Ideas for maps

[Aino]

OK, I just want to make a topic about it, dunno if there already is one...

But everyone can visit here and post their imagination, maybe I will make the maps(or maybe some of the other map makers?) So you might get what you desire

So reply your map ideas

[annikk.exe]

Pong, Space Invaders, etc..

Totally possible.  :>

The map I was having a shot at, with each player on a separate planetary system, is effectively abandoned now. It was far too much to fiddle about with as a total novice and I wouldn't be able to do it justice with the mechanics even if I did finish laying everything out.

[Aino]

pong sounds interesting to work on, might start in it soon...

Is there any function/code for tracking mouse movement?

Like GetMousePosX or GetMousePosY?

[annikk.exe]

Nope, but there's OnMouseLeftDown(x,y).  So you could make it that the slider only moves when you're holding down the left or right mouse button.

Just keep a camera position command inside your While GameRunning() loop to prevent the camera from actually moving.  :>

Have a look at my rallypoint v2.X file, that has a drag thing in it. Cannibalise all you want, that's why I release stuff. Just credit me if you use it please?

[Aino]

It's just to use the y part of everything And the drawing stuff too, but I am busy with game developement for C Sharp(C#)...

shame... sorry to hear that dude.
im taking a long ass time with my level unfortunately, but if youve abandoned your idea of that general layout then maybe i can work on my take on it.

a long way off though...

hope all's well with everyone's efforts.

By all means, I'd love to see what someone could make of it. I'm just too much of a perfectionist to've been satisfied with the very crude version that was taking shape.

I'm also too much of a perfectionist, shame :/ I hate it, cause I can't finish my proj., but sometimes I just force myself to look at it as beatiful and finished
Maybe I can set foot on the project soon, C# was too easy to learn, and I have all the programming experience already

I'll start making pong, with an asteroid as the ball

[Aino]

Ok, so now as I started making pong(It's really looking good allready(but no roid ball :/)) I need to know how to bouce stuff, I know the angle will become the angle it entered plus itself, or you get the point? If not:

So... How do I do that with coordinates(I know annikk have done it, but I don't want to dig into his code to find the answer. And for good reason, the code is too advanced on first look xD)

[Aino]

Uhhm, solved it xD

Code: [Select]

if BallX+(Scale*Scale) >= MapEndX then
BallVX = 0-BallVX
elseif BallX-(Scale*Scale) <= MapStartX then
BallVX = math.abs(BallVX)
end
if BallY+(Scale*Scale) >= MapEndY then
BallVY = 0-BallVY
elseif BallY-(Scale*Scale) <= MapStartY then
BallVY = math.abs(BallVY)
end
Might help some other peps

LONG TIME dont know  if its already been thought of: a level thats huge where you would have a certan number of asteroids in 1 area and to move long distances you ues a asteroid with super range to another well its kinda like this: but now that i think about it ...they all gota be behind darn
