R0j0hound got it :). I would consider R0j0 our community math export :)

That's pretty nifty. I like the idea of template with XML files. I should consider a plan like that. It would be nice for designers to easily design levels and load then load the level from a file.

Currently out team managed this apps.facebook.com/thebluecode in a month. I had the same plan to genericify this into more a tool for other adventure games. But each level is it's own layout. I did a lot of work to let designers handle room design. But that process still has a few hurdles to get over. The last 2 weeks were a major rush and some of the designer friendly facet was lost :|

The Blue Code

i'm hoping in a few months of changing the system into a tool for other C2 users. But the lack of modularity support makes using this system difficult for others when I make updates. As some updates will be very large.

floor() design is to round the value down.

ciel() designed to round the value up

round() designed to go to nearest.

so

floor(0.9) = 0

floor(1.8) = 1

floor(0.1 * 20) = 2

floor(0.1) * 20 = 0. Math done in brackets or functions are done first

ciel(0.9) = 1

ciel(1.8) = 2

ciel(0.1) = 1

round(0.9) = 1

round(1.8) = 2

round(0.1) = 0

Well you have an online system. Then you really don't have a choice. So yeah stick with the online system.

Now are you saying you need to out put that format or do you need to interpret the string into usable number?

Personally either way I would suggest going to where your getting the number and changing the way your getting the time.

in PHP using

mixed microtime ([ bool $get_as_float = false ] )

would return the time in milliseconds as of . which would be more fine precision for games.(http://php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php). I really wouldn't suggest working with a full calender time stamp, but instead a numerical one where time is measured off of unix epoch.

If you need to work with the string value. I would suggest using this as as a starting sample.

time = tokenate(date, 1, " ")

hour = int(tokenate(time, 0, ":"))

min = int(tokenate(time, 1, ":"))

sec = int(tokenate(time, 2, ":"))

*to note it might be stringtoint() or toInt() or something like that.

sec += min * 60

sec += hour * 60 * 60

... keep going for day, month and year. except I would get the difference of year as of launch year of the game.

I really suggest getting time in ms or seconds of the epoch. Doing so will reduce your work, the server programmers work, bugs and headaches.

<?php $t=time(); echo($t); ?>

That would be the easier.

Ok, thanks for letting us know :)

Ok. I love the NodeWebkit export. But I also noted that the .exe file alone is 30mb. No matter how big the project is the .exe is pretty much 30mb.

Of course this is entire browser system wich includes the WebKit + NodeJS. What I'm wondering is. At export time is it possible to reduce the size by not having certain features.

For example The Blue Code doesn't use WebSockets, Camera, Mic, WebRTC... and many other such features. It would be fantastic to be able to toggle these off and exclude them from the export. I'm not if it possible, but this would be a nice space saving feature :)

Strikes me that the basics are

WebView

NodeJS

WebGL

WebAudioApi

DOM Parser

Samantha thanks for sharing. I love the mixed bag. I hope you do very well in your composing career :)

*cough* modularity :D *cough*

I honestly don't see that the OP can't already be done. Sooner or later developers need to take that step themselves.

Also I think it's Rex, but there is a game server system and plugins called BottleNeck. So if you need chat rooms and stuff it's already done :)

However modularity is a functionality that can't be done on the our side just in Scirra's teams side.

That's pretty cool. I suspect this won't come with the optional exporters. But I'll buy it. You never know :) Thanks for the heads up.

Your gonig to then need to create a list with priorities. Can't say exactly how to do it. There are many ways. but if we are using your example you don't really need one. Just do the action you pressed. I think what your looking for is to NOT overide current priority as canceling is naturally built into programming.

pc.cur_priority

On Press Attack

if pc.cur_priority < pc.attack_priority

-> pc.animate stuff

-> pc.cur_priotiy = pc.attack_priority<1>

On Press Jump

if pc.cur_priority < pc.jump_priority

-> pc.animation stuff

-> pc.cur_priority = pc.jump_priority<2>

On Press Dash

if pc.cur_priority < pc.dash_priority

-> pc.animation stuff

-> pc.cur_priority = pc.dash_priority<1>

Now as we can see in this simple example assuming that idle = 0.

That from Idle the PC can do any and all action.

However from Attack, Dash cannot be done. But Jump can.

From Jump neither Dash or attack can be performed.

You may want to add timer triggers to reduce priority after a period of time.

On Press Dash

if pc.cur_priority < pc.dash_priority

-> pc.animation stuff

-> pc.cur_priority = pc.dash_priority<1>

-> wait(0.5) -> pc.cur_priority = 0

That way available actions can open up.
