C# :: Properly Create Game Objects?

Dec 30, 2009

I am making sims like game and right now I am trying to figure out how I will structure my objects. right now I am thinking to create a class called GameObject, the psuedo is below

public class GameObject {
name:String
width:int
height:int
}

This way I could create objects like bushes, trees, and buildings. But then I began to think. what if I wanted to create multiple buildings and trees of the same type ?? I would have to keep making instances of GameObject and giving it a new name and height and width. The properties would have to be the same values in order for me to duplicate one object. That seems a little tedious. Then I figure , maybe that isnt the right way to go. So I was thinking, I would have to extend GameObject like below

public class Tree extends GameObject{
birdHouse:Boolean
}
public class Building extends GameObject{

[code].....

Now this way I can create a class that has a method that loosely accept accepts any type that inherits GameObject.

Selector.loadObject(gObject:IGameObject);

Depending on what type it is (i.e tree, building, house) I can use a case statement to figure out which type it is and evaluate it accordingly.

I also created a Tile Class that will pass through the loadObject method. It also will be a child of the GameOject class. if the case statement finds that it is type Tile, it will highlight whatever Tile depending on what tile my mouse is over.

My second question is if a class inherits a class that implements a interface, is that class child class considered to be a IGameObject as well. or does it have to implement that interface directly. does all this sound like I am going in the right directions lol, as far as organization is concerned.

Actionscript 3 :: Game Timer Not Calculating Start Time Properly?

Jun 22, 2011

The game is like Asteroids where four rocks are placed in the corners of the stage at the beginning and then start moving randomly around the stage. The problem is the timer used is started the moment that the flash file starts not the moment the player clicks the start button. So if you are on the start screen for 5 seconds before you click play when the game actually begins the rocks are where they would be after 5 seconds of play, which could be right over the player.

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Tamagotchi Game Type Game?

Mar 28, 2012

im trying to create a tamagotchi game type game. For some reason i can not add any items to the stage.Currently i have imported 2 png images to the stage and coverted them to movie clips. One is called TamagotchiCharacter and the other is called Beer. I have also created a new 2 AS3.0 script class called TamagotchiGame and DraggableItem. The following is TamagotchiGame:

Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class TamagotchiGame extends MovieClip {

[code]....

I have assigned the above code as the BaseClass of the Beer symbol, this has allowed the beer to become draggable and droppable etc.when i run the program nothing happens, i just get a blank white screen.

ActionScript 3.0 :: RemoveChild() And Cleaning Up Objects Properly?

Jun 26, 2011

I'm a relatively experienced programmer, but I'm completely new to as3my question is how can I remove one object and subsequently all it's child objects and their listeners?I need to remove all objects from a certain object called "world". My objects are all on top of this "world" object. the game has a level object which is on top of this "world" object and it produces enemies among other things on an enter frame event.To remove this from the stage I call the world.destroy() method from the main timeline.

Code:
// * Destroy the world
public function destroy()

Actionscript 3 :: Algorithm - Scale Rotated Objects Properly?

Mar 17, 2010

This is unfortunately a quite complex issue to explain, so please don't get discouraged by the wall of text - it's there for a reason. i'm working on a transformation manager for flash, written with Actionscript 3. Users can place objects on the screen, for example a rectangle.

This rectangle can then be selected and transformed: move, scale or rotate. Because flash by default rotates around the top left point of the object, and I want it to rotate around the center, I created a wrapper setup for each display object (eg. a rectangle).

[Code]...

Now, to the question: should I use a different kind of setup, system or structure? Should I maybe use matrixes, if so, how would you keep a static width/height after rotation? Or how do I fix my current wrapper system for scaling after rotation?

Ruby On Rails 3 :: HTTPService Not Properly JSON-encoding Nested Objects On Send()?

Nov 22, 2011

i am creating an object like this:

var myObj:Object = new Object();
myObj["someProperty"] = {
anotherProperty: "someValue",
whateverProperty: "anotherValue"
}

now i want to send it to a web server (rails):

var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
service.url = "http://server.com/some/path/entry.json";
service.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
service.send( myObj );

the problem is that the server receives the json like this:

{"someProperty"=>"[object Object]"}

is this a problem with HTTPService? should i use the good old loader/urlrequest and serialize myself? by the way, serializing and then passing the string doesn't work, webserver receives empty request as GET.but i kinda want to use the httpservice class though...

Loading Objects And Dragging Objects To Create New Instances?

Sep 22, 2009

I want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.

For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.

Flash :: Can't Properly Create Motion Tweens Between Two Keyframes In CS4?

