Hello Lamar, will this be available to download as a capx at some point?

Well, I haven't decided yet how to release it.

I may keep it as a standalone sandbox designer you can use or provide a template with CAPX for people that want to buy my template and design their own pinball games.

When you say it doesn't work what is it doing when you run that event?

If you are using 360 degree rotations you will need to determine if bullet is at 0 degrees or subtracting 20 from 0 will not give you the right degree.

Add bullet angle >20 and it should work.

yeah flip image. Also, once i stop aiming and move around, it stays in that position

You need to set the position of the turret using Every Tick.

Every Tick: Set angle Turret to Mouse X Mouse Y

You can look at that CAPX I linked to and see how I do it using mouse or touch.

You can add a random spread to the bullet or add sine to the enemy which makes it tougher to hit the target.

I use sine for a lot of enemies as it creates a more natural AI.

I can't see your image?

There are many ways to add help to a game.

If the game is complicated I usually include a help screen and a button to that in the start up menu that takes the user to a new layout with help explained.

You can do it using layers all in the same layout but I hate having to open and close and hide layers and it makes it easier to edit the help screen if it is in a new layout.

If your game needs many help screens then using layers might work better.

I have been publishing media since before the internet so I know how to advertise and make money off my 3rd party ads.

I have been down the road with google adsense and the pay per click is just not going to bring any significant revenue in my opinion. Most people never click the banners.

I make much more from video views and Amazon ads than I ever made from click banners.

I have a game nearly ready to publish that is a football derivative with quarters and a half time break.

So what I am thinking is to have a clickable ads from my Amazon account at each quarter and a video from my channel at half time that the user will click and will open in another web page while they progress through the game.

The amazon ads will be related to gaming and so will the video.

Any thoughts and if you have tried other advertising in your games put it in the comments please?

there is a small problem ive just discovered. i set a gun to the mouse for rotation, but when turn it to the other side, it rotates. How do i fix this problem?

You mean the image flips?

You can set the sprite to NO in rotations and choose just left and right directions and use mirror.

If it is a turret this is my Turret CAPX:

Just slightly sarcastic, with a bit of irony.

And then theres this.

Oh OK. I do think instant gaming will replace apps and another step is a program like that where you download a bunch of games and they can be played offline and you can update online with new games when you want for a small monthly fee or with included advertising.

Many ways to make revenue from games and it is just really being explored now!

Maybe they should make an offline version of the arcade too.

I guess that was supposed to be funny?

Yes i do

OK upload your CAPX to dropbox or one of the free file storage websites and post the link and I will look it over.

You can click on my profile and PM me the link if you want.

its finished, how do i pm the file to you

Hold on before you do that.

Do you have the character set up as a platformer and do you have platforms set up for them to move around and jump on?

You need platforms and that can be any simple sprite filled with a color and set to solid.

When you have all your platforms created for your first level and your sprite animations changing in events when you push a key let me know and we will go to the next step.

You will be using the keyboard so add that to your layout and look at the platformer example in C2 to see how to set up your controls.

The arcade page and all games are down again.

My games are all working but still can't download the CAPX so I had to include a separate link.

Makes me wonder how they can run an online editor using cloud if they can't keep the arcade functioning.

Sorry but I am a bit peeved at Scirrra lately.
