Talk about making games.

A couple of questions!

Postby VYTIS_KNIGHT » Fri Jul 09, 2004 12:57 pm

1. Is there a way to build a game and have it load additional game-editor files? I want each Game editor file to be a seperate level. Is this possible?

2. How do I build a intro screen? Like the one for the shark hunting game, which I find to be a lot of fun.

3. Does anyone know of a great installer program for games made for the pocket pc?

Sure, you can creat one .ged file per level.
On export process, choose a executable file (Windows, Linux or PocketPC) for your main .ged

The others leves can be exported as "Game data only" (.dat files)

To load a .ged file, just use the LoadGame function:

LoadGame("Level1.ged");

After export, the LoadGame("Level1.ged") will load the Leve1.dat file

2. How do I build a intro screen? Like the one for the shark hunting game, which I find to be a lot of fun.


Put your intro screen in any place into Game Editor.
After intro (by time, by user clicking...) you have two choices:

a) Move your view actor to other location (where your game begin)
b) Use a LoadGame function to load other .ged file

3. Does anyone know of a great installer program for games made for the pocket pc?


You can try CuteInstall or EZSetup
