I was just thinking how would you code it to autostart the level jumping past the start up screen layout. That may be a way around it.

So there is no way around the click or tap issue? or is there a different way to code it?

Thanks

I'm working on making a level 2 with ninja's with different weapons, background, life hearts, poison.

I want to add ninjas that will pop up and if you don't kill them fast enough they attack.

I'm really enjoying this. Never thought I could put something like this together. Hopefully I can get to a decent level of expertise and bang out some fun stuff. For now I have to build off of templates and learn by tweaking them and asking questions.

One question though when I look at the game on my phone the mouse clickable parts (like click to play) are not touch activated. Any advise on this?

Also what dimensions on the layout do you recommend for playing on most mobile devices?

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

What I've got so far:

O.K thanks everybody that has helped so far.

I've found some tutorials and added a start and finish screen.

Now onto adding harder levels.

Since this is my first game should I make the additional levels on different layouts and event sheets and have the game progress as it hits a certain score?

That makes the most sense to me but I ask because there may be a different way to do it.

The game so far:

Now I'd like to add a start (instructions) screen

and a play again button on the end screen.

I'm not seeing anything in the tutorials or maybe I missed it.

Perfect thanks so much!

I just want it to play once when it reaches 0 lives.

I thought the "play gameover not looping" was supposed to do that. How do I add the trigger?

Here is the latest link:

ramones BINGO! Now it works.

However I'm having a really weird problem now. When I have the lives reach 0 I have it set to play a sound of someone saying "game over" and show an end screen. But when this happens the sound is totally screwed up. It almost sounds like someone has all the keys of an organ keyboard pressed at the same time. It's ugly.

Any idea's?

Thanks for all the help everyone.

THANKS! I am learning a lot. I appreciate the help.

I made that change and it works great.

Now I'm jammed up with the lives and death screen.

Any idea why I keep adding lives when a bomb is hit? That one is driving me crazy.

I'm trying to have it where you have 3 lives you hit a bomb and it shows a game over screen and plays the sound 'Game over'. I thought it would be easy but I'm going a bit crazy. For some reason it's adding lives and then it doesn't play the sounds.

I am happy though that with no experience at all at this I can slog through it and make something cool. Payday I'm going to take the plunge and buy the program.

Thanks for the help.
