where to get classes to putting together a board game, free of course.I do not want to use them actually but get the idea of how mine would incorporate into the classes.I have a board game where I want each square on the board to know if it is occupied or not, to change its color, and to keep track of what is actually happening with it.
View 2 RepliesI need to create a score board for a game show at work for staff. The score board must keep score on the left and right parts of the screen. score must start as default on 0. Then every time I press for example the left arrow key the left score must increase by the value of 1 and when I press the right arrow key the left score must decrease by 1.Same goes for the right score only with differant keys example up and down keys. This sounds very simple and I managed to get it to work when I tested with only 1 score, but failed when adding the second score to the picture.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a turn base board game. It has four player and out the the four players one is human and the rest are cpu's. The players are number 1,2..4. In the beginning of the game it ask's the user to which player will be the human player. A random number generator function picks a random number between 1-4 and that number player will go first.
There is a while loop that controls the game play something like:
var isNotEndofGame:Boolean = true;
var human:Number; //the user inputs this number.
var aPlayer:Number = getRandomNumber(1,4); //players: 1, 2, 3, 4
while(isNotEndofGame) {
if(aPlayer==human) doHumanMove();
else doCpuMove();
This reset's the player so they can keep on playing until game ends.
if(aPlayer==4) aPlayer = 1;
}
inside function doCpuMove() and doHumanMove() isNotEndofGame will become false when the game objective is met.
The problem I am having is when its the human players turn I want the loop to pause or wait so that the human player can do some interaction such as click a button or drag a movieClip. I tried adding adding mouseclick event listeners and timer neither worked.
I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million different ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So I decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game. [URL]
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When I finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board I am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and I have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
I am creating a blackjack game and almost have it all figured out besides the scoreboard. When I win the game it adds the 25 points and when I loose it subtracts the 25 points from the starting score = 200. The problem is that if you win multiple times in a row or lose multiple times in a row the score doesn't keep adding up. It only adds or subtracts the score once. I tried using a boolean code but can't get it to work right. Now I am using this set up.

View 7 RepliesI am developing a web based multi-player board game and wondering what the best language for the UI would be? Its a board game similar to Go but a lot simpler.I have two options flash or the much touted HTML5 with JS. I have to learn both though I have basic knowledge of JS.The problem with flash is I have to pay for the server component but the UI development could be easier and have a richer look and feel to it. With HTML5 + JS there is no cost involved but the UI development I feel will be clunky and not smooth. This I am not sure.
View 6 RepliesI am creating a board game and I am using Object Oriented Programming with AS3. I created a movie clip with a circle that moves across the game board. There are 18 squares and 18 frames. I have a button that gives you a value with a dice with the random number function:
public function rollDie():void
{_dieValue = Math.ceil(Math.random()*6)
this.gotoAndStop(_dieValue);}
I have a class for the dice button, die, gameboard, and the main board. I am trying to make the circle move across the board(or go to the frame in the mc) depending on what the value I get with the dice. Here is my code so far:
[Code]....
The mc instance for the gameboard is gameBoard. Also, if anyone knows how to trigger a labeled frame depending on which square the circle lands on that would be a plus.

I am trying to create my first semi-serious flash game. The problem I am having is I want to be able to click a button in the players inventory to equip a different armor to the player, and have that armor work in the game on the same movieclip(Player) without having to re-make all the attacks and moves etc. for each change on another movieclip. My ideas are extremely novice like putting each armor and update on a different frame inside the Player movieclip and then doing a gotoAndStop to the frame. Though that may work I don't know how to goto a frame inside a movieclip. I would like to control this using as much code as possible.I would paste my code but I don't have any code for this part of the game so far. I have tried some simple coding but so far I cannot get the pieces together.

View 1 RepliesUpon hoping to the frame with the drawing board actionscript on it, i've successfully created the erase button to remove all the drawings made, but then i also have a 'HOME' button that takes me back home. BUT the drawing board actionscript is still active even on the HOME frame. +On the home button i've added in the clear(); function to also remove the drawing. Either way this still does not remove the drawing board actionscript. How do I completely disable the drawing board actionscript upon clicking home? but still be able to reactivate it when I'm on the frame again.
[Code]...
in my preloader i made a game, the game plays then has AS that if SPACE is pressed then if will play a winning scene, and if it is not then it will continue on to play the lossing scene, so my AS is like the clip is running then AS<
on (press, keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndPlay(30);
}
so if u press space it will run the good clip if u dont then it will continue running and hit my AS that Gotoandplays (105) which is the lossing squence then it replays this.... So i want to make a counter for this game, a kind of Score board so i made a Dynamic Text Box and i made the var "total" so my new AS is...
on (press, keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndPlay(30);
_root.total = _root.total+100;
}
So it will add 100 to the score when u succsefully press space in adition to makeing the sucess clip play! But it dosnt work...i dont know why it doesnt, ive tried so many things to make it work...I tested my scrpit with buttons like
On (release) {
_root.total = _root.total+100;
}
And the buttons work but not this! why not!

