hello everyone:

on my game menu screen, i have a 3 sprite objects showing custom imagines that depict difficulty levels (e.g, "easy", "regular", "hard"). so when you left-click "easy", the easy sprite changes to show that it's highlighted.

my problem is this: the left-click "code" works, exactly as i wanted but it's not responsive...sometimes i left-click on the sprites nothing happens, and so i end up left-clicking all over the "easy" sprite until the code is "activated" and the image changes. i have the same "unresponsive" issue with the other 2 sprites, what can be the problem and how shall i correct it?

please help, this is not a good way to have my game working...with unresponsive menus, right from the get go.

i didn't even think about that! simple yet awesome: just combine the different color/patterns into a larger "tile" and then tile that over and over. great thanks zatyka, i really appreciate your help :-)

i want to use The Tiled Background object, to create a tiled board similar to a chess board (alternating colors, or patterns repeated over a fixed size board).

the example in the online manual (here: scirra.com/manual/118/tiled-background) has the same star-pattern repeating again and again (not an alternating pattern).

My question is this: is it possible to use the tiled background object to do what i want (if so how), or shall i "code" the logic using C2's existing behaviors, etc.

does anyone know/have an example they'd like to share?

thanks a million, in advance.

Kyatric just catching up on the videos on youtube; and the instructor referred to some other videos you had also made. where/how can i see the videos you've made? thanks

damn, i was afraid of that. thanks for the quick reply though. maybe a future upgrade will have it. thanks again.

guys, is there a way to give the player the option to save music into a set folder (say, gameXYZ_music) and the game play all the music in that folder during the game, as background music?

are there any plug-ins that do such a thing?

thanks a million, for any help you can offer.

hello everyone.

i looked around this forum; and also the [How do I]Frequently asked questions but i couldn't find an example of a top-down terrain generator (does not have to be isometric, could be simple top-down view). does anyone have an example they can share?

thanks a million, in advance.

thanks a million; i appreciate the heads-up on the original question and the advice on performance hit for mobile devices (i did not know that, and that's one of the intended platforms)...based on your performance advice, i have to now reconsider development (taking out particles, substituting other "eye candy").

hello everyone:

i have noticed that for there are a couple of software tools created in GameMaker that give their developers on that platform a quick GUI interface for creating/testing different particles and exporting the underlying pseudo-code into GameMaker for their games.

granted C2 is more powerful, versatile, and inherently GUI compared to GameMaker; but nonetheless, is there a tool/software for C2 that lets you quickly click on a few buttons and "test"/compare particles?

thank you in advance for your help.

thank you everyone for the speedy replies. the linke Nimtrix provided and the updated example from Kyatric were exactly what i was looking for. thank you all

Kyatric

i saw that example before posting my question...that's not what i was looking for. if you picture a slot machine with the different "fruits", "7" rolling down through the spinner before landing on a particular random combination...that rolling-animation of the sprite-strip is what i needed help...not sure how the contiguously flashing-colors addresses that. if you can help, i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks.

guys, i've searched the forum (and google) for C2 slot machine effect (rolling sprite strip) either [1] i found no examples, or [2] the example with links had bad-url (the link was broken). does anyone have an example (or advice) on how to create a smooth animation that simulates a slot machine rotating?

thanks in advance for your help.
