How to make a puzzle game?

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to StencylWorks. It comes to my attention that all samples are for action games. Anyone has any ideas of creating a typical puzzle game using StencylWorks? I mean just like Drawn The Painted Tower, or any other room escape games. The player doesn't need to control any avatar. All s/he needs to do are just to 1) click on the screen to collect objects and 2) drag and drog to put the objects somewhere in the scene. Finally, the way out will be shown if the player get all objects placed correctly.

Does StencylWorks works for such a game?

You can create any kind of game with Stencyl.

For your type of game, the objects to find would be actors and the places to drop them would be regions. Each object would have to have a behavior attached to allow it to be dragged by the mouse, and each scene would check for these objects in the appropriate regions before advancing to the next.

It is a fairly simple game mechanic, but I don't know if there are many pre-made behaviors which would work for you. You may need to end up creating some of your own, which isn't too difficult once you get some practice.

Thank you so much for your timely reply! I will play with actors and regions see if I work it out. I may end up with more silly questions later and hope you don't mind me keeping bothering you! Of course, I will try not to. :-)

Thanks again!

Hey, buddy,

Are there any sample puzzle games available? I'm not a tech guy. It's kind of struggling for me to figure out how to create those behaviors. It would be great if there is a sample so I could learn faster. Any ideas if it's possible?

Thank you.

Puzzle games can be made but, honestly, I have seen only a couple of them so far. It seems there isn't a lot of interest about them, so specific resources are clearly missing.

Recently, applaud completed a a puzzle game for iOS. Perhaps he's kind enough to share some knowledge with you.
