  More testing of concepts.

  I made a side scrolling platform with edge scrolling.

  docs.google.com/open

  I used two objects (visible in the CAPX) that are invisible, rightEdge and leftEdge.

  When you scroll over them the screen scrolls right or left.

  This works perfect.

  What I want now is for the scrollRate to increase the closer you are to the edge.

  You will see my formula in the function but it does not work.

  Any thoughts on my logic?

  Thanks for the help!

  I will post a screen shot a little later. The HUD is just a test template that will change a lot. I just needed some area to put the towers : )

  I think I have a working piece of code that I will put up later tonight.

  Thanks!

  So I am still have trouble with arrays.

  I loaded an example file.

  docs.google.com/open

  What is supposed to happen is this.

  At start of layout the function will analyze the contents of the array varTowers and depending on what # is in the array fill the blank boxes on the RIGHT with either a tower OR a lock.

  I have not written the filling part yet, I just want to get the contents of varTowers and print it in the text box.

  Thanks,

  SparkDad

  Since the first post I created a 128x128 and resized in C2 to 64x64 and it does look better.

  Thank you and your team for being awesome at supporting your customers!

  A free copy of the game will be yours! HAHA

  Here is what I am trying to do...

  The HUD locations where the LITTLE towers are is the location that I am trying to fill with either a TOWER or a LOCK if it is not available.

  I understand arrays. I understand loops. I understand FOR statements

  I do not understand how to implement it in C2!!!

  What I have is this.

  Array varAvailTowers ( 2, 20 ) { 2 rows of 10 } 0 - 1, 0 - 9

  At the beginning of a level I want to loop through the varAvailTowers and fill a box on the screen with the appropriate power-up / tower.

  So...

  On Beginning of Layout

  For ROW = 0 - 9

       For COL = 0 - 9

            TowerForSlot = varAvailTowers.at(ROW,COL)

            CreateObject "TOWERFORSLOT" at (SCREEN COORDINATE FORMULA)

  Does that make sense?

  I will probably store the SCREEN COORDINATES in another array and grab the coordinates from that based on the ROW, COL....

  Help!!!

  OK. So I am working on a game with my son (11). Now neither of us are "great" artists but can get around most graphic tools. We are both learning Inkscape right now and love it.

  The problem I am having is that I make a character in a 64x64 size and when in the game the scaling is terrible.

  I find this hard to understand.

  We love the game Kingdom Rush. Here are some examples of the graphics from their game.

  kingdomrush.com/media.php

  Their characters and towers are VERY small but seem detailed.

  What program would they use to do this? Any thoughts? Tips?

  HI!

  My name is "SparkDad" I once owned a company called Archangel Studios that was about to be published by Strategy First, but our funding evaporated and our game died.

  I have always dreamed of making a game and now that I have found Construct I am back at it with my 11 year old!

  See you in the forums!

  Using R98.

  Chrome.

  Win 7

  Put 4 buttons on a layout.

  No events attached to them.

  They shake like crazy : )

  AND - in the editor they are all lined up in a row.

  On the screen they are staggered indented.

  Just to let you know : )
