  • you could try the Pin+ plugin - I think that will do what you want. I see Dop2000 just posted an update that fixes a bug, so look for his download near the end of the thread...

  • I seem to remember someone recently having similar trouble - until they used ssl.

    so, try installing a free ssl certificate and use https://

  • are you using families? did the new sprite object get added to the family? if the names are similar, are you sure you are trying to destroy the correct object? if there are multiple frames or animations, are the collision boxes correct on all frames? have you tried outputting messages to the console log to make sure the collision is actually happening...

  • What I did was make the button a container and put the text object in it, so that it will be automatically picked with the button. I also gave the button an instance variable with the name of the function to call when a button is clicked... then one event can be used for any number of buttons.

    I use an “every tick” event to reset all the buttons and text objects (since they are all picked by default). Then the mouse over and mouse click events filter out the ones we don’t want. So no for each loop is needed.

  • if you want, you could post a sample capx with just the tank body and turret for me to test. Do you have a lot of different tanks?

  • looks awesome! :)

    that would look great in an under-water scene as well.

  • if you use create object to create a new family instance, you will get a random member of the family (unless you give it the object name you want - not the family name).

    but if you save the UID of an object, you can pick by UID using the family name and will get the object you want - not a random instance.

  • if your player is using the Platform behavior, then when you start the attack animation, you can use "Set ignoring input" to have your player not respond to any input.

    then use the animation trigger "On Finished" to stop ignoring input when the animation is done.

  • I would probably do what Dop suggested, but you can also create the object by its name to get the color you want, then use the family name to simplify code in other areas. (The UID will be the same whether you pick by the object name or the family name.)

    another advantage of Dop's suggestion is that you could then add the object to a container so that the correct instance is picked with the parent object.

    since particles can't have animations or frames, you will either have to use the "Set Color" option or a family...

  • you can ask the question as many times as you like, it doesn't change the answer... :)

    the base sprite must be one pixel wider so that the rotation point can be in the middle. No one will be able to see the difference - other than the turret rotating better!

    here is a quick test I made to look like your tank:

  • Awesome game! :) there are some very well designed levels in there.

  • here is what I came up with...

    I use a blank card, which is a container that has the sprite fonts for the numbers required (this automatically picks them when a card is picked). Without a separate card image for every question and answer, the game is a lot smaller in size.

    swipe from the right to reveal answers, next question...

    when you swipe from the left, it goes back to the last question (it doesn't go back to an answer).

    after testing for a bit, the swiping gets a little tiring... might want to thing about a tap to reveal the answer on the current card, and then a swipe for the next card.

    if you wanted to go up to 12x tables, you would have to shrink the font. I tried making the font proportionally spaced so that more characters could be displayed, but I thought it is batter to keep digits in fixed columns to help reinforce that the columns matter.

    the Symbol sprite has animations for division, addition and subtraction - so it wouldn't be hard add extra modes from the menu layout...

  • to do a random order, and not have duplicates, you normally would put the numbers in an array, shuffle the array and then remove the number as it is chosen. Since you only want to choose a question, not an answer, you would put the even number frames in the array: 0,2,4,6,8...

    I had a couple ideas I wanted to try last night - I will take a crack at it tonight. Rather than have a separate layout for each times table, I would use one, and just pick the appropriate sprites. I also wanted to try pinning a sprite font to a blank card too - so that it would be easy to expand up to 12x or any other number, and allow addition, subtraction, division.

  • I had made a sample yesterday too, but since you said you were going in a different direction I didn't post it...

    but since Kyatric did, I thought I would too. :) I use two instances of a sprite "Pages" so that the next frame can slide over the current visible one. It is very snappy - I thought about using tweens but decided I liked that you can slide a page on slowly if you want, or quickly. if you slide the page less than 1/3 of the way on the screen, it goes back off-screen.
