Hi guys,

Is there any impact in creating games for multiple platforms with Scirra? Are they features that will only work on one plaform and no the other, or is Scirra designed in a way that it only offers features that are accessible to all platforms supported?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Is there a way of requesting input from the user? Say an inputbox where they put their name if they get a high score? Or do we just let them fill the text box in and store the data into a local storage key?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have a title page with a fish on it, and I want the fish to jump out of the water. This would require it to move and rotate along a curved line of movement.

Is this possible in Scirra? To have a sprite follow a curved path that can be drawn? Or is there a plugin that enables this?

Thanks heaps!

Hi guys,

I have a fish sprite on my title page, and a lake. I want the fish to look like it's coming out of the lake. Is there a way to bring the background to the front for a specific box area I select?

The lake is just above the bottom of the screen but not quite, so I want the area of the background under the lake to be at the front so the fish is 'invisible'.

Is this possible?

Thanks heaps!

Hey guys,

It would be great if layer and function selection boxes offered drop downs or even auto-suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Does Scirra provide the ability to utilize components of the different systems? It's probably impossible but I was just going to throw the question out there. For example Android has Google Maps. I wasn't sure if someone might have created a plugin to access those types of services.

Thanks!

Awesome thanks for that. Great help!

Hi all,

I know Scirra has effects you can apply to the sprites, but how about when a particular event has occurred?

Say for example if bullet collides with enemy, enemy loses 1 healthpoint and sprite is set to grayscale for 0.4 seconds then effect removed. I've used this in Stencyl and it's a great effect to show an enemy has been hit.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I really want to create my first game as an endless runner. I'm not 100% sure how the template does what it does, but that's for another day. I have a couple of questions:

1. The template uses a block, but how do I make the ground look connected (smooth) rather than using blocks? Is it as simple as having a block that is the one texture with no borders?

2. What would I need to do to keep the score as a high score? I created another label called HighScore. Added a sub-event to the System - Every Tick that says If TotalDistance > High Score then HighScore = TotalDistance, but it stops at a number after 600, usually around 602 or 604...even though TotalDistace keeps going. It also resets HighScore but I want it to keep the score.

Thanks heaps!

Hey Farieh, that would work, but I want to bound them to the layout without having to put an edge around the screen. I set the enemy sprite to have the bound to layout behaviour but that doesn't seem to work.

Although on my layout screen the viewable area has a dashed line with more white space beyond that. Not sure if that's correct?

Thanks!

Thanks Plinkie, that worked great! Any ideas how to stop the enemy from simply going off the screen to avoid the obstacles?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

First time using the pathfinding function and it doesn't want to work? Can you please take a look and let me know where I went wrong?

Thanks
