  • The reason why I bumped was because I posted saying it was fixed. It wasn't. I deleted that post and posted this update.

    I put the objects in a family and set the loop to the family, but now it doesn't seem to be working at all.

    The first .capx link should still be working. Here it is again: SpaceGame.capx

  • Alright, so I've tried to implement this using the pathfinding behavior, but I'm having issues. For debugging purposes, I have disabled the destroying of the two 'path check' sprites. So the problem now is, these two sprites aren't showing up at all. Can someone take a look?

  • Okay, apparently this isn't fixed. I thought it was, but it seems really inconsistent.

    Can someone take a look?

  • I'm not used to working with families, but part of the reason why they're not in a family is because some objects are hostile to each other. For example, asteroids are hostile to both the player and enemy ships.

    As for the radius, there is no need to create an invisible sprite since I know the radius of the player's shield and simply need to detect if hostile objects are within that radius.

    Problem has now been fixed :)

  • I would like my player ship's shields to automatically activate whenever certain objects are within a certain distance to the player.

    I'm not entirely sure how I would go about accomplishing this properly. The current implementation seems to activate shields sometimes when the harmful objects are in range, and other times not activate at all.

    Here's the .capx for those who might want to take a look:

  • I suppose it's nice if I clarify exactly why I want to do this.

    I want my player sprite to show the correct thrusters for moving right and left. What I have works for moving forward and backward, regardless of orientation, but it's the left and right (strafing) movement that isn't working out for me.

  • Here's the solution philx gave me: MultipleTouch.capx

    Here's some screenshots of what's working for me now. When you touch the screen, an analog joystick appears. Maximum of two analog joysticks; one per side.

    Here's the 'function' of the joysticks. You can set what happens when the joystick 'stick' is at a certain position with these.

  • C2 has no way to determine a textures orientation.

    You have to set that in the image editor when you import it.

    By default, the orientation for sprites is the second image I posted. Is there a way to change this?

  • I'm not sure why C2 does this, but the angles used for objects and the angles used for the 8Direction.MovingAngle are on different grids.

    This is what the grid looks like for 8Direction:

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/2R9rKV2.png" border="0" />

    This is what the grid looks like for objects:

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/E4iJYiV.png" border="0" />

    Does anyone know how to convert between the two? I need to compare the angle of my object with the moving angle. I tried subtracting/adding 90, but that doesn't work.

  • I definitely like the trailer music reel.

    Are you looking for a paid position or more of a collaboration with others, such as in a game jam?

  • Thanks to help from philx and others, I believe touch support is now working. Please play this game on a mobile device if you can, and let me know your average FPS, device, and browser!

  • Thanks, philx.

    I ended up just doing what you did, and to make two invisible sprites on screen. It seems to be working for me now.

  • You may play it with an emulator, you will like it, but it's very scary than Silent Hill 2.

    I've played a lot of games, and I am offended by this. Silent Hill 2 is branded as a horror game, but it also has one of the best storylines of any game.

    GamesRadar lists Silent Hill 2 as the #1 best storyline of all time.

    One idea, what about an old fashioned game like "Mario Typing" where you can add your own dictionary?

    This game have educational purposes and teach playing xD

    I remember playing educational games in elementary school. In particular, the Math Blaster series. I wonder what 'modern' educational games look like, but I definitely believe gaming will make major strides in the educational sector in the near future. The military is already using games - the civilian factor will be soon to follow.

    "Blind Game" where you can't see anything, but you hear everything and feel like you are in the scenery. So only put your earphone close your eyes and open your minds.

    I'm studying Octophonics to make that game come true...

    When I interned at an IT company as a web developer, we had to make sure our sites were compliant with some federal regulations. These regulations stated that our games had to account for people with disabilities. As a game developer, I think it's wise to not limit our audience, at least not if we intend to make any sort of profit from it.

    It's a perfectly viable idea, though.

    Sid Meier's "Civilization" meets Tower Defense. Everyone begins with primitive (say, stone throwing) towers and as they advance through the game, decide to spend the points they accumulate during gameplay on various Civilization improvements. (Irrigation = More Food, essential for People-Producing towers. Mysticism = Magic-based towers. Imperialism = Phalanx-Producing units that can outright stop the flow of enemies while they fight to the death, etc).

    This system allows you to incorporate dozens (perhaps a hundred?) tower variants, so each playthrough of the same set of levels can feel different.

    This is interesting, but you have to understand that part of the appeal of Civilizations is the alliance aspect and 'conquering the world'.

    You're Ronald McDonald at a kid's birthday party, when suddenly the Burger King bursts in through the living room wall with all other fast food mascots behind him, and he tells you he's gonna kick your ass for making kids eat horse meat - if you don't defeat all other mascots and the King himself; but if you do, you'll become the new "burger king". You also unlock the other characters, new outfits and stages, and a new title screen. But you start out with Ronald in his typical clown outfit and fight each mascot in his own stage; or you can do Adventure Mode, wherein you race across different fast food themed levels before fighting the level's boss (a mascot); so Adventure Mode is just like the other normal mode but with levels. Beating the game with all the mascots unlocks secondary fast food characters like the Hamburgular, who can help out in fights (either automatically, when you press a button, or when your character dies) and unlocks the level editor, so you can create your own stages and levels, than use them in the main modes (in addition to or in substitution for the regular stages and levels) if you want.

    I'm certain there are intellectual property rights issues with this.

    I like some parts of your ideas, but the scope is a bit ridiculous.
