In my experience many objects doesn't slow down as much as testing collision with many objects. The built-in behaviors that respond to solid collisions will cause a major slowdown when there are many solid objects.

I did an experiment with a very big level with over 6000 collision tiles. Since it's grid based I used an array to store whether or not a particular grid position was solid. I then position 9 "col" sprites with the solid behavior around the player so that the built-in behavior has something to work with. So now instead of collisions being tested against 6000 objects they will only be tested against 9.

I haven't had a chance to examine your capx. It need to be near exactly the same to work correctly (eg. event order/expressions). My suggestion is to just take my capx and make changes to it so it's like your game.

For bigger window sizes the only things you need to change with the events is the clamp expressions. Right now they are "clamp(something, something, 1000)", just change the 1000 to some number bigger than the width of the window. Also in event 56 part of the expression is "576*416", that is the original width/height of Sprite, and should be changed to whatever size you make it.

The only way to do it without a third party plugin is to split the text up into separate text objects per word.

There has not been any file type changes since 0.99.96, the only difference is the version.

You should be able to roll back your cap to version r1.2 with this:

No problem for me with winxp. Perhaps it's a win7 specific issue?

When the walls or "neg" objects are visible and collides with an enemy the player is killed (moved to his last outside position).

When the "neg" objects are invisible the enemy bounces off them.

The "neg" objects are made invisible when the player moves on & off the green, and they are done being used to cut up the green.

Use the windows api through python to do it:

It is a bug with the export with r81.

Bug and workaround here:

Those bugs all stem from that one bug I mentioned at the end of my first post. Change the repeat in event 53 from 20 to 100 and that should reduce the occurrence. What needs to be done is a proper flood fill algo that fills completely in on tick.

I decided to have a go at this type of game using only the included plugins so it can potentially be uploaded to the arcade.

The events are not very well organized and I probably should have added more comments, but at least it works.

My approach was to slice a sprite up into smaller sprites, then do a flood fill from the balls to find the isolated areas.

One flaw it has is the green can sometimes clear prematurely. This is caused by an incomplete flood fill. You can increase the repeat count in event 53 to make a incomplete fill less likely.

You need to re-structure your events so that "collision=0" is also a sub-event of the loop.

+------+------------------+
|System| Repeat 1000 times|
+-+----+------------------+
  +------+----------------+
--|player| collision = 0  | Actions...
  +-+----+----------------+
    +---------------------+
  +------+----------------+
--|player| collision != 0 | System  | Stop loop
  +-+----+----------------+
    +---------------------+

It breaks the physics sim if you change the size of a physics object. Use another non-physics object to cover the gap.
