I wouldn't exactly say that was a curved path....its two separate movements..once they start moving they touch the score HUD then move down to the other box HUD...

Tweening can be done ..even manually like you attempted..you were on the right track for manual tweening.

Try 'moving' your object to the co ordinates but stop short by say 20 or 30 pixels, then do some micro adjustments to close the gap..

Also those butterflies look like they have a slight 'sine' function on them for added movement variation...both horizontal and verticals ..

Try adding those behaviors also and toggling their values at each movement call...

I use sine behaviors for nearly all butterfly or movement tweening ..if you tweak it just right you can get some fantastic smooth movements and random variations....:-) :-) hope that helps...

I think Bluephaze means create a 'global ' event sheet with all the nuts and bolts on it..and just include that to each level sheet. I tend to do that with all my projects...even going so far as to break global functions up into individual sheets for like...say 'physics' specific stuff, certain game mechanics or separate 'enemy' functions/events/ai on a single sheet then just mix and match depending on what you require for each level..

So specific events or functions are grouped and given their own event sheet...works great for me but you gotta be organized and systematic ...think 'plug and play' style component event sheets and you are there...in style:-)

Yes joannesalfa I'm glad you posted that...it was a golden oldie..seriously folks...I know its boring but most of all this stuff was covered explained and well pwned way back....archives are there for good reason...so you can all share the brainiacs of the old school elite at play......joannesalfa being one of them from way back....:-) :-) :-) top work digging up that "old" fossil...oh the joyful flashbacks:-)

We all wanna get a coin though don't we? :)

I am going to be real boring, lame & almost trollish and say" shouldn't this thread be in the 'how do I? ' section??

...wanna be a good game designer? Try to put things in the right spot....:-) :-) :-)Just saying

OK..well aside from doing the beginners platformer tutorials...that action is most likely just a simple key press command linked to an animation call and a move command..of x number of pixels in a certain direction ..or a simple move call with different animation...if that makes no sense then really its beginners tutorials 101 for you..:-) :-) welcome aboard..yes you've chosen the BEST tool for making games like that...:-) :-) :-) bravo...now get reading those beginners tutors..there is no other way...we all did it..:-) :-) :-)

If you posted some samples of what you want people might better be able to offer services...game art is hard work..speaking as a pro designer of 25 years experience..it takes knowledge patience skills and time..usually that cost moolah..artist do eat too...sometimes we have electricity bills too...help us as much as you can and its makes our job easier..vague descriptions of what you want will produce vague results...:-) :-)

What I mean is ..this ...

InvaderX.   While you can take plenty of shortcuts in many games systems or functions..random seed generation of a map or dungeon level isn't really the place to skimp or skip learning..

Basically if you want to implement a system that you don't understand..you are really barking up the wrong tree..Simply put..There is no substitute for knowledge or learning.

That being said ..Any one can figure it out...me personally ..

I would create a few systems that interacted with each other during layout start.

The basic system of determining the actual tile to be placed would be done via an Array with an associated generation formula. This system would pass or pipeline the seed generation concept to the actual layout via another separate 'Tile Placement System'.

The main component to start with would be to create a large enough "Array" (see manual if you arent quite certain what an array is) that aligns with the actual layout dimensions in respect to your individual Tile size, so for example..if your layout is 512x512 and your tiles are 64x64 the size of your Array would most likely be an 8x8 grid Array.

This Array should ideally be used only for the generation of your tile pieces and their placement..then i'd figure out a system or calculation based on Variables and/or simple rules that establish the placement of the graphic tiles PER Array grid square on your screen layout according to their respective or corresponding xy coordinates ..The result of which would then be referenced by the placement system .

For areas such as borders you could set a constant value for the bounding edge grids of the array so that it always passed solid walltiles to the placement system...does that makes sense?

I just thought that seeing as android is vastly outselling even PC's it might be nice to get a port happening..I cant see any reason why C2 couldn't run on android tablets..they are more than powerful enough..my nexus 7 with is much older can run mega apps...

Check this article on android sales...one of many...might be worthwhile investing the time to a port....:-) just a thought..I know I would be one of the first down loaders...:-)

Cheers..

android sales article

Yes please..this would be a big request from me...personally I can't see any reason why it wouldn't port..I use a nexus 7 running android. To get C2 running would be dreamy..huge bump!:-)   pretty please Ashley..I have a huge workstation PC..but often I want to do C2 event sheet scripting when I am just out wandering and inspired...

From what you said..it seems you didn't add the 'has cash' condition also ....try adding that extra condition to your mouse over condition too for each event respectively
