thanks, but again, that just registers time spent playing the game....I'm looking to register the movement of the tiled background

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I asked the right way....my problem is more about registering the travel of the tiled background. As it moves from one side of the screen to the other, I'd like a ticker to count up.

My version of the game doesn't automatically scroll from the start of the layout, as in the Flying template....in mine, you have to hit SPACE to set everything in motion. But when I do the "every tick" method, it starts counting as soon as the layout loads....which leads me to think it's actually registering the passage of time instead of distance. Am I wrong about that? If so, what do I need to do to resolve this? thanks again

I have a scrolling tiled background setup like the one in the Flying template. I know how to make a text display a global variable....but how do I make it count up each time the tiled background passes by?

Just to be clear....we download it, & that's it? We're automatically entered?

Congrats, & thanks for giving me the chance to learn a new skill

awesome thread, thanks for starting it

that's been driving me nuts, too....I just skipped it & started making my own buttons from scratch

congrats....this is really solid software

Congrats on a really great game

I haven't played it yet, but I looked at the screencap on your site....really nice artwork, especially on the tile collection. The text at the bottom (GCP, ACB, etc) is the only thing I see that could use improvement....maybe a different font, or different color..it just gets kinda mixed in with the high contrast background art as it is. You have an eye for design...have you thought about making your own font? (Can we even do that?)

congrats on a well-made game

sweet

good ideas on the reorganizing...much clearer
