games in flash (newby)

[pantas]

Hi there flash pros :D

is it possible to create basic games in flash?
such as:

Sliders (http://www.mccollam.com/fun/sliders/sliders.html)

and memory games? (have no link, but are the ones where we try to find a match between the turned images...if not, they will turn down and well have to turn another..?)

any tutorial would be greate!would really apreciate it!
thanks in advance for the patience!

[pantas]

nathan99 this is really usefull!
too bad there is no slider game too :S
just one thing...by letting other people download your files, you should at least leave some tips in the AS :p hehehe just kidding!
thanks for the file! ill check it out now, try to find out how this works :D

[pantas]

by the way..... loved the gta game :D

[nathan99]

i am gonna make that slider game cuz i love those things, even tho i am complety pro at them, i have no idea where to start, but it will be the best slider game ever.

thx for the challnge

[pantas]

no h080j03, i thank you!

Here, I made this a while ago. You might be able to learn from it.

The code is in the _Game MovieClip in the library, frame one of the Actions layer. I didn't comment it, so ask questions if you need some explanation.

[pantas]

thats it Smee!
can you pleasepaste the .fla please ?

[Smee]

Woops! I thought I had attached the fla. It was slightly too large with the image in it to put up here and I didn't notice that it didn't go through. I'm attaching the picture and the fla seperately, so you can just download the fla and the picture and put the picture in the "Hellfire MC" MovieClip in the library, with the reference point in the top left corner of the picture. You could also just use your own picture, of course.

Just make a MovieClip with the picture in it and give it some linkage, and then change the PictureToUse = "Hellfire" to whatever your linkage is, the rest is done automaticly.

[pantas]

thanks!!

[pantas]

first of all, thank you Smee!:evil2:
just one thing...i got lost in your load movie functions. can you help me to try and clean a bit the of the AS?

All y need to try to figure out is the "main game" AS, leaving the options menu out. the problem is that if i try to make it go directlly to the game, without the options menu it will not export the game itself.

can you help me out? the 9squares game is greate. do not need to change anything, just make it load the pictures with the right AS...:hangover:

thanks in advance!

[Smee]

The options screen is where two pieces of information are created, the GridSize object and the NumberOfMoves number. If you want to leave out the options, then you'll need to create those variables elsewhere.

So, in the Game MovieClip, you'll need to modify


GridSize = Info.GridSize;

to be the actual object, something like


GridSize = {x: 10, y: 10};

Same thing for the NumberOfMoves variable, somewhere (just under the GridSize object should be fine) you should define the number of moves:


NumberOfMoves = 10;

Then, scroll down to


ScrambleTiles(Info.NumberOfMoves);

and take out the "Info." part of it. I hope that works.

[pantas]

when we finish the game, can i make anything happen?

[pantas]

something like game over ?

thanks

Hi all. I finally have time to play around with this game.

First let me say that slider games are my favorite puzzle games and Smee's AS code is really cool! :thumb:

Smee I have noticed that when I set ( SnapDistance = 100; ) it will only allow tiles to move x positive and y negative. Is there a way to fix this?

There is also another problem when snap is set to 100, if I click or drag some of the tiles that are not bordering the empty tile they snap behind other tiles thus creating many empty tiles.

Pantas did you ever figure out how to do a game over, you win, puzzle solved or next level?

Can anyone help? :q: :q: :q:
