ActionScript 3.0 :: Simple Maze Game (Pac Man Style)
Jan 29, 2010
I want to create a really basic pac man style maze game, its actually for some marketing materials and it will be really used as means of navigation rather than as a game, I want pac mac to eat certain words and when that happens it will tell the user about that topic. What the best way for pac man to work his way around the maze would be? Would I be best using hit detection? Also what would be the best way to remove the pellets as he eats them? visibility or remove child?
I've just finished making a maze game similar to the "Scary Maze Game" and would like to add lazers around the maze to make it harder to get through.
So basically when youre mouse cursor hits the lazer you lose, id like the lazers to either swing side to side or just appear every X amount of seconds.
I am creating a Simple Flash Maze Game,and i have 2 'Movie Clips' that i want to react when the collide.IE. When 'CHAR_LVL1' (A Movie Clip, controlled with the Arrow Keys) comes into contact with 'WALL_LVL1'. I want it to 'gotoAndStop(27);'[code].I am using Flash CS5 and Action Script 2.0
I am developing a flash maze game and I have a problem with changing direction of my movie clip. I can move around my maze and I have a hit test sorted. But what I want is when a player presses a keyboard button, the first animation of the MC rotating will be played, then when the play head hits stop the MC will stay in this same position (pos from last frame) until another key for example up is pressed.
I can't find the line in the Adobe samples for a maze game where the actual .as code is included into the project. This is fundamental, since my own implementation is just using include "file name";, which isn't working. I also can't use import, since I then can't access the elements placed on the stage.? The files are available here http:[url]....
I tried to debug the code, but I can't even find the point where the constructor is called. The execution starts at "stop()" in frame 1 and then if you step into it, calls the enter frame event handler.
I am going to develop a very simple game for android and for iphone/ipad I have the option to develop it in cocos2d or in adobe flash air (i am not a developer, but i have 2 developers who are offering me the service)I have a developer that states that cocos2d is better and other one that states that adobe flash air.I want it in cross platform.the cost offered by both developers is the same..i have heard that adobe air has the flaw that it is very slow, is this real? if you had the 2 options which will you use to develop your game and why?
I'm creating a game at the moment for my university course and it involves the player character jumping on top of boxs twice to break them as opposed to just once.What would be the most efficient/simple way of writing this in Actionscript 3.
I am aiming to create a looping array of images so that each fades in and fades out again ... here is the code i have so far ... it works EXCEPT ... it stops at the end of the array and appears to jump or hop a little between images ... want it to be smoother.
Code:
var aImages:Array = new Array("flashcontent.png", "flashcontent2.png", "flashcontent3.png");[/quote][quote] var imageFolder = "../images/"; var fadeRate:Number = 1;[code]....
I am at uni and have a project to create an interactive game for the story Johnny Mnemonic. I would like to create a game whereby the player has a whip type weapon, there is an opponent jumping up and down and with the whip you attack them and cut off limbs -
I'm thinking it would be like a simple shooting ducks style game in terms of coding, the player has visible just a hand with the whip in it, you move the whip to your desired location click chosen button to hit, the whip then animates a flick, if it hits correct spot on bouncing opponent then an animation of the limb flying off happens, so the bouncing opponent is like the duck and the whip like the gun - if that is right at all?
Ok I am creating a 2d game similar to the original mega mans and mario for nintendo. The character moves back and forth using the left and right arrow keys on the screen and has a walk animation and all. The next step is to get him to shoot his laser gun. I want this to be done using the space bar key. What I have right now is identical to Kirupa's movement using X and Y values tutorial but it only moves one direction of course. How can I make it so that it will continue to move automatically after pressing space instead of having to hit the space bar each time I want it to move 10 units over etc.?
Creating a pacman-style game using Flash (AS3). There are 3 players competing to eat the most dots. Right now when one player eats a dot, on that player's screen the dot goes away (but only for a second) and appears again in the screen. The other player playing, doesn't see that the dot went away and reappeared.Using hitTestObject, when a player touches a dot, the dot should no longer be seen on the stage. I'm using shared object to create this multi-player game environment. I'm new in using SharedObject and also AS3.
public function PlayerSelect() { nc = new NetConnection();[code]....
I'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.
I'm looking to build a very simple (hopefully!) interactive game.
- A number of balls are situated at the bottom of the stage.
- There are several dropzones which the balls can be placed in.
-Once a dropzone is occupied with a ball, its not possible to populate that the dropzone with another ball until the present one has been removed. -Depending on which balls are present in the dropzones, the balls animate differently. the red ball is placed in a dropzone. There are currently no other dropzones populated with a ball.
I just want to create a simple timer for a car game which notes the lap time each time you cross the finish line. I then want to be able to use the "gotoAndPlay (frame number)" once either a certain amount of laps have been completed or when the timer hits a specified number.I have exhausted tutorials, none of which actually work - what im looking for is 'i think' actually quite simple but i am having great difficulty.... The car game tutorial with 4 parts which seems to pop up everywhere does not help as it is very complex and can only be used when the game is designed in the way that the guys has made it.
