Barefoot Longjump

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

Was looking at some games from the Kirupa game contest and I found http://web.mit.edu/kirupa/www/Game%20Contest/35.htm
Barefoot Longjump it's called. I was wondering how I would go about making a game like this one. Maybe put some opposition into it aswell, ad some new events, running, swimming eg. Any help would be appreciated.

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

Any takers?

Well the creator was on the forums and miht still be, try and find out the creator and PM him, Have you any experience in creating games, because if not I think its a bit advanced for you.

[Joppe]

something like this? :to:

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

I have done some basic games following tutorials.

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

That's good joppe! But I agree with evil it's a bit advanced for me at the time being.

[Joppe]

Its not really advanced, just do an check for which button was pressed last (using variables) then if the button you just pressed wasnt pressed last time put speed up.

[evildrummer]

How long that take too make joppe? :huh:

[Joppe]

A half hour maybe.. maybe not that long, I was a bit bored you see.. '-_-

[TNTWolverine]

ya right...you know you worked on it like all yesterday joppe...quit tellin lies;)

[Joppe]

Hahaha :D

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

Lol, you make it sound so simple....

[Joppe]

It IS simple.

See, first you have the onEnterFrame

onEnterFrame = function(){}

Then the keypresses

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){}


then inside both of those have like
inside the left keypress

if(!l){speed+=1;l=true;r=false}
and in the right

if(!r){speed+=1;r=true;l=false}
and now you have created the movement.. NOT hard :)

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

lol..

yeeeh score 249, haha, nice game ;) (i mean joppe's version)

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

i noticed that 249 is the max score, anyone else notice that?

[Joppe]

No.. It isnt, the max score is around 800...

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

i tryed for a while and only got 249

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

hey thanks joppe but i figured out my own way

[Joppe]

And that code is simpler you say?

[nathan99]

Hmm... KIERIOSHIMOTO you first say that Joppe's code was advanced.. you rip out a code like that.. maybe you should explain what's going on for the beginners?

var friction:Number = .9;
//make the friction variable.. makes the jumper slide to stop
var additon:Number = 5;
//how much to add to speed when a key is clicked
var totalScore:Number = 0;
//set the start score for the totail game to 0
var startTrackX:Number = track._x;
//where the rtack starts
var KeyU:Object = {};
//thje object to hold the key down event
Key.addListener(KeyU);
//add the listener tto the keyboard
finBut.onRelease = setUp;
//when they press the finished button for retry restart the game

// l = whatever its not

//jump
};
jumper.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y = jumping ? this._y+jump++ : track._y;
//if theyre jumping move on the jumpo otherwise move to the path
this._y>=track._y ? jumping=false : null;
//if theyre lower than the track move to the rtacks Y
track._x -= speed *= friction;
//move the track
if (this._x>track._x) {
//past the jump line ?
if (this._y>=track._y) {
///not jumping?
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//remove the onEnterGFrame event
totalScore += NS=NS == 0 ? 0 : NS;
//set the new scre
Message = NS == 0 ? "FOULED\n"+(totalScore) : "Score: "+NS+"\n"+totalScore;
//Show the mfinsihed message. Win or lose
finBut._visible = true;
//show the finsihed button
} else {
NS = (this._x-track._x)*5;
//add to the total score
}
KeyU.onKeyDown = null;
//disable keydowns
}
};
}
setUp();
//start the game