Jan 16, 2012

I'm trying to create a flash animation of a wing flapping using three keyframes. The first keyframe is at frame 1. I then created a second keyframe at frame 5 by pressing F6, and then I created another keyframe at frame 10 by pressing F6. At frame 5, I rotated the wing so that it is going up. Frame 10 is the same as frame 1.frame 1: frame 5: frame 10: I right clicked on a frame between frames 5 and 10 and then clicked the first optio , "Create Motion Tween"; I then performed the same action on a frame between frames 1 and 5. When I preview or test the movie, there is no transition between the frames. From frame 1 to 5, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping up. From frame 5 to 10, there is supposed to be a transition of the wing flapping downwards to its initial position. Instead, when I test the movie, the wing remains still until frame 5 and instantly goes to its "wing up state" and when it gets to frame 10, instantly goes to its "wing down state". Here is what the timeline looks like after I've made the changes mentioned above:

I'm using Flash CS4 to make the animation but the tutorial I'm following is using Flash CS3. I know I can use other methods to create the motion tween but I want to know why the method I'm using isn't working.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Store Objects In Game

Feb 18, 2009

Suppose I have a list of 100 enemies on the stage like this (pseudocode):

Code:
// init:
enemies = new Array();
for (i=0; i<100; i++) {
temp = new Enemy(a, b, c);
stage.addChild(temp);
enemies.push(temp);
}

Now enemies is an array of all the enemies, so I can update all of their positions, and other properties, each frame. Is this a good way to do things? Because I just realized that I'm storing each enemy twice: One time in enemies Array and one time in stage.children. Maybe I should get rid of the enemies Array altogether, and just use stage.getChildAt() to update the enemies?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Collision Mask For Objects In A Game?

Sep 15, 2010

I'm starting with actionscript 2 and I can't figure out how I set a collision mask for enemies and characters. I've got birds that flap their wings but I only want the player to collide with the body, not with the wings, as they take up too much space and it would be unfair.
 
I tried mc.setMask and other things I found online, but somehow it didn't work, ie: did nothing. I think I don't get the way this works. I thought you'd need like an invisible rectangle that it checks collisions against instead of the actual animation.

Then, if the player catches it, the ball disappears and gives the points to the player.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Color Objects That Are Flying Around In Space Game?

Jul 5, 2011

trying to color objects that are flying around in my space game.When I shoot and hit them - the affected enemies shall blink. The graphics are pre-rendered (i.e. there's an rotation array and function where the degrees and their appropriate rotation for the objects are stored / calculated for better performance).

So - my idea was to enhance that rotation function with a functionality for additional coloring; but the colored AND rotated objects shall be stored apart of the normal rotated objects. To accomplish this I made a nested array:in row one there are 360 rotated graphics of one object and in row two there are 360 graphics of a rotated and colored object.

Problem: Coloring works but they are not rotated (always at 0 degrees).

Code:
public function createRotationWithColorBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0):Array
{
trace("sourceBitmapData.width=" + sourceBitmapData.width);

Actionscript 3 :: Cs5 - Creating A Game Of Falling Random Objects

Oct 10, 2011

I am attempting to create a game that will simulate groceries coming down a conveyor belt. The player acts as a bagger and must click and drag the groceries into designated bags (one for cold food and one for non-cold food). When the correct choice is made the food will disappear and the score will increase +1.

I have become overwhelmed by thinking about how to do this and have not found helpful answers that actually work when I try to compile them so I decided to ask. how I can have random grocery items fall down the screen? I assumed I could create an array of movieclips and have them be called to fall down randomly, but I am not sure how this would work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Layer Manipulation - Game-engine, Which Will Add Objects To Itself As Symbols?

Jul 8, 2009

I'm creating a game-engine, which will add objects to itself as symbols, and I want to be able to choose how they are "layered". For example, say I decide to model things in a type of 3D, and the Z co-ordinate is used for depth (distance from front), how would I translate this into an object 1 unit away rendering in front of an object rendering 2 units away? The engine programming I've done fine in terms of calculating the values etc., as I have a strong javascript background so that was the easy what with actionscript's neat OO syntax, but getting it to do things visually is a bit problematic know, heh. So far all I've really managed is a nice little loading bar, which isn't really that hard =D
 
Also, the symbols I create are actually going to be comprised of multiple parts; a base-layer, a detail-layer, and a colour-layer. What is the easiest way to do this? Ideally I'd create the symbol with multiple layers of its own, and simply toggle the detail and colour-layers on/off as required, and tint the colour-layer independently of the rest of the symbol. Is this possible? Or will I need to use multiple symbols and move them in tandem myself?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Oriented Game - Referencing Dynamic Objects

Jun 26, 2009

I'm doing this object oriented game and I create a bunch of 'boxes' via a for loop

Code:
Select allfor (var z=0; z < numOfBoxes; z++){
var box:Object = new Object();
box.mc = new Box();
box.mc.name = "box"+z
box.mc.x = Math.round((Math.random()*(530-box.mc.width)) + 20);
for (var i=0; i<boxXArray.length; i++){
[Code] .....

I get my random amount of boxes scattered over my stage (I haven't put in any checks to see if they are touching). How do I 'name' these boxes so I can reference them later? Say I want to move the .x of boxA in another function? Is there a simple way to call them box+z instead of just all as box? (Then I can run them through a loop later to talk to them).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Flash Game Have Save Files Using Shared Objects?

Dec 13, 2009

I'm trying to make a flash game have save files using shared objects and I'd like to keep all the data in one file with several children.

The three things I'd like to do are:Check whether the file exists (create a new file if it doesn't), then check whether to child named with text in an imput box exists, and if it doesn't create a new file (using the text in an imput box), and then set the value of that node to 0.

Then later I'd like to change that node to another number (the easy part).I'd also like there to be a way to disable the shared objects (incase the user doesn't allow shared objects).I've tried to do this myself using a few tutorials, but I could get it to work.I couldn't use the text in the input box to name the child,and I couldn't check the size of the child node to see whether it existed or not.
