Game Ideas / Boing Ball: A Game I am Working On

« on: November 15, 2011, 06:58:21 pm »

I am somewhat new, so I would like to say hello.

I am MVsProjects, and I am an adolescent game creator. Right now, I am working on a game called Boing Ball. It is a side-scrolling, physics game. It involves you controlling a paddle, and you have to get a bouncing ball to a goal. The catch? There are many obstacles in your way, plus your paddle is rounded on the edges. You cannot let the ball out of the screen or you have to start the current level over.

Controls:
Arrow keys (left and right) to control the paddle
Mouse to select objects

Enemies/Obstacles: (As of 11/16/11)
Spike, in the form of a mine
Springs
Lock and Key

Things to Consider:
Time Limit- 60 seconds?
Scoring?
Control Change from Keyboard to Mouse?

I have finished testing the mechanism of the game, which runs smoothly. I do plan to release a demo, with 15 levels. The full version will have thirty levels, including five hidden bonus levels. I will inform you my progress weekly.

So far:
Working on Level Select and Levels

Game Ideas / Re: What games have you completed in the past?

I had made one game, that required PowerPoint to operate it. It was called PowerPoint Platform, and all it was was a mouse maze sort of game. It had 40 levels, a not-so-good boss chase, and a three-phase boss. There were a few minor bugs, like missing hyperlinks, but it was ok for an unprofessional. It recieved some positive feedback, such as that the boss phases were hard.

Ask a Question / Making random actors appear gradually faster?

« on: August 16, 2011, 11:31:17 am »

How do I make random actors, in this case platforms, appear, in a row, at a time, and then destroy the original row, so that a new row would rise up, again random, gradually faster? Thanks!

Resolved Questions / [SOLVED] Actor stops moving off screen?

« on: August 03, 2011, 12:27:43 pm »

How do I make an enemy keep moving even when it is off screen? I have tried a few different ways and when the camera moves away from the enemy and comes back, it stops.

What I have so far...

Resolved Questions / Disable Keys after the player dies? [SOLVED]

« on: July 30, 2011, 10:16:37 am »

I am creating a game which tells the players that if you collide with any enemy that can hurt you, your character explodes and you die. But I found that while the exploding animation is playing, you can still move with the arrow keys, then after .9 seconds, you finally die. How can I prevent the players from using the keys while the explosion animation is playing?

This is what I have so far...

Old Bugs (1.x/2.x) / Actors won't load

« on: July 28, 2011, 04:16:29 pm »

Recently, I was creating a new game, I have two actors so far, but for some reason, when I double click on one of them, it won't display the info about it. The other actor is working just fine. If anyone knows why this is occuring, I will be happy to know.

Ask a Question / Re: Changing the controls randomly?

Yes, as long as they are random.
I only need them to not move and to appear once they are about to encounter to a obstacle.

Ask a Question / Changing the controls randomly?

I was wondering if anyone can help me to make it so that any random alphabetic actor appears and you have to press that button to be able to cause your player to jump or other action. I will be happy to get a response.
