Add FADE behaviour to the sprite.

Set enabled to no in the properties.

In events, add..

+ MOUSE: On cursor over sprite

+ Trigger Once While True

• sprite: Start Fade

I'd probably go with a mask with spritefont to get that exact effect.

You could use the LiteTween plugin and have a choice of fancy effects.

That's a logical OR which is used for maths (binary).

You'd need to do seperate conditions for "save" and "load" and make it an OR block (right click the event and select MAKE OR BLOCK or similar.. can't recall)

Pick hudbuttons where hudbuttons.id = "save"

OR

Pick hudbuttons where hudbuttons.id = "load"

No problemo Let me know if you have problems or need to adjust anything.

This will definitely help keep filesizes down for mobile retro stuff. Good job!

Yeah json is the way to go then. https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/526/ho ... -savegames

[quote:1kje7yul]Using the JSON data directly

In both the On save complete and On load complete triggers, the system SaveStateJSON expression returns a string of all the JSON data for the savegame. Note the SaveStateJSON expression will return an empty string outside of these triggers; the triggers are your only opportunity to access the data directly.

If you have your own server, it's possible to make shared savegames by posting the JSON data to the server with the AJAX object and storing it in a server database. Alternatively some platforms like Windows 8 and Clay.io allow you to store data for the logged in user, where it's shared anywhere they log in. This is a useful for allowing users to take savegames with them wherever they go.

Once you get the JSON string back, you can load the game from it using the Load from JSON system action.

I haven't messed with json stuff too much so I can't relaly help you with saving to a server and loading back from it. I can't see it being too difficult. Search the tutorials or the forums for json and I'm pretty sure you'll find some snippets <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

No problem. We all started somewhere

"Another thing, the array size is very large almost 50x50"

Just noticed you said that. Believe me, 50x50 isn't large at all

Check the manual - https://www.scirra.com/manual/125/system-actions

Scroll down just past halfway.. Save & Load.

That's the very easy way.

The other way is to save the array as JSON, then you can load it back in. More fexibility this way.

Looks like you have javascript disabled.

As for the dropbox link thing... when did you register your dropbox account? Not sure if it's still like this or not, but if you created your dropbox account after some date (like 2013 or something), then you could only get the link to a downloadable file which is useless for us. My account was created before then, so my dropbox gets the proper link fine. But you said "normally done it through Dropbox but it isn't working".. so it USED TO work?

hmmm from what I've seen around the forums, Chrome has broken a lot of things.. could it be the cause of this? I mean.. you said it normally works. Did you update Chrome?

What about other browsers? does it paste there fine?
