[disc] Flashkit Minigame Marathon - proposal and discussion

[Squize]

Bit hard mate. Is it going to be you have as many chances as you can in 5 seconds, rather than miss it once and lose a life ?

I agree with Squize. The game seems a bit hard even with some practice. Perhaps decreasing the distance between the ball and basket could help.


Also, would it be a good idea to create a new thread for the games? I mean this thread could remain for general discussion regarding the whole project and the other thread could be for comments, suggestions regarding the games. I could start the thread and have the first post list links to all the games. That list would be updated as more games are submitted.

Do it babe, this needs a bit of a kick start until the loader is completed, or at least in beta.

that'd be great - also with a link to Pred's template.

How many games so far are actually using the template? It would be great if they could be posted too so I could just slot them into the loader for testing.

at the moment mine is using iopreds loader, so it should work...unless i did it wrong, but im pretty sure it is done correctly...

Ok, I'll start the thread.

Hmm. I just downloaded the 'star' game .fla and modified that for my game because I didn't find the template. Found it now though, so I'll add it to the new thread and update my game later if necessary.

You can visit the Flashkit Minigame Marathon - GAMES LIST thread here: http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...hreadid=525556

If I missed something let me know.

with that timer thing, do the game creators get to modify it a little bit? if not how will it do things for all types of games??? we dont make our own timers. is that right?

like my 2 games are totally different. one is to get to a certain area and another is to shoot 5 targets. you gota have different code to find out wether or not the player wins.

another thing, with that basic template, whats that infield thing for??? im making my games fit the template.

thanks guys

Nice work on the thread io3!

Leight, you can't modify the timer, since the point of these minigames is the time restriction (5 seconds). At the end of that time the game will read the variable 'victory' from the minigame. So the game can be of any design whatsoever, but at the end of it, the game has to know whether the player won or lost and the variable "victory" will be true/false accordingly.

ahh okay - kool :d thanks kdsh7!

function endGame() {
    // if return true, you get a point, if return false, you lose a life
    gotoAndStop(3);
    inputs.toLowerCase();
    input = inputs.split(" ");
    i = 0;
    while (i<6) {
        if (input[i] == word) {
            score++;
        } else {
            score--;
        }
        i++;
    }
    if (score>=5) {
        victory = true;
    }
    return victory;
}
function checkFinished() {
    // if this returns true, the loader will call endGame();
    return gameover;
}

i dont understand what all that score, imput, imputs, i is used for. has it got something to do with the loading thing and timer? or can we put the code that we need in there so that the player can win or lose?

i've removed my thread now. Io3's is better anyways
