The first result is what you're looking for.

As an alternative, you could move a large amount of the logic into a plugin.

Is the picture a power of two size? Examples:

2x2

4x4

8x8

16x16

32x32

64x64

128x128

Also, when measuring something on the screen, use pixels.

I have a license, so I'm allowed to make stuff for profit. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> But as superkew said, it depends upon the complexity of the game.

I'm working on a game that is very similar to the Silent Realms in Zelda: Skyward Sword except in two dimensions. I can't seem to find the sounds/music for the Silent Realm online, and because the original game is in 3D, I can't find any pre-made graphics for it. I already altered some graphics to make it look like the Silent Realm, but it's getting too time-consuming and I'm not that good at it. I'd rather spend my time making the actual game than with making graphics and sound. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Sadly because this game is free, all I can offer in return is a spot on the credits page in the menu.

Here are some screenshots of what I have so far: (last updated 7/8/2012)

Here is a list of what I need specifically: (last updated 7/8/2012)

[X] = Have it.

[_] = Needed.

[-] = Don't have it and don't need it but would be a bonus.

• Sound/Music (Either from the original game, or that closely matches what you would hear in the original game.)
  • [_] Guardians are asleep (From just one of the areas will do.)
  • [_] Link got caught and the guardians are waking up.
  • [_] Link is being chased by the guardians.
  • [_] Sound that is played when you grab a tear.
  • [-] Link got too close to one of the watchers that follow you, and it made that jingling sound.
  • [_] Sound that is played when Link step into the safe circle after collecting all of the tears.
• Graphics (Should be Zelda-styled) Important Note: When the guardians are asleep everything has cool colors (mostly blue). When They wake up, almost everything turns into warm colors like red or orange. Keep this in mind when making the graphics.
  • [_] Dirt and transition between dirt and grass. (The grass part should be transparent because the grass will change colors.)
  • [_] Mountain tiles. (GB-styled because aLttP mountains are complicated.) Any grass that overlaps the mountain should be transparent because the grass will change colors. It should support heights from 16 pixels and up.
  • [-] Waking Water. (Just make a animated rectangle of it about 200x150 pixels. I'll edit it in Gimp to give it the shape I want.)
  • [-] Better looking (but still similar) fence than in the screenshots. (Horizontal and vertical.)
  • [_] Knight Guardian (Either from scratch or altered from Minish Cap Darknut sprites.) 4 directions (up, down, left, right) for each:
    • Asleep with sword stabbed in ground.
    • (Optional) Standing up and lifting sword.
    • Standing in place, looking around for Link.
    • (Optional) Preparing to charge.
    • Charing forward.
    • Attacking.
  • [_] Ghost Guardian (Either from scratch or altered from existing Zelda sprites.) 4 directions (up, down, left, right) for each:
    • Asleep
    • Foating slowly toward Link in a very creepy fashion.
    • Attacking.
  • [_] Sky Watcher (Either from scratch or altered from existing Zelda sprites.) 4 directions (up, down, left, right) for each:
    • Foating high with light pointing straight down.
    • (Optional) Link has been spotted and watcher is disappearing.
  • [-] Earth Watcher (Either from scratch or altered from existing Zelda sprites.) 4 directions (up, down, left, right) for each:
    • Hovering above ground.
    • Link got too close and watcher is following Link.
    • Link has been spotted and watcher is dissapearing.

If you want to be a beta tester and you know what that means, just say so and I will send you a copy when the game goes in beta. (Right now it's in early development.)

Thank you. Problem solved.

I'm making a game like Minesweeper, but I can't think of a way to have the game count the bombs around each space. I am using a 64px x 64px grid. Each space has a sprite called Rock (because it looks like a square rock). At the start of the layout, it will For Each through all of the rocks twice. Once to randomly place bombs (without putting more than one on the same spot by accident), and a second time to put Kreptons (money) of appropriate value in each of the remaining spaces. The Krepton sprite has different frames and an instance variable to determine how much each is worth. I want it to put specific amounts Kreptons in the space depending on how many bombs are around it (9 x 9 or 192px x 192px area with the current space in the center).

I'm afraid that if I put in another loop inside the second For Each loop, that it would make the game slow. Is there a way to count them without a loop? I tried this, but bcount is always zero.

I guess it's best not to use layer effects in that case. However, I have to use the Particle plugin because it's for the contest. Thanks but, I go with delgado's idea.

Using the Particles plugin, is there a way to give each particle a random color?

Since the Particles plugin doesn't support multiple sprites, I tried to fake it by using a large colorful image and sprite effects, but it's not working. Not even the Sprite Effects example works. :(

Here is the demo and capx. Just click anywhere in the game area to trigger particles.

Demo

Capx

Create a System->Compare Two Values event. Then go to System and find the distance function. (It's under Math.) Plugin the player and enemy's X and Y properties. Example: distance(Player.x, Player.Y, Enemy.X, Enemy.Y). Then change equals to less than, and type a number in the second box for the distance (in pixels).

If by group you mean that all of the sprites are part of one big object and move together, then yes it's possible but not easy.

If by group you mean that all of the sprites are separate but part of a family, then this feature comes with a license.

Thank you, Ashely
