ah thanks thats brilliant !!!i think i over complicated things , i had a different animation for every direction..

Things have slowed down a bit due to my pc breaking but post me some examples of your stuff, In particular were looking for some very space age futuristic chip tune style stuff... here the most recent build of the game

to inspire you, we have music from 3 people on here at the moment :) which is good

Hi ive recently managed to blow my dual core 3.2 gig, 4 gig ram pc up and im now on an old 600mhz imac g3, 513 mb.

Its all so alien to me and of course i cannot spend the hours and hours i have been putting into my beloved contruct 2 :(

can anyone suggest anything similar and as "visual" as contruct, that would run on this beautiful p.o.s. that im on :P

currently ive decided to crack open an amstrad cpc emulator and learn some basic while i wait..so this will all work out cool in the end, and ill have alot stronger understanding of variables and arrays ect.

also, any games that would work on here..deus ex kind of era, i cant find a thing...its like this thing just fell from space.

btw i love stuff like systemshock 1/2

planescape: torment, fallout, age of empires....

Hi im Dylan im 33, i live in Wales,uk .

I was inspired to learn how to make games after seeing a video of the creator of jet set willy, and how insane it made him and the homecomputer programmers of the 80s.:P

Im Learning alot here, i never realy thought i could make games without a degree in maths, so im naturally very excited :)

Im also very much into Christian theology, and just "life in Christ" in general, which has blown my mind and ive been writing music for year, inspired by all kind of music, especialy some of the games ive played such as planescape torment and fallout1/2.

great to be here :)

im inspired and hope i can inspire some day soon !!

im also currently trying to learn some amstrad cpc basic which im finding alot easier since ive been exposed to contruct 2 tbh :)

thanks, i cant test it at the moment as my pc has blown up and im on a imac g3 :(

thanks for the time..hopefully i can get another pc to learn from it :) lol

i press space to shoot, so do i have to put that command 4 times with the angles? could you do a quick example?

Right, this is driving me insane and i know it has been asked to death, and ive read the lot.

But i still dont get it ... i have a overhead shooter with 4 directions of movement..(thunderforce 2 inspired)

how do i fire in the direction im facing ? surely it cant be as complicated as some examples..arrgh just when you think your working stuff out :P

i agree about the Book, but no believers people wont touch that with a barge pole...so im trying to present the book (to them, with no entry level requirements such as the Holy Spirit) for what else it "really is" The very highest Greek and Hebrew parallelism, poetry, allegorical/ metaphysical, sounds a bit more spaced out :P

i believe we have a pretty unique take on Jonah, using a social networking website called "O.R./C.A." (GET IT ) as the whale(Fish) that consumes you and eventually you end up saving the world :P ...its crazy, but man, what an exciting challenge... i wrote this intro story today in our Churchs food bank ..

very exicted about this, got 3 of us working on it (the the people who have been helping me on this forum :D so so so so grateful :)) now and thinking of paying some homebrew types in russia(alot)to try and make a sega megadrive version

ok this should work

dl.dropbox.com/u/84483952/try%20this%20one%20game%20demo.capx

thanks again :) just need to game to remember how many of "the glitched" have been captured. Youl see :p

thanks again, that is great, i did work out a rather cruder way of doing it ... but great to see it so simple in a few lines, awesome seems to all be about the *

i have another big problem ... in a new game mechanic you have to collect things (office workers !?)...but after you go into the random events (speedruns) the things you have collected reappear :P even though i have set them to destroy upon collection heres a capx...

oh space is now the button to get out the run sections

appriciate all the help , learning from all this

ok, this has come one hell of a long way

there are now 2 of us working on this, myself and a graphic designer..

i want to thank everyone whos helped me special thanks to Kyatric, kittywan and nimtrix

controls are cursor keys but you can use space if you want to escape a "speedrun"

if you complete speedruns you lvl up and the glitches that cause the runs are less frequent(every 5 lvls)..

the aim of the game is to meet a girl you got a date with , unfortunately you get caught up in the prototype testing of some new mind control program

ENJOY

(kind of screws up at the end so just refresh browser oops)

ok sprite 1 (for example) spawns at a certain rate ....but when you touch sprite 2 you "level up" and that changes the rate at which sprite 1 one spawns (slower rate ).... how could i do this ...?
