  • Hi Whiteclaws,

    Arrays cam be hard to grapple. I managed to make a few. I was following some of the tutes and examples around here, but it still had been a pain in the brain to make them and or call on them at first. I have a capx with 3 arrays in it, and some other crap. It generates a random tiled background (changed with a right click), and there's a text array, and another one, cant remember much about that one. Maybe you can pick it apart and make some sense out of it....https://dl.dropbox.com/u/91685197/arrays.capx

  • Hi Astrosus,

    I'm not really sure if it starts on a 0 or 1 count. However I put it behind the second image in the animation sequence. I found that I could move the frame images around in the animations frames display box by dragging them into different positions in the sequence. I needed to adjust a walk cycle of my own recently. You can also adjust the frame speed of each individual frame (I think yet have not tried yet).

  • Hi Astrosus

    I was able to get your walk cycle to look a bit more realistic by duplicating your first frame of the cycle and placing it behind the second frame. In the frames panel you can copy frames and drag them to where you want them in the sequence. If you want to do a bit more research, just google walk cycles. Or a google image search on "game sprite" with or without the term walk cycle included, and I think there will be a lot of examples.

  • I decided to try my hand at making that banner I was talking about, and got crazy with the shaders.Acid Flashback

  • hi Delgado, I just got your file. I'll play with the a bit and see if I can help. Do you want them to pulsate or twinkle?

  • Here is where I learned how...

    I suck at javascript that is why i found j query more useful. I'm not sure about performance issues, and what will happen when these codes get tangled up together. So That is why I wanted to post it. So I can have some of those questions answered as well.

  • Thanks Delgado I would be happy to see just a screen shot of what you have so far. I spent most of the day yesterday exploring the shaders and some of them combined can bring some interesting results.

  • What color star? and what color background? I just started messing with the shaders and am having a blast working with them. Do you have an image?

  • I don't know how to put jquery into the game. I put the game in a jquery accordion template I made earlier. So I guess I did it backwards.

  • If all your trying to do is get the ship to stop, there is probably a lot of ways. I'm a newbie but I tried it with an action under your condition on "collision with yellow platform". I just put in "set deceleration to 800" and it stopped it. I tried using the system "wait" to restore movement after one second, but i don't think you have it set up for that crazy idea. Good luck.

  • Did you want to embed the app into the jquery, or jquery into the app?

    I was able to embed a test game into a jquery accordion panel. I posted a link over here..thread The game and the instructions get tucked away in an accordion. I was pretty happy with those results.

  • Ashley I appreciate you getting back to me on on a thread with a similar topic. I did discover that I could embed a game into a collapse able div using jquery. I doubt I would want to use this for heavy duty navigation or to store content. However with C2's awesome power you can totally transform a website. I'm working on a banner for my website using C2 with light interactivity. I'm tapping into C2 because, from my artistic viewpoint its possibilities are only constrained by the limits of your own imagination.

    I do have a little question though.. I see one of the posters is a pro web designer. I was wondering how many other folks posting here have any prior experience with web coding?

    Ash back at you again. I'd try this but really busy now. As I managed to put that game in the div with Jquery. I was wondering if there would be much conflict with more that one game on a page? Say using a separate games for the banner and sidebar?

    Thank you for your comment on the art. If you need some art, I would be happy to do a trade out, or for money. I would be willing to trade some art for help with math or code issues.

    The webpage is not created with C2, but has the game embedded, and it uses an external jquery plugin. So that is why I wonder how it will effect what is visible while loading. There is still a huge tree resting on my roof and I'm buried in a Holiday project, so I wont have time to try in out on a big heavy game. However the intention in the beginning was to use the effect for smaller mini games that can be used for fun and advertisement on a commercial site without taking up a boatload of space.

    PM me about art. I'll hook you up. I'm mostly interested in collaborations.

  • I wanted to find out if it would be possible to embed a mini game or app into a website using jquery to reveal and hide the game. I'm not really sure how this would hold up with a big heavy game. It seems cool because the game seems to load fine while hidden behind the panel so I'm not getting the loader bar etc. It also would be nice on a page where space is a high commodity. Anyhow here is a link to my test....peek a boo

    I'm by no means even a novice coder yet, so I have no idea if this will fly in the real world. Perhaps you coders can tell me. I also was not sure where to post this, and I hope you don't mind it here.
