n00b needs some help

[duracel92]

[Hi all, im new to his game building scene and I need some tips already...

I'm building a game as you do...

its one of those games where the screen moves up and you have to dodge things,


1) how do you get rocks, etc. to randomly appear at the top of the view.
I no this.. thnxs to tek, it didnt work very well tho...

2) how to make a score that goes up as the further north you travel

3) Ive hit another dilema, I want to destroy the actor, but to get him back I have to restart the game? How do you create lives?

4) How the errm... do you make a title screen this one is really getting to me????

5) I like walls... cept im not sure how to make them impassible? my guess is Physical response... but that didnt work either...

6) is it possible to make the actor move to a activation region, search for a file, and if it is there load it, and if not load a seperate file...

im sorta embarrased because I have never asked that many questions before

Anyway, all help is appreciated thanks!

Me too, I'm a beginnier, but I try to answer in some of your questions.

If you want that the rocks are falling randomly you can write this to rocks draw actor

y = view.height/2 - rand(3*height);
x = rand(view.width)-view.width/2;

then if you want that the rocks falling speed is random, write for example this

yvelocity = rand(1*10);

if you want rocks falling speed to bee allways the same, write only

yvelocity = 10;

Make background's and score's parent 'view'.

You can use the PauseGameOn() and PauseGameOff() functions.

Tyvm to everyone who helped...

When i use these codes

y = view.height/2 - rand(3*height);
x = rand(view.width)-view.width/2;

yvelocity = rand(1*10);

yvelocity = 10;

The rocks just dissappear then re-appear in a diffrent space around the origonal... how can this be fixed?
