(mid(pattern, loopindex("x"), 1)) with 1 and covert the string to an integer.

amazing. I must be pretty dumb. I just wanted to make a spawn of 5 coins (like this * * * * *) and can not.
