    I created a CAPX in accordance with your instructions

    dropbox.com/s/6ef019rjkvj6ptp/test.capx

    Currently ships are overlapping in some times and the ship in vertical axis leaves at times of the playing area (sea sprite). I included a loop (repeat) to verify the overlap, but even so the boats are overlapping from time to time.

    Thank you for all these explanations. Were very detailed , though some points were a bit confusing for me (I'm starting to program ) .

    I had already changed the origin of the sprites to 0.0, as indicated in the previous post and I intend to keep it there.

    My idea is to make a panel with buttons and a display to show the equation and, on the left side, display area of the game ( whith ships in hidden) . This area should be slightly smaller than the height of the panel , so I talked about creating a space around the area of ??the game . I still do not understand how I can do to determine the position of the playing area .

    I also do not understand how to create random orientation to the ship (X / Y or left / right).

    To prevent the ship stayed along the margin , I am using ( int ( random ( 0,9 ) ) * 40 +40 ) for the first part of it . This solves the problem or not ? The tests done so far with the first part of the ship, worked very well.

    Another possibility to distribute the ships : if I create the sprites in the overall size of the ship ( eg 40px / 120 px) and then control it through overlapp event to know which object it is overlapping and how many pieces are still missing from this object through the local variables? This would be more complicated to do?

  • flibble: Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to follow.

    nimos100: Thank you so much for the explanations. I'm implementing now and I have some initial doubts:

    • I decided to use the size of 40px because 32 is very small in the cell. How can I create a space of 40 pixels around the entire area of ??the game (10x10 squares) to avoid the ship doesn't get along the margin.
    • I need to create a space around each ship also.

    In the tests that I did initially, the first part of the ship always appears on the X axis. How can I do for the ships appear in different orientations?

  • No problem.

    I need to know how to distribute the ships across the board, randomly, in the vertical and horizontal axes, so that they are not close together.

    I've one more question: The board will be divided into 100 squares (10x * 10y), if one ship can occupy more than one square, how to know which part of it was shot in the game?

  • Thanks nimos100

    Thank you for giving me suggestions. I have imagined something like this. The problem is that I do not know how to spread the ships across the board. The rest, I think I can implement alone. Could you give me an example? Thanks again.

  • I intend to create a game like battleship, but only for one player. Draws first and then distribute the ships across the board. Then the player must click on one of the points of intersection between the coordinates (X = 1-10 - Y = 1-10). From there is mounted an equation using the coordinates and if have a ship or part of it in that area, he will have to answer the equation in order to hit it. I need to know what the best way to build this game? How should I program the board and the distribution of ships (array? Do not understand anything). I want only some tips. Could anyone help me with this?

  • Hi mindfaQ

    I did exactly that and it didn't work. I discover the reason after: I put it all under "Trigger" event. Thanks anyway.

  • jayderyu

    Thanks for the explanations.

  • I have a sprite with 10 frames and 10 text fields with numbers in words. Wanted to know how I can do to check if a sprite set with frame 5 is overlapping a text field with the word "five"? I know that if I used separate sprites would be simpler, but I want to see if I can do this with frames. Thank you.

  • Has anyone tried using Construct 2 with Buzztouch (www.buzztouch.com) instead of Phonegap or CocoonJS? I wonder if it can work and how was the experience.

    Nice. You could create a IOS application for test because is not necessary a account.

    I already configured the system and installed the devkit. I'll get to test some applications tomorrow. Let me know if I can help you with something. Do you used the solution suggested for them (6 steps - (http://www.gameclosure.com/blog/2013/03/space-blaster-meets-mobile)?

  • Thanks szymek Colludium spy84 Be aware about the tutorial not easy as you think, it does contain a lot of steps.

    Joannesalfa

    Just one question: When you say that the tutorial will contain many steps, it is because you will show how to install the Game Closure's DevKit and how to use it? Because I understand that they are only 06 steps to adapt the game for mobiles. So you intend to explain all the process to create apps for android and Iphone?

  • I'll try to decipher it tomorrow. Anyway, Joannesalfa has already deployed game closure in several games and intends to create a tutorial soon (http://www.scirra.com/forum/ive-seen-the-comments-about-c2-and-cocoonjs_topic76530_page8.html).

  • I've got working C2 games with Game Closure, I will make tutorials soon.

    Great news and great expectations. I'm in line. :)

    Did you used the GC in a game produced in Construct 2? If yes, has experienced an improvement in performance?
