Okay I'll try again =)

You have a loop with the condition "Global variable loop = 1" .. when you (for example) press X the variable "loop" will become 0 .. so the loop stops.

Mh .. you can have a loop like every secound set angle to player + int(random(5)) .. so the bullet will gain stupidity ^-^

Cheers

How about a global variable? And when you want to get out of the loop you can change the variable by some kind of trigger.

Do you know what I mean?

Leiwand =D (Wienerisch, bedeutet so viel, wie [super .. toll .. cool .. geil .. awesome ..]

Falls einer von euch vielleicht ein paar Grafiken haben m�chte .. ich bin zwar nicht der Beste, aber ich nutze 2D/3D Programme schon seit �ber 6-7 Jahren und mit etwas Inspiration und Interesse kann ich schon recht sch�ne Dingerchen zaubern ^-^

Ich m�chte kein Gro�projekt, da ich mich daf�r einfach als zu schlecht ansehe, aber so ein paar Kleinigkeiten zum Lernen f�r mich und weniger Arbeit f�r euch w�re toll =)

Ich arbeite momentan an einem Jump and Run Game mit Stealth/Shooting/Skilljumping/Timeracing/Vieles mehr-Elementen, was in der Herstellung soweit sehr viel Spa� macht =D

Es freut mich sehr, dass ich doch nicht der Einzige hier bin =D an was arbeitet ihr momentan so?

The powerups are way to rare ... u can't die (I played until I got -2000hp) ... the up and down-movement of the ships are way to annoying ^-^

But nice idea

Make different objects and let them spawn outside the window .. with the bulletmovement you can make it move the speed you want

Cheers

Maybe you make an invisible sprite at the end and an event like

If collision between physobj and inviswall -> physobj = nonphys + solid?

Cheers

It's everything together =) the number of frames in an animation, the number of points for collision mask, the number of objectes, etc etc =)

I guess I may be doing something wrong, but when I add a new sprite and load an image for it (as shown in the basic tutorial), I cannot see the sprite; I can only see a wireframe, but I got the impression, from the tutorials, that I should see the image (although it doesn't explicitly state that).

So .. you add a sprite and open a new graphic into it .. and by closing the edit-window you still have the wire? The wireframe is only there for imagesless sprites ..

More of a problem is that the wireframes disappear if I ,say, click on the background, so I can't see any objects on the screen unless I click on one (bearing in mind that I can't see them!) or drag a 'rubber-band' around the frame to select all the objects.

That happens only if you did not load any picture on the sprite ... that's acutally normal. When you are working with a big background you have to add LAYERS and make the bottom Layer the background so it won't "eat" your sprites

Is there a setting somewhere to change this behaviour, or is it a bug?

I think that it's a mistake from your side. Don't feel attacked by me, but at my beginning I had this problem as well =) make sure that your EDITWINDOW is CLOSED after LOADING an IMAGE into the SPRITE

Cheers

I am pro theme =)

No problem Urled, you have the right to be wrong. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hahaha, awesome answer :>