I am developing a Jeopardy-like game in Flash CS5. I am familiar with Flash CS5, but new to AS3. I don't know the language well, and to top it off my code hints don't work in Flash CS5. After researching this I've learned it is a bug that Adobe has yet to resolve. Anyway I am trying to program this game with very little knowledge about the language I am using. I've been watching tutorials and googling specific questions, but it comes down to the fact that I don't speak the language and don't have the resource (code hints) to make the language more available to me.What I am trying to do is simple:Imagine a Jeopardy game board.On the answer screen there is a button that takes you back to the gameboard. Here's the catch: the gameboard must remember which boxes have been chosen and not display those dollar values.
I understand how to program the buttons. I've been using gotoandstop for that. I am trying to figure out the best way to program this so the game remembers which boxes have already been chosen throughout the entire game.The specific question I have at the moment is how to reference an instance on another frame than the frame that has the code on it. For example: The gameboard is on frame 5. When the category A for $200 box (buttonA1) is clicked a Boolean var called 'chosen' is created and assigned the value of true. then the gotoandStop command moves the game to frame 10 which is where the question for category A for $200 lives. There is a button on frame 10 that takes you to the answer, which is on frame 11. And on frame 11, when you click on the button to take you back to the gameboard, I want it so that if chosen = true then buttonA1.visible = false. I get an error because buttonA1 doesn't exist on frame 11 - it lives on frame 5 and I have no idea how to reference it so that it will not be visible.
the game is a little flash component found here:[URL].. i found that link here[URL].. I have been using/converting the examples they give in the second link but cant get my "missile" to behave correctly. I am using java and andEngine combo. Here is what I have right now:
[Code]...
this code just makes the object travel to the upper right hand corner of the screen and it doesnt move after that. so i am missing something
my end goal is to have an object that will chase the users touch coordinates. I know how to have the object follow such coordinates but I dont want it to follow the exact path, but rather the shortest path to the most updated coordinates. so more like an intercept course
Make a simple Multiplayer game (Java server, AS3 client) and i was wondering, how would i get people to be able to select their clothing?
Im going to have the data stored in a database, but i want to know, how would i go about keeping a shirt/pants/shoes of each colour and merging them (For each character's combination) to create a new movieclip (username_figure for example)
I have tried to create a simple Hangman game, it works great, but I have two problems. Number one, the course I�m taking requires that there should be an if else statement in the actionscript programming (in an appropriate manner in connection with the user interaction) and I realy don�t know how to fix that. I�m tearing my hair. Number 2 Preferably I would like the program, alternating between several different words.
I'm following a tutorial to make a simple game. The aim of the game is for a player to evade a flying enemy ; the higher the score, the faster the enemy. The main elements in the game are the enemy the player and a score card.
However, from following the tutorial, and adding the dynamic text field etc....the score doesn't actually work.
This is the code that I was instructed to place on the first frame of the Scripts layer:
//Game Variables enemySpeed = 5; //Set Enemy initial speed numberEnemy = 4; //Change this to add more Enemies score = 0; //Set initial score to 0
I'm looking to do a very simple spot the difference game using flash CS3 and actionscript 2 for a school project.
I have 2 images on separate layers on a timeline in the same frame, which has been paused using the 'stop' command. I am looking to have around 4 differences that, when clicked, will be recorded at the bottom of the screen.
The problem is, I am unable to find a way to get the differences recorded at the bottom in the order the user finds them, where each one is entered when the user clicks it, leaving gaps for those that haven't been found.
Being only a basic user, I am only familiar with scenes and basic timeline controls, and i'm hoping there's a relatively simple way of achieving this. However I am perfectly comfortable with using more complex actionscript, having done some programming before.
I need to make or buy a template for a simple flash game for a clients website. It has to be legit to buy. It is about 5 pages long. You are asked a question, you select a radio button for the answer to the question, it compiles all your answers and gives you a result.I know flash pretty well but ccording to budget and time.it is best not to have to experiment.
I have created a simple card game in Ruby on Rails+ajax with jQuery for animation. It's working Ok, and I wanted to develop a multiplayer version. It looks like it's not so simple as i thought. I have also tryed to port the game completely to JS into the Canvas tag. This is possible for me and I could make the animation there much better however I still don't know how to add a multiplayer part in it.
How do i use the on(dragover), becuase i am making a simple randomness game,(to start off) because i have something that you can drag, and i want to make it if you drag the thing over it it takes you to a new keyframe.Here is the movie clip i want to be drug on: (nothing happens)
So Im working on a very simple drag and drop flash game using AS3. Everything is complete but I'm having an issue with the dynamic text. For some reason when you drop the item onto its target and accompanying dynamic text is all effed up.. for example when it should say "Try Again!" it says "r ain!".. I've been banging my head for the last few hours with no luck..And here is my code:
