[F8] How Can I Make A Game With Levels And A Game That Restarts?
I know this sounds stupid, but I just can't figure it out. I need to make a platform game. I'm fine with making a points system and a scrolling background and it functions but I don't know how to get the player to touch an object, or reach a goal and then transport to another level...I don't want to make the user have to click something to go to a new level.
Also, when the character hits an enemy, I can make it die, but I don't know how to make a button or something appear saying 'Game Over - Try again', so they can pretty much restart the level.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Regards,
Andrea

Help Me Make A Game.
Hey could anyone who's interested in non profit work for making a game in c++ can you please give an e-mail. The game will be a skatepark maker that you'll be able to skateboard in. But the main goal will be to get sponsorships and to compete in competitions to earn more money to make more things for your skate board park and other boarders will come and everything I got the graphics covered but I would still like someone to help me with them if possible. Programmers that no c++ please help this will be a great game and even may be published and we may earn money we will all get a fair share if the game does get published and does sell but only then and there pls help thx.

How To Make Game Using 100% OOP
Hi all
I was in the process of making a memory / concentration game when I came across an article about the use of OOP in Flash MX. I have programmed plenty of games before in Flash but never using this new methodology.
I have spent the last few days reading up on all the syntax etc and am about to attempt to write the game using 100% OOP. By this I mean everything is represented by classes as this is what I have read is strict OOP.
The thing I am not sure about is the overall structure of the classes etc. For those not familiar with the game it is basically a matching game where the player is faced with a grid of cards all face down. Clicking on a card reveals its face. The user must turn two cards over and if they match they then either are removed or simply remain on screen. If they do not match they turn back over again.
Can anyone suggest the breakdown of the game elements into classes etc. I can understand that elements such as the cards and timer should be separate classes but it is the overall control of the game that I am not sure about i.e should there be a class that is something like a game manager that monitors the game state and sends messages to all the game elements.
Any examples, related tutorials, etc would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

How Can I Make A Painting Game?
Hi, I´m making some games, actually one about painting lil´ movie clips. I was making it by dragging the colours to the zone I wanted to change, but I´ve been told to try to change the colors by clicking in the color box and then click in the zone you want to change the colour. Could anyone tell me what I should change in these scripts?
//Code on both pink boxes.Add more if statements
//for more possible colors it may change to.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.redbox)) {
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setRGB(0xFF0000);//Red
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.bluebox)) {
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setRGB(0x003399);//Blue
}
}
//On the coloured boxes the same code on red and blue.
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
startDrag ("");}}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag ();
}
Thank u.
How To Make Score In Game
I've so far been having fun making small not-mattering games, but it would be a bit more fun if I could get the score working... So far, i've been fooling around with getProperty, wich I've seen been used in another game, But I just can't seem to get it to work... Does anyone have any ideas of an easy way to make scores and countdown timers that execute an action when countdown is finished?
Please lend us a hand...
-Garbus
ps. This is the game.... It would be more fun with a score counter that works...

HELP -can I Make A Self-contained Game In Mx?
Hello,
I have created several simple games in flash mx. Each is a seperate animation in a course...catch the square, catch the circle, etc. once the child has clicked on the correct shape the button gets the next animation and so on. Basically they are several swf files that are (get url) linked to each other.
Here's the problem. They want the games to be "self contained" meaning they load, launch and can quit on their own. I designed them to replay the game at the end or return to the game page url. Well now there is no url.
Can I make the games quit on their own? Is there some sort of actionscript that terminates the animation/swf file? Is this possible, if so How???
Thanks, Lynn

I want to make a 2D platform game using flash but I have any action script skills to make one. Can someone teach me how to make a 2D platform.

