I made a demo to play with -

All it does is simply add or subtract from the platform x/y vector variables when overlapping the green or red boxes.

The red one slowly addes more force the longer you overlap.

You can then create wind/springs or other effects.

This looks pretty interesting - to use for smoke/particle effects :

I thought I'd created a topic, but I didn't, so here it is.

Feedback appreciated, AI , gameplay and an actual 'win' scenario are still work in progress.

Curious to know how it runs on other machines.

Seems to get great FPS in firefox, chrome not so much.

If you're curious to see what it evolved from, see here:

I'll try get around to a tutorial at some point, and I should post when it's not midnight and I'm burned out from too much coffee but the basic process I used for schmup was to create a family with basic behaviours, like follow player if line of sight and on screen, fire if the player falls within a certain angle etc, then elaborated for sub classes, like the snake/turret things, or the claw monsters that fly towards you and spin.

Excellent work, very well handled with the tutorial element and easy to follow use of colour with the traps/saves etc.

The only criticism I would have, assuming you're still working on this would be to (as mentioned already ) try do it without the 3rd party plugins, for a new user there's plenty to learn right out the box, so simplifying that would be helpful to them.

Are you going to put a beta out soon?

Hi guys, could you please can you delete :

scirra.com/arcade/example/950/mouse-zoom-example
scirra.com/arcade/action/2505/recoil
and

scirra.com/arcade/example/1014/wind-example
I'd uploaded a new one thinking the old one was corrupted, and now it's working again. <img src="smileys/smiley12.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

The mechanic of the colour changing and solid/non-solid platforms is nice.

Heptagono - did you try turning the variables into a string?
something like:

ColourVar="rgb("&str(RedValue)&","&str(GrnValue)&","&str(BluValue)&")"

The ColourVar would be a string variable, the RedValue,GrnValue and BlueValue would be integers.

You could add a fullscreen button in the arcade version, and have the layout as letterbox scaling.

You may want to use something like imgur or similar to host images, as the host site is not allowing remote linking/embedding of the pictures.

Here's what I'd do, to create a windows style button :
