Ask a Question / HTML5 Newgrounds/Kongregate API

« on: February 29, 2020, 09:39:48 am »

I've used the Newgrounds API on flash projects to add medals and leaderboards.... but now flash is dead, slow, and I want to make an HTML5 game that has these features. But they are exclusively on flash, even though Newgrounds has developed the API for HTML5.
So... how do I implement the features? I tried delving into the .js file generated by Stencyl… but it didn´t work

Ask a Question / Is there a way to change a variable over time with your mobile device off?

« on: October 13, 2018, 11:03:25 am »

Im working on a mobile game(will be getting studio for this) and wanted to know if making a variable change over time while your device is turned off.

What Im trying to get out of this is a sort of timer, like the ones in Clash of Clans and every other mobile game that requires you to wait for an hour or so.

I can certainly make  a timer, but if the device is turned on the timer will stop. How can I do this? Is it possible?

Ask a Question / Spelunky-like level generation

« on: January 12, 2018, 12:57:00 pm »

I want a level generator that isnt completely random, like spelunky. What I mean with this is that each "fragment" of a level has been previously made. So I make 20 fragments, and then with the generator, I make a few random come together to make the level. Is this possible?

Ask a Question / How can I change Stencyl's screen proportions?

« on: December 28, 2017, 02:27:24 pm »

Hi all! I dont really know how to say it XD. Look at the image.  The right half with the tiles and actors cant be reduced to a smaller size, so it takes up like half the screen. Im using the ThinkPad's docking station, but how can I fix it in stencyl?
I don't wanna mess too much with the options, so could somebody help?

Ask a Question / What's the equivalent of "if 'Item' in list: "

« on: December 10, 2017, 08:31:57 am »

I have a list. In the game, every time the player collects an object, that objects name is added to  a list. When the scene is refresh, if the object's name is in the list, i want to kill it.

Python's equivalent of what im trying to ask for would be:

if "Item name" in list:
           blah blah

Ask a Question / Are there any "Piskel-like" tools for making sound online?

« on: December 08, 2017, 04:10:39 am »

Lately, I stumbled on this internet tool called Piskel. It was very useful for me because I tend to work on various computers, so having an online tool like that where I can work, save and load my stuff was super helpful. I'd like to know if there is a similar tool that lets me make music. Thanks!

Ask a Question / How do I permanently kill an actor??

« on: November 20, 2017, 01:02:06 pm »

I have a platform game.  In each level, there are keys, which work like the moons in Mario Odyssey. When a player collects one of these keys, the key "dies". When the player restarts the level(via level select or the players death), I want the collected key to be gone. How do I do this?
