  • There are multiple ways to do this. the easiest way is to either send the sprite to the bottom of the layer or sent the sprite to another layer. Sprite: compare y - if above collision object - sent to layer 1 or sent to bottom of layer. These actions are at the bottom of the sprite possibilities. Z order.

  • A mouse has a pointer that is on the screen even when your not clicking.

    Touch is different. If you are not touching the screen there is no touch.x or touch.y, so that means that touching the screen is in effect the same as clicking.

    If you want to use touch-input there is no pointer, so your player can't follow it. If there is no touch, touch.x will be 0(zero) and touch.y will also be 0(zero) so your player will move to 0,0 on your layout.

    If you want the player to follow your mouse pointer you should use the mouse, not the touch.

  • This is also a free option:

  • I would download Inkscape, it's a free program. Draw over your design with lines and export it to png.. Then in a program like gimp, import the png and scale it down to the size you want.. Probably you will have to change some pixels manually to get the look and effect you want, but it's easier this way then drawing one pixel at a time for most..

    Drawing small sprites that look good is really an art.. The way described above is actually cheating, but it can work if done correctly..

  • An animation is made up of multiple pictures. Importing an animation in C2 is pretty easy when you have the pictures. You can create all the pictures by drawing them one at a time, or use a program like Spriter to animate the bodyparts after you've created them, Like beufreecasse said.

  • First question is ofcourse:"What kind of sprites do you want to make?"

    If you want to create animated sprites, you will have to know a lot about the movement you're trying to recreate, so for someone who hasn't made them ever better to start simpler..

    If you want static sprites, you could try using programs like paint, gimp or work with vectors in for example Inkscape..

    Artwork could sometimes better be called Hard work, because creating something that is pleasing to the eye takes a lot of practice and hard work..

  • Puurrrrdy!!!

  • click to drag boxes

    seesaw returns to its normal position with 'apply torque towards angle', with a torque force that is proportional to the angle difference (otherwise it will vibrate back and forth)

    i dont think you need to make the force proportional though.. you could just try setting the angular damping very high

    Beautiful!

  • For a new game I'm creating I first had to make a basic slider-puzzle setup. This will only be used for mechanics in my game but by itself it's just a simple puzzle

    I know it's not very exiting right now, but hey, puzzle on!

  • So I started redesigning the graphics in 3D, my new hobby. It's easier to do, now I can't make fast sketches anymore.. My PC just needs an enormous upgrade, but that's coming soon..

  • Simple but Nice!

    I was working on an adventure game myself some time ago, using a different implementation of dialogs:

    Leaving Nic's Vegas

    I think that if I'm going to procede I will at least try to implement your way in some cases..

  • Simple way:

    Use extra image points on the sides the pipes touch, check if multiple imagepoints have the same x and y coordinates (if so set variable connected to 1) Make an animation of the filling of the pipes with water. If connected is 1 and animation is filled with water set animation to fill with water..

    Something like that?

    This was just an imagining-exercise for me though, break up the things you want to happen into small pieces and figure out how to connect those pieces..

    And? Have you made any progress? I'd love to play the game when finished!

  • The topic How to install Plugins and behaviors explains all..

  • You could also use the plug-in behavior called MoveTo.

    You just have to set the destination x,y of the object and can even have an event start at the time the destination is reached or while moving.
