Paid Work / I will pay for help making a relatively simple game.
« on: April 14, 2021, 02:56:37 pm »
Hi everyone,

I want to make a game for android but I have a medical condition that causes blurred vision and it's been difficult for me to sit at the PC for hours trying to focus.

The general idea of the game:
Android
Pretty simple touch, click and collect.
5 scenes but they are pretty much identical - just different assets.
I need help with the code being put together and persistence between scenes.

If interested, please send me a direct message for more info and what you would expect for compensation.

Thanks

Ask a Question / Scene keeps starting from the beginning.
« on: April 13, 2021, 10:28:20 pm »
Hi everyone,

My first scene (scene 1) has welcome and tutorial text and spawning actors. If I transition to scene 2 and then return to scene 1, the actors are no longer present (which I understand that I need to create attributes for but the welcome text that is displayed at the very beginning of the game plays again. Do attributes need to be created to make those events happen only once as well?

Thanks

Thank you Luyren.

Would you be able to show a block example if that's not too much trouble?

I want to have actors that populate a scene that the player has "collected". But when I switch scenes and return, those actors are gone and the scene basically reloads. Is there a way to keep the actors that the player has "collected" remain on the screen when switching scenes? I read somewhere that it can only be done with attributes?

That's what I figured but wanted to verify. Thank you Luyren!

Hi Stenclyers,

I am creating currency for my game (i.e, coins to collect).

My question is if I set the attributes to increment when a coin is collected, and add a block for saving the game, is there anything more that is needed to make sure that the player's currency will remain collected and reflected accurately when playing, quitting and playing the game again?

Thanks,

Ask a Question / Actor falling off screen
« on: April 03, 2021, 08:38:17 pm »
Does anyone know why an actor would be falling off the screen and out of the scene after it has been created? I created 100 actors in my game and none of them have this problem. I created this last actor in the same manner as I created all of the rest but it keeps falling down off of the scene/screen. I don't know why?

Hello everyone,

I digested the information regarding the timers.

I have an additional question regarding timers.

I want to draw a timer on the screen that counts down the time to when an actor is appearing. This will occur with different actors and each actor will have a different time. Should I approach that problem by creating different timer actors or is there a way that a scene event can be applied to all of them with changing times? I don't seem to see a path forward by creating a scene timer.

Thank you Merrrak. I'll take a look tomorrow when my vision is feeling better.

Is there a tutorial anywhere that explains how to do the following ...

Draw text that states: "Next train coming in 3 minutes" with the "minutes" being drawn in numbers?

Please forgive me for the questions; I have a medical condition that causes blurred vision throughout the day and it makes it hard for me to scan the internet looking for solutions to read.  But I haven't found a tutorial specific to this case.

Thank you

Creating duplicates isn't too hard, just a little time consuming. That works  :)

Is there an easy way to create a group of actors (aside from duplicating) who share the same behaviors, etc?