Please Help Make Code 4 My Game, Please
hello, i need some big help with some action script codes.
My game is a warrior who you move by using the arrow keys, who can shoot a lightining bolt by pressing the space bar, if it hits the dragon, you get 10 points. after 70 hits, you win the game. The dragon moves across the background automatically and shoots its own fire ball at a time interval. Once this fireball hits you once you a transfered to a screen that tells you the game is over.
other information below, please read.
I need help in making a code that allows
my dragon to move across the screen , see dark red color above.
and when the dragon moves across the screen automatically, the fire ball fallows it until a certian time like 3 seconds and if it hits you, you are tranfered to a frame with game over text, frame 4, the fire ball keeps on firing at you always, and if it doesn't fir you, nothing happens. see lime color
*Everything is on its own layer
*dragon's instance name is dragon
*fireball's istance name is fireball
Thank you very much and it would be a joy to me if you can help me finish my game.

To Tough Of A Game For Me To Make
What I'm trying to do on limited knowledge, seems to be impossible to me but maybe it will be easy to do.
I'm trying to make a drag and drop game.
I have 3 places to drop an item.
I want to have 10 items to drag but want them randomlly selected from a group of 60.
I would like the game to keep score, right and wrong guesses.
Then when it is all done I would like to have the option to play again.
OK...
What kind of serious issues am I going to have to get through?
Thanks,

Help Trying To Make A Card Game In AS2
Hey guys, I have a problem that needs immediate help.
I have a card game in which the user selects 6 cards from a deck, and they go face down on the table. Then the user can click the cards in turn to flip them over, revealing one of 72 different card faces that I am loading through an XML file.
My problem is twofold. First off, each card needs to be unique. That means that the user should never encounter the same card twice in one draw. Currently it is possible to get the same card six times in a row. I know I need to use some sort of exclusion variable but I have no idea what the syntax should be, or where it should go in my script.
My second problem is probably easier, but I am rusty with Flash and I'm not sure how to solve it without breaking my code. Basically, a user can continually click one card, "flipping" the same card over and over to get a different card face. I only want them to be able to click a card once, and once its done, they have to move to the next one.
I have linked my code and XML code below. A lot of it is from help I have gotten from these boards and other sources in the past. I'm trying to finish this ASAP - Please help!
PHP Code:
stop();
var thisCard:MovieClip
var tooltip:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("tooltip","tooltip",10000);
tooltip._alpha = 0;
var imageFileName:Array = [];
var cardXML:XML = new XML();
cardXML.ignoreWhite = true;
cardXML.onLoad = loadImages;
cardXML.load("cardXML.xml");
function loadImages(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
totalImages = nodes.length;
for (i=0; i<totalImages; i++) {
imageFileName[i] =nodes[i].attributes.img;
}
trace(imageFileName);
//<--See if the array is populated
//Load finish.
//Now you can assign the release handler to the card MovieClip.
for (a=1;a<=6;a++){ // Assign the release handler to all (6) clips
var Clip=_root["card"+a] // Assume cards are in the _root (main) stage
// (otherwise you must give the right target path, eg: _root.Container["card"+a] -if inside a "Container" clip-)
Clip.invis.onRelease = releaseHandler;
}
}
}
function flipCard() {
var RandomImage=getRandomImage() // With the old code you would get 2 different random values..
trace("Load "+RandomImage+" to "+_root.thisCard.inner);
thisCard.inner.loadMovie(RandomImage);
}
//This function returns a random image filepath
function getRandomImage():String {
var ran = Math.round(Math.random()*(totalImages-1));
return imageFileName[ran];
}
function releaseHandler():Void {
thisCard = this._parent;
flipCard();
}
// Reset all cards (removes any loaded images from cards)
//(REQUIRES a button on stage named: "resetButton")
resetButton.onRelease=function(){ //Just in case you need it..
for (a=1;a<=6;a++){
var Clip=_root["card"+a] // Assume cards are in the _root (main) stage
unloadMovie(Clip.inner)
}

How Hard To Make This Game?
Hi,
I don’t have a lot of experience in flash and have only ever done basic things before.
I have someone asking to make a game along the lines of http://www.puffgames.com/pstrip/ - for those who are a bit more experienced is that a huge undertaking?
It doesn’t seem like it would be too hard, bit of collision detection and swapping a few images etc.
From anyone who uses flash, how hard would you say that game would be to build and roughly how long would it take?
