Resolved Questions / How to export tilesets easily? [RESOLVED]

« on: January 23, 2013, 12:21:59 pm »

Me and my friend are making a game on separate computers. I have a Windows computer and he has a Mac. Our problem right now is how to find a way to easily export the tilesets my friend made from his computer to mine. Is there an easier way other than saving each file individually with Pencyl? P.S. My friend is not very computer-literate, so if the instructions are too complicated, he might get lost. Simple instructions, please, and thanks in advance!

Game Art / Looking for a free and EASY music maker. Suggestions? [RESOLVED]

« on: January 22, 2013, 01:20:22 pm »

I have tried and failed to find a very nice music maker.
I tried MAGIX, but I got lost in its interface.
I also tried online music makers, but those suck.
The closest one I ever got to liking was PXTone, because I liked how you can import any sound and play it at any pitch like a sampler, but the pitch and note making interface wasn't good.
Is there any music maker out there that contains the following?
-sampler function (like PXTone)
-ability to record a song by playing notes from keyboard
-free and simple interface
Thanks!

I am trying to make a game that runs on both computer and iOS, but when I import frames for an actor, there's a little message on the bottom that says:
Import an image at 2x resolution (for Retina Display.)
What does this mean? I don't want to get this wrong. Thanks.

Resolved Questions / Advice for my first game? [RESOLVED]

« on: January 18, 2013, 06:20:55 pm »

Me and my friend are ready to make some games, but I want to get the hang of the coding interface first by making my own simple shooter. However, I want to add something creative to it to challenge my amateur-ability to code. Can anyone challenge me with some crazy idea that is NOT already available as a behavior on StencylForge? I'm feeling confident.

Resolved Questions / How do I make a lazy camera effect? (wut) [RESOLVED]

So if you look at this video here and skip to the 1:00 mark:

you will see a game called cave story. notice the camera. it seems to be slippery when focusing on the player. (ex: when the character stops moving, the camera moves a little bit before stopping too) sometimes, the camera is a little slow when it tries to keep up with focusing on the character. how do I generate this "lazy" camera effect? because for all I know...
