  • I'd be interested in having achievements, Leaderboards, matchmaking support (if possible I'm not fully aware of how those aspects work). and if it were possible to have cloud save as well.

  • I'll get right on those!

  • How long did you survive Sol?

  • I've recently completed a small game called Impossible Pong. I'm looking for some feedback on how to make the game better- along with any bugs that have been found.

    You can play the game here!

  • So after some prodding I think I've traced the problem down to the Ball Sheet. The "ball collides with scoreline" event has a "Wait 5 sec" action. Problem is the layout switches to the Game Over layout before the 5 sec are up, so the event group Interactions (which contains the trigger for pressing Enter) gets disabled but is never re-enabled.

    Well whaddaya know! Thanks for spotting that discrepancy!

  • Hiya folks,

    In game that I'm working on, I'm having trouble getting the enter key to work after the player triggers a game over.

    For context:

    When the player starts the game they first see the title screen. Upon pressing enter the player is taken to the game screen. Here, they would then press enter one last time to start the game. After getting a game over, the player is taken to the game over screen where they are prompted to press enter to return to the title screen. should the player decide to play the game again they would follow the prompts like the first time and be taken to the game screen. This time around however, the game is not recognizing any inputs from the player.

    Here are some methods I've tried to combat the problem:

    • forcibly re-initiate the keyboard plugin when the game starts over.
    • change where the start game call is initiated by essentially creating a boolean statement (isRunning).
    • abstract the behaviors to functions and place calls in different areas to try and identify where the problem is happening.

    I've attached some executable files for context and the .capx file for anyone who wishes to view the code associated with the problem.

    Many thanks in advance!

  • ...Anyone?

  • Hello,

    I'm currently having some trouble with an animation that I'd like to do using the Ease Tween plugin.

    The basis of the animation is to have a cell split into two smaller cells and move away from each other (Kind of like you'd see in Asteroid when shooting a larger asteroid). Problem is that I have the cells split and are unsure how to have them move away from each other.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Not exactly what I was looking for but it might help regardless. I'm was thinking more of generating a path that leads to the player's last position and making the enemy follow that path.

  • It'd be a good idea to figure out the equation for having the sprite follow a already moving object. I'm trying to make a pac-man like game to sort of play around with this, and I'm beginning to wonder how I can get the sprite to follow the player. IS there a post I missed that has the equation for it?

  • It works, which is good. But now how would you point it to a file on your computer? like a video file within the project( someone should make it possible to import video files hint hint ;) ) Would you use a regular computer file URL or would you specifically have to upload it to a server?

  • There needs to be a small tutorial for putting video. After fooling around with it I still can't figure out how to use it. How exactly do you enter the URL source? Does it have to be uploaded to a server or can you put the file URL, if so how?
