Hi all,

Does anyone know how to store real money currency in a global variable, then use a text object to display the currency, and on "every tick", subtract and add to the global variable with decimals 0.10 etc as you win win or lose.

I have been able to take the currency from my database and it shows correctly in a text field, but when i set a text object to display the global variable, it only shows 10, but it should show 10.00.

Regards,

Thank you very much. It works now.

Do you also know how to show the game in full screen mode hiding the windows interface completely like you have on Scirra Arcade?

Thanks for the reply,

It's not so easy in my case just to add the background layer over the balls because i have 3 layers with with moving stars and a plain black background. I also tried adding a layer for Mask and using destination in but i can't make it work, i tried placing the balls and mask on the same layer and seperate layer.

Maybe the photo below will give you a better idea of what i want to achieve. Please note that the lights are not on the same layer as the purple box, they are over it.

Hi all,

Maybe you can help me with this.

I have yellow balls moving down and when they reach the bottom they re-appear at the top. What i'm trying to accomplish is a way to hide the yellow balls when they go outside of the game area(purple area), so that they only appear when they are inside the gaming area.

I've tried reading tutorials online by adding different layers and using blend modes but can't seem to get it right. What happens is that either only the gaming area shows or only the sky etc, but i want both gaming area and sky to show just not the balls when they are outside in the sky area.

I manage to do it without layers by by snipping the area i want to show over the balls, cropping it and putting it back as a sprite and placing it exactly over the area i cut out if this makes sense, and adding that layer on top over the balls. I don't like this way because the precision is not always correct and you can see unwanted lines in the sprites.

I have attached an image showing how my scene looks like. Purple is gaming area, blue is the sky and yellow are the balls.

Hey.

I just tried uploading my game to the arcade but when i start the game it does not connect to my server. The game connects just fine on my own server. I'm using ajax to make the connections, and have a bunch of php scripts that sends data back and fourth to a database. I'm also using the full links with ajax like "http://mydomain.com/files/.

Do i need to add something do make it work? Or does the scripts and database have to be on the same server?

Hi.

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for using custom colored fonts (not black & white) and where one could get one, free or paid.

Here is an example of what i'm thinking about.

OK..

Got it working now..

Thank you, me too. I missed one of the '&' in the second variable.

Thank you to everyone who helped.

Regards

Edgar

Its not working.. haha

I will try again later.. gotta go, lunch time.

Ok, thanks for trying.

So then it might be an issue with ajax passing two variables together.

Anyone else able to replicate this or know if it's actually possible to do this?

Regards

Edgar
