I tried to use pathfinding behaviour to draw these paths. But there are some problems:

1 - How can I control the lenght of the path?

My solution to this is generating random obstacles for paths' complexity. You think that'll do the job? Or is there a smarter way?

2 - I need my path drawer to move inside the grids. How can i do that? I disabled the diagonal option but it seems to go diagonal at corners.

3 - Finding the shortest path is also a problem. I need random paths but shortest way causes repetitive paths. Maybe that's solution is related to first one.

and here is my capx

Thanks in advance.

Thanks BluePhaze, I'll check them out.

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if this is asking too much (if it is, sorry) but my question is this,

I have a 6*8 grid and i want to generate a simple random path which connects two corners of it (or any two grid-squares as start and finish points other than corners). Here is an exemple (red is the path):

And i also want to have control over this path's complexity, (more complex paths for further levels) like this exemple below:

<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87325929/complexPath.png" border="0" />

I gave each grid (they're sprites) two instance variables as coordinates (like this [gridX=0, gridY=3] etc), and i am trying to change their frame (to red) but i am stuck at this point, i can't use these variables to select the right squares :/

Didn't upload the capx because there is nothing in it.

Thanks a lot in advance.

How can we browse all games in this gamejam? Do we have to wait till 30rd april to see them all in a list?

thanks Dave Hailwood.

By entering this jam or accepting any of the prizes do we bind ourselves with a some sort of license agreement with Newgrounds? For exemple can we delete our game from Newgrounds?

mineet thanks again :)

thanks — another person also warned me about this problem (with screenshots) but i still don't know what can i do about it.

The site's hosting service is provided by 1freehosting (as far as i know they are solid but) maybe this problem is related with them.

But if anybody can tell me what can i do about this i'll appreciate it.

By the way i learned a new way for making graphics for my games thanks to a site once — mentioned, and that means there won't be any bad pixel art for my next games :) that's good news for your eyes and also a relief for real pixel artists.

Here is the site and what i did is below (i tried to stay loyal to my original pixel art character)

thank you mineet

sqiddster thanks for kind words. I like it too but most people don't :/

fluke939 Thank you for your reasonable advices. But i think i'll keep it more tranquil for now. My main purpose is to make the main content (the game in this case) more visible and getting rid of distractors. Like a clearly [by evernote] for games.

here is clearly evernote.com/intl/tr/clearly

i strongly recommend it by the way.

fluke939 Yes you are right. I think i should keep examining other sites for inspiration. And i need a little more content too.

What can i add to the site other than new games for now? My plan is making more and better games in future but what can i add there before making those games?
