Thank you very much!!

Is there an easy way to apply 1 pixel (or any pixel) wide stroke around sprites on run-time?

I have searched WebGL effects already but I could find any effect to suit to my problem. If there is an effect, please let me know.

Quick example what I mean:

h*t*t*p*s://www.dropbox.com/s/00d5u6z6n13xd5s/example.pdf?dl=0

Of course I could create a new sprite 2 px bigger than the target sprite and place bigger one behind the target sprite. That would create a "fake" stroke effect to the sprite. Problem is, I want to apply stroke around sprites which are animated. That means, I need to make 2 px bigger versions of every possible animated sprites. To me, that sounds not very efficient way.

Ideas and examples are welcome ^^

Nice! That was also one of the points to have in the chain creation but I forgot to wrote about it. So your method is actually what I was looking for ^^ Thank you so much for your help!

R0J0hound, thank you for your quick reply

Yes, your method is much more simpler and easier to follow. I just learned something new, again ^^

I found a bit difference how the chain pieces are positioned between startsprite and endsprite comparing to my method and your method. Here are the screenshots:

my method

your method

I was wondering, what is causing this? Maybe something to do with the --- loopindex/(startsprite.chainAmount + 1)) ---part?

Hey everybody,

I have a bit different problem. I made an experiment for my upcoming game. I wanted to create chain between 2 objects. Also, I wanted that the amount of chains is adjustable AND chains are divided in equal distance between two objects. I hope that makes sense.

Here is a screenshot what I'm talking about:

Problem is, I don't understand how the math works in the event. Odd, ehh? I can create something but I don't understand it.

Here is a screenshot from my code:

I'm referencing to line 3 and precisely this: chain: set lerpNB to ---> (1 / StartSprite.chainAmount) * loopindex

Here is capx -file if somebody want to check the code in Construct2.

I think everybody knows that first you need to understand the problem, before you can solve the problem. I can understand both but I can't understand why results works. In particular in this case.

So, if somebody could explain to me why my code (line 3) is working, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much mindfaQ for your effort!! ^^

Now when you mentioned it. Dunno why I didn't think of doing the "spreadsheet" in Construct2 :/

Hey everybody,

Currently I’m making an adventure platformed game. In game, player collect coins (how original idea). After every level, player can use these coins to purchase 1 ups. Every 1up purchased will increase the 1up price by 1 (one). From levels player can also find items which will decrease the current 1up price by half.

I ran into a problem of calculating 1up price. I’m designing and figuring out, how many coins and price reduction items I need to place in levels for best balance. So I thought that easiest way of doing that is to create a spreadsheet, where I can input coin amount per level. That way, I could (in theory) easily play around with the coin amounts to find the best balance.

I tried and failed. Math isn’t my thing for sure. So could anyone help me to figure out how to make that spreadsheet? Even correct math formula is enough.

run-down:

At the beginning of the game: 1up price = 1 coin.

Every 1up purchased increases the 1up price by 1.

Item which will reduce the current 1up price by half.

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

Why?

There is a 'Bookmark Topic' link at the bottom of the page. Bookmarks are then managed through the 'User Control Panel' at the top of the page.

Oh, I didn't knew that. Thank you for pointing that out

zenox98, Thank you. I misunderstood you. English isn't my mother tongue.

Yrondi hasn't been on this forum since making the original post.

Thank you for informing me.

I've amended the scirra.com/tutorials/308/cl ... ics-pacman tutorial in question to include the original .capx so all can download.

Thanks <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> Lets hope that someone still owns the original .capx -file.

I sent a message to Professor Stemkoski. Maybe he still own the original .capx -file.

yrondi , do you still have the original capx -file from that tutorial? If you do have, could you share it?
