Hi all

Woohooo!! I have finally got another Flash job to do. Anyways the game I have been asked to make is a side scrolling game where a character basically runs along picking up bonuses and...

Hi there

re.loading - I am making a similar game now. With the help of the guys on this forum you are in good hands.

I haven't done much yet - just toying with some ideas for characters.
...

Yeah - I will post the code once I have tidied it up - it may be good to write a tutorial as I tidy it up - there are loads of hastily done bits of code at 3 in the morning. I have finally got my...

Hi all

I have just finished my first Flash 5 game - a rip off of Pacman. Anyway - if anyone would care to play it, and let me know of any bugs, recomendations for improvements, etc, please let me...

Nice 1 - Thanks for testing it Mad Sci :)

Preloader - hehe - I don't know how to make one of those - yet!

Do you think a preloader is necessary for 59k?


Thanks to all who have helped me in...

Thanks FlashCat

Well - I think I have fixed the bug by reprogramming a major part of the game - what a nightmare!

Anyway I have just finished this so I am not 100% sure it is fixed - let me...

The way I do the tunnel is I have extended the grid data by 3 extra columns on either side - hence the movement of baddies and pacman should work the same as when pacman is within the main game area....

Thanks for the Feedback guys

I am not sure how to deal with the reappearance of baddies - currently they reappear after 10 seconds - they always reappear in their original starting positions....

Cheers for the suggestions Mad Sci :)

I have implemented 2 of the 3. I haven't worked out yet how to make the baddies run away from Pacman - too tired to do it now (wow! 6 in morning).

Anyway -...

Thanks bangers that looks like the business - It arrived just at the right time :)

On a similar note - I am having problems with a timer related problem.

Basically when Pacman eats a monster, I...

Hi Guys

Phase 1 of my game is nearly finished - I just seem to be stuck on what seems a really simple thing.

When "Pacman" collides with a monster, I remove all the remaining monsters instantly...

Hi there illumin8d1

My wall clips don't have any action script - infact the maze is just one graphic. What I have done is create an array to store the contents of each grid square. Then if Pacman...

Thanks

I thought of doing that - the only problem is that I have all the code controlling Pacman on an on enterFrame clip event attached to the Pacman movie clip. Therefore if I duplicate him, I...

Hi all

I am making a game - similar to Pacman. There is a maze populated with little dots that Pacman picks up as he wanders round.

Anyway I have noticed that the dots seem to be on a higher...

Hi there

Nice idea Banger - yeah I would love a copy when you have finished it :)

That solves a problem I have just encountered in that I want to have more than one timer at once. So with your...

Thanks

Unfortunately I am running the game loop just over one frame. I have come up with a working solution for now. When the pacman eats a powerup I call a custom function called
start_Timer

Ok - Its AI time.

I have decide to give each of my 4 monsters a different personality as follows:

Shy - Will always move in the opposite direction from "Pac"
Blind - Random movement ignoring...

Not sure whats changed since last version - but I have been doing something for the last 2 hours so it must be different :)

Anyway it seems real quiet on this forum today - I am getting no answers...

Hi all

Ok - if u don't already know from my hundreds of questions on this forum, I am making a pacman game.

Anyway, there are 4 special power ups that the "Pacman" can pick up. If he picks up...

Hi there

Just getting to grips with Flash 5 as I write a pacman type game. Anyway I have 4 monsters in my game and Pacman. All 5 of these objects have very similar behaviours and properties but...

Hi there

Dammit I forgot about the monster AI - at the moment they move completely randomly taking no notice of "Pacmans" position. I tried a few days ago to do create some sort of chasing action...

Hi there

Forget about the sound question - I actually read the manual and sussed it out (still a few sound problems though).

Anyway I have just uploaded the latest version - can people let me...

Hi there

I have just noticed that when it calls the statement

eat_pill.start();

a second time before the previously called one has finished playing, it continues playing the first one and...
