  • some "thoughts"

    player variable:

    z

    iex player.y - 100 offset indicating first level

    either use the 100, or a dedicated variable to determine level

    z=0 set active level 0

    z =100, set activelevel 1

    z=200, set activelevel 2

    etc

    cupboards, doors, walls, spiders enemies, players etc etc, all belong the family allobjects, and have instance var, activelevel, and set them during development.

    events:

    allobjects on collision with player

    player.activelevel = allobjects.activelevel

    action:

    do some bumpage

    Level appearance and interaction mechanic, perform on peer and host

    event

    player.peerid = multiplayermyid

    for each allobjects

    sub

    player.activelevel = allobjects.activelevel

    action

    allobjects opactiy 100%

    allobjects collisions enabled

    else

    allobjects opacity 50%

    allobjects collisions disabled

    just sync peer's activelevel instance variable determined by the peer going up/down stairs

    The peer will appear on other peers and host set by activelevel.

    It can deduce the Z from the given active level, requiring less synching overhead

  • That was fun.

    Suggestion: Would be nice if the tank turned on key pressed and hold, but still turning in increments.

    Noted ^_^

    Was good play indeed, it seemed very smooth

    Thanks

    Web RTC can be iffy

  • I made some progress with the game.

    I have it in the google store, you can find it here: Finger neurosis in the google play store.

    I am not fond of the way google game services needs to login.

    The high scores work, I should look into more fancy leaderboards, though.

    Been wrestling with some of those achievements, but that is for a later update.

    I used intel xdk with the cordova material.

    I wanted to try the ios export, sadly my developer license expired, lol, should look into renewing.

    I got an win8 app working too, just need a license for the windows store too ... should also not take too long

    There is a banner at the bottom.

    I had been pondering making it a paid version, but I'll see ...

    I am sure the audio and the styling could do with some improvement, but I wanted to get things going.

  • Perhaps it is not the time of collision you are looking for.

    2 overlap checks in 1 event.

    Event

    player a is overlapping Finish

    player b is overlapping Finish

    action

    go to layout

    for time tracking purposes, you could give each player its own variable: starttime, endtime

    and respectively set them at each event, after which you can use them in all sorts of calculations.

  • something like:

    set bat.Y to clamp(touch.Y, ViewportBottom(0), ViewportTop(0))

    perhaps ?

    Assuming your borders are outside the layout.

    check the clamp() expression for limiting number usage. (which can be x or y )

  • Read from dictionary and append text.

  • For the use of repetitive formulas/events I would use functions.

  • Wow Lennaert, that's really cool. I would play that. Haven't seen you around for a while, good to see you back. I'm still working on the same game... lol

    Hey Burvey, thanks, it is good to be busy again

    And you are still on the same game, must have gotten quite far already

    It works on any length lines. It just relies on the lines being created in order. Also don't have any other lines off screen. I think I swapped some variable names so it's confusing. You can eliminate the need for variables if you add a imagepoint to the right-center of the line object and do this:

    For each Sprite
For each line
    | compare: line.y>sprite.y != line.ImagePointY(1)>sprite.y
    | sprite: x < (line.ImagePointX(1)-line.x) * (sprite.y-line.y) / (line.ImagePointY(1)-line.y) + line.x
    -----
        + Sprite: set animation frame to 1-Sprite.AnimationFrame[/code:1a0q17d6]

    That is perfect with the above code it worked out of the box.

    I had an issue where the destruction of the lines occurred too quick, and I did not notice the last line extending to 0,0 , fixed that.

    But it still had the issue where it also selected the sphere to its bottom left if it was really close to the line, I changed to your code above and it seems to work instantly.

    Very much appreciated, R0j0hound !

    progress

  • Been tinkering with it —

    It appears as the formula relies on short tiny lines. Where I use single big ones for each connection. As it works now, when I start with the first connection at the top of the screen, and a red is outside the circle of connections, but close to a line (bottom, left, to be precise, but close then the bottom left of a line, it also counts them as 'in'.

    I havent uploaded it yet, as I was giving it a day to ponder about it: coming to the conclusion I should just create tiny invisible lines under the bigger ones.

    Hope that made some sense, on mobile at work atm.

    Elliott, saw the pm, will get on it when I get home.
