Two little demos for Newbies and Advance peoples

Postby Game A Gogo » Sun May 14, 2006 12:59 am

Here are some demos, i would apreciate comments on them, and makslane, it would also be great if you put then two on the demo page! 8)

http://www.freewebs.com/electrod-gs/Oth ... 20Game.rar
http://www.freewebs.com/electrod-gs/Others/Pool.rar

The firts one is a simple Cross platform game, but there is also a bonus in that one, ive figure out how to make it that this animation is not all screwed up when you press left and right.

And the second one is a simple Pool game (Not reilly a pool, it only has 4 balls) and i like it how it turn out when you have to click to shoot the white ball.

Enjoy

I am gonna check it out tonight, i am still trying to figure out how i can make a good working platform game with GE.
I am not very skilled when it comes to programming, i am more in to the artwork though. Let's see if this can help me out!

Thanks in advance!

Something useful for platform games - making it so th longer you hold the key, the higher you jump. Basically, you need two variables: 'inair' to test whether you are in a position to be able to jump, and 'jumping', to test if you are actually jumping. On your keydown, say
Code: Select all
if (inair == 0)
{
    jumping = 1;
    //create a timer about 500 ms
    //any other script when you jump
}

On the event for keyup and the timer, set jumping to 0.
In your draw actor, where the gravity is,
Code: Select all
if (jumping)
{
    yvelocity = jvel;//where jvel is the velocity for jumping
}
else if (yvelocity < maxgrv)//where maxgrav is the highest gravity velocity
{
    yvelocity += gravstr;//where gravstr is the gravity speed
}

Now, if you hold down the key, you should jump higher than if you didn't.

I'll look for a freeware. I'm using Lotus ScreenCam but it's not free.

Platform Game

Postby CatT » Wed Jun 07, 2006 12:51 am

I just downloaded and tried your platform game and I hate to use the word "cute" because it sounds so unprofessional -- but it is very cute! As well as professional! And it looks like it may help me answer some questions I had about making an actor move in a certain way. Thank you very much for the demo. PLEASE SHARE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED!

I actually prefer winrar to winzip. I use both. It has a very easy interface and zipping (or winraring) is a breeze. I think more Europeans use Winrar than us USAites but it's a pity because it's a lovely tool.

I know I can use the left and right keys and up and down keys---any others? I got into the fruit area but was wondering how you get into that area that's right on top of you as you start out. : ) I am really bouncing around in here! : ) I have to analyze the programming to see how it will help me but right now I'm just having fun!

OK. I'm stuck in the fruit place. I have a feeling I should be able to push the bouncer over so I can get the two pieces of fruit up above knocked off but I can't figure out how to do it. I know I moved a bouncer (the x thing that bounces you) before but I'm stuck.

I think the background pebbles could be just a little more varied in the graphics but it's OK the way it is. It makes you concentrate on the movement. But on replaying, some variety in the background graphics would be nice. That's not a criticism--it's just meant to be helpful and it's only my personal taste. I'm basically having a good time and smiling a great deal other than the fact that right now I'm stuck.

I just went back and moved the X thinger that bounces you so I finished. It was too short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
