Wow, I just randomly came across a reply video for this... and found like eight others. It seems this bear has become quite a youtube phenomenon.

Woohoo, I come back after the holiday and find out I have another Christmas present! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

Yep, I can confirm it does the same thing for me.

Any way I can convince you to post your todo list? I'm curious to see what's on it <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

What exactly is stopping you from making it?

Here you go:

It rounds the count to seconds.

Here's a zip with a couple of examples of how you might do the scrolling:

http://www.mediafire.com/?6txxtf4ymzz

In vertscroll.cap the layout size is 320x4000. The red box is set to "Center view on me" and both the box and the ship are moved 1 pixel up every tick. The star sprite is a 320x1000 repeatable tile, and there are four of them. The star sprites themselves don't move.

In stars.cap the layout size is 320x480. The stars are much smaller tiles and are created at runtime just off the top of the screen and moved down 2 pixels every tick for layer 1 and 1 pixel every tick for layer 2 to get a parallax effect. The ship itself doesn't move (unless the player moves it, of course).

Hope this helps.

Sounds like your computer woes are over...

All I know is BASIC <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

Not yet, at least not on the layout itself. You can draw a line on the Canvas object, though.

Edit:

Hmm, found a weird bug:

When choosing a line color to draw in the action, it won't remember expressions. I can type in an expression (like 157 or random(255255255.0)) and when I go back into the action to edit it, it's reverted to the "Default" color picker, and the chosen color is black.

Also, check out this example:

http://www.mediafire.com/?czylsyw3txt

It's supposed to draw a line of random color from 0,0 to Sprite.X, Sprite.Y (controlled by the mouse. For some reason it wouldn't draw to MouseX, MouseY.) Instead of a random color, though, it draws only black... unless you move the mouse outside of the window. Then you see it flashing to random colors.

Another thing, if you turn of "Grab Frame" and move the mouse outside of the window, the line still stays black, but "fades out" as it gets toward the edge of the window.

How about instead of using a loop you just move the sprite like so:

<img src="http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07513/noloop.jpg">

If agility is 3 then it'd move three pixels, which is the same as moving one pixel three times in a loop. Unless you're using the loop for something else, that is.

> This way you can do a loop numOfObjects times, and use a condition of "loopIndex = spreadValue" to manipulate an individual instance.

The For each condition completely supersedes this.

Ah, I see now... I was under the impression that a "For each" loop was just a shortcut way of doing a For loop numOfObjects times. I feel a bit stupid <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" />

I'll have to play around with it now that I know what to expect.
