Ask a Question / Sharply pushing things away (for Angry Blosics)

« on: November 25, 2021, 09:18:58 pm »

I made a modification (read: duplicate) of Max Marin's "radial gravity"[1] behavior, so that instead of gently pulling* things towards the actor, it sharply pulls* things. The "sharp radial gravity" behavior is made for things like explosions.

The sharp behavior works as normal, although sometimes, with negative force values, it seems to be pulling things instead of pushing them!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

*: The behaviors will push things away if the "Force" attribute is set to a negative number.

Ask a Question / Angry Birds-esque "stars" system

« on: November 17, 2021, 01:23:19 pm »

For my Angry Blosics game, I want to know how to make a stars system that, if you beat the level with a certain amount of projectiles left, you gain stars and unlock the next level.
If you have 5 or more projectiles left, you get 3 stars; if you have 3 left, you get 2 stars; if you have 1 left, you get 1 star. The game will save the stars if you beat a level, and the stars will be shown on the button for the level you were last on.
By the way, "Level Button Behavior" and "stars behavior" are actor behaviors.

Ask a Question / Lagging in a level with lots of blocks (Angry Blosics)

« on: November 10, 2021, 01:57:20 pm »

Just got started porting Angry Blosics to Flash, and for some reason, when there are lots of blocks and/or enemies (there are 14) in a level (in this case, level 1-4), the game slows down to a screeching halt. How do I make the game faster while having all these objects on-screen at the same time?

Ask a Question / Special gems in match-3 game

« on: June 24, 2021, 02:21:57 pm »

How do I add special gems into this match-3 game?

For example:
4 gems in a row: A fire gem that, if matched, explodes in a 3x3 radius;
5 gems in a row: A "hyper-cube" or "colour bomb" that, if swapped with any gem, will destroy all gems of that colour;
5 gems in "L" or "T" shape: A lightning gem that, if matched, will destroy every gem along its X and Y axes;
Randomly spawns in when new gems fall onto the board: A bomb gem that counts down every move, and, if the counter reaches 0, ends the game.

Another random thing: Levelling up when the player reaches a certain amount of points.
