Rather than using "tokenat" expressions to find your values in your dictionary string, you could do a nested dictionary instead.

Think of having one dictionary for each crafting recipe, so the keys and values are specific to a single recipe... then you have all of those dictionaries stored in a single "master" dictionary. It means instead of having to count tokens, you can simply reference things by the key names.

This is how I made my sprite tile-map. Each tile has it's own dictionary to set specific values/variables/etc and each tile dictionary is compiled into a single dictionary for saving/loading via JSON format.

Let me know if you think this might be of help/use - I can explain in more detail and share some of the events I used to make a nested dictionary.

Yeeeaahhhh that's very nice!

This project has been around for a good while now... it's awesome that you're still working on it Gifs look pretty cool as well - combat already looks fun ^.^

It will be virtually impossible to have a solid solution, since auto clickers emulate hardware. Unless you can figure out a way to detect that the player is using one without imposing some arbitrary limits on the number of clicks, or adding annoying things to the game - then you won't really be able to stop anyone from using an auto clicker.

I personally have a mutant/abnormal ability to click a button very fast (280 clicks in 25 seconds - or an average of 11.2 clicks per second). I've seen people as fast as 16 clicks per second... Most auto clickers have adjustment on them, so a player can find the "sweet spot" and just set it to that.

The only thing I can think of that MIGHT work is measuring the time between each individual click - then if the time is EXACTLY the same for say 20-30 clicks in a row (2-3 seconds worth?) then you can trigger an "auto clicker is being used" event and stop your game - or whatever. That's about the only way I suspect you could do it actually. That's the thing about auto clickers, I don't think they vary the time between clicks at all; they're very uniform.

It's not a bug, it's my error, an enemy was in another layer

It's still a bug. It shouldn't matter if there is something on another layer... a bug report needs to be made by you or someone at least.

River Raid must be geo-blocked for Australia because your link takes me to 8-Ball Pool game instead. I got the same page when I tried to Google it as well. Yay for geo-blocking... because the world needs more division

a zorder in the editor? are you talking about the z order bar? because that don't zorder automatically for me in the editor, I need to do it manually

Yes the zorder bar... unfortunately manual yes, would be nice for an automatic sort on the layout editor but it's better than nothing I suppose.

Pretty cool, love coffee

Heres one I did for the regional snooker league.

You can create a dictionary object, and attach it to a/any/all character instance... by putting them into a container.

This way, each character has it's own dictionary automatically, that is always referenced to the correct character (because of the container) - then you can reference the dictionary traits of any specific instance; IE - "key : value" -or- "Shirt : 12" -or- "Pants : 'BlueShorts'" -etc-

This way you can simply use your (dictionary) value of each key as an animation frame or animation name to a "shirt" object (sprite); IE "Shirt : 12"

[Every X seconds/on button clicked/whatever condition]

---Set Pants.sprite animation_frame to Dictionary.get("Shirt") {will return "12" because of, "Shirt : 12"}

---Set Shirt.sprite animation_frame to Dictionary.get("Pants") {etc}

--- Set Hat.Sprite animation_frame to Dictionary.get("Hat") {etc}

--- ETC

Hope this makes sense^

*EDIT*

I'm sure your application of it won't be the same approach but it's much easier than handling a tonne of variables, especially when you just loop through the entries.

You can also adjust zorder in editor as well... I just realised the ordering problem you were talking about was in editor not at runtime. There is a zordering option in editor for objects that are near each other.

~Sol

Do it inside of your loader or even make a layout after the loader but before your game.

~Sol

Of course it's possible... however I can't find River Raider by Miniclip anywhere - so I cannot compare what you're trying to achieve... but if it's 2D then C2 can do it.