View 1 RepliesI need to create a sound select board. There are 6 buttons; 5 which contain music, and one which will silence the music. Each time you push each button, the previous music will stop. The first button's music will start automatically.
View 1 RepliesI create a board using the class Baldosa (which is a tile on my .fla file with 9frames, each is a tile of a different color). I first create and array of numbers which indicates which frame (color) the baldosa element will display. As grey baldosas are more than the other colors (this is intended), then I unsort the array to avoid grey baldosas accumulating on the right side of the board. Then I push each baldosa in an array, and add each of them as child of the contenedorBaldosas(container) to avoid adding events for each Baldosa.
The problem comes when I want to check collisions. If there's a collision, I swap positions of each Baldosa. It only works if I swap the tile at depth number 0 and the last at depth 79, for the rest of Baldosas, it doesn't detect any collision (the baldosa clicked will return to its original position as nothing had happened. I made a trace and it seems the baldosa clicked doesnt collide with another baldosa in the array (each baldosa is given the name baldosaxx using the variable in the for loop), but rather an unnamed instancexxxx.
Also I'm treating the baldosa elements as Sprites, but as the baldosa in my .fla is a MovieClip, and it contains a Timeline where each frame is a baldosa of a different color, the problem may be also here.

Is it possible to create a forum using Flash?
I'm working on a web page which will display information updated periodically via javascript. I want to have it displayed in a Solari Board, complete with the flipping tiles animation. Is there an existing Flash or Javascript implementation I can use? Here's my super-lousy javascript test for one letter. The solution should take a string and figure out how to flip the existing letters to update it. On a real board they all start at once and each stop after the number of flips needed.
View 2 RepliesI'm brand new to Flash (and game programming, really), but want to learn a bit of it. My overall learning project is to create a Monopoly clone in Flash. nfortunately, I'm struggling to get over even my first hurdle-how to create the board graphically, and how then to deal with it in the code. So far, my thoughts are to break the board down into the different sizes of tiles (the normal property ones, the corner 4 and a large one for the middle section), then somehow place these all in the correct position relative to each other and keep that positioning correct as the pieces (and thus the camera view) move about the board.
Is this a good approach, or is there a better one? where I can find a tutorial specifically on creating board games in Flash (any sort really, wouldn't have to be Monopoly but just a game that has a board which tokens move across - and preferably which has to pan as well).
Also, as an aside, is there any way to have a dynamically coloured rectangle in a flash MovieClip (like you can have dynamic textboxs)? I ask because it would be useful if there was, as I could generate every property tile with just one MovieClip which took a name, a value and a colour...
I have spent the last four hours trying to work this out, using a number of different tutorials and always running into roadblocks in one form or another.
I'm using Flash CS3 with Action Script 2.0 enabled.
Essentially, I want to be able to make individual buttons to play in one frame on the main timeline that turn on and off simple loops that I've made.
I have a video of a man dancing, and I want to give the user the ability to press nine buttons and activate each loop to play over the video.
- I need each loop to be able to layer - so, each button controls only it's own loop - giving the user the ability to compose the music that the dancer is moving to.
The way I though I would do this would be to make a single button for each loop, that when clicked played the loop, and then when clicked again muted that single loop, and then when clicked, played it again and so forth.
- I have the nine loops cut up and in the library, but I don't know how to program this.
Additionally, I would really prefer the loops to not be playing, and for the user to have the chance to build the piece of music around the dancer.
This code is from a drawing board, the problem is:
1- When you click outside the drawing area, a dot is drawn (thus you cant click anything except inside drawing area because it will result in undesired dots)
2- When you drag outside the drawing area the dot is drawn (bad), the pencil doesn't draw (good), but if you drag until reaching the drawing area draws (undesired, because it should only draw when you started to drag from inside the drawing area) how to tweak the code or simple add a "deselect" tool option ? That's a link to the fla file ziped, and that's the code of the drawing board: [URL]

1. allow users to add text as well as lines
2. allow them to add a circle or a square
3. clear last stroke/shape
4. save the drawing
5. email it or print it
I used Kirupa's drawing board tutorial, but when I finished making the flash file I wondered if there was a way to limit where the viewer can draw. For example, on his tutorial he shows you how to create an easy erase button. Well, what if I don't want the viewer to be able to draw on the button. Is there a way to specify the area that you want the viewer to be able to draw on? I tried making the space a movie clip and just adding the actionscript to the movieclip, but when I placed the movie clip inside a bigger flash file it wouldn't let me draw at all. I thought making it a movie clip would then limit the drawable area. Did I do a good enough job explaining my problem? I just want to be able to limit where the viewer can draw, so that the viewer can't get wild and draw all over the buttons and controls.
