The Beginning of my game....

[Delta]

Ok this is only the beginning of my game.... it still doesn't work right (I'm working on the ramp)... but once thats finished everything will be a breeze (hopefully :S )... but ya... check it out

WOW! For some reason the whole screen moves when you press the arrow keys does anyone know how to fix it?... because that suxorz... but ya... arrows key move the ball still(with the screen too) ... ... ok just grab ahold of the scroll bar and move with the arrow keys lol have fun

wow, good job Delta, yes I had that problem with my other flash game and I just gave a link to a website, with only the game..
One thing I notived is on the slope you are not able to go from the slope up to the scond level, or you are allowed to go down when you are on the slope, I would restrict that..

[Delta]

well as of now the ramp doesn't work... I'm having problems with that stupid thing.... but ya... it'll be working sooner or later

[Amailer]

agrr, stupid laptop does not have flash plugin installed......-.-

[TheXploder]

You got your map in array, right? you use numbers like 1 for a wall and 0 for the moveable ground, and then the slope can also be considered moveable but no it has some restrictions and a sacond level wall you can only move on if you were on a connecting slope... thats the general idea for me...

Please, explain how you set it up..

[Delta]

Ya... I've got my map in an array ...
0 - ground
1 - wall
2 - ramp

but somehow... it screws up....like I've looked over the code hundreds of times... and still boom! nothing works... so I'm changing my setup... its not gonna be a ramp now... its gonna be an elevator... you press spacebar it goes up/down... and boom problem averted

[TheXploder]

Delta your giving up to quickly, if you let me see your code I could try fix it, the movement is restricted for the bridge..

[Delta]

lol... see thats not the thing.. lol... I'm not giving up at all (well kinda ) but I figure the elevator idea I have will be much kewler ... and what do you mean the bridge is restricted?

[TheXploder]

you cannot jump of the bridge/you cannot move left or right..

[Delta]

ya but see the bridge and the ramp are completely different... the bridge (0) is surrounded by water (1).... whereas the ramp is surrounded by the wall(1) and the ground(0)... see the problem is that I need to make sure that you can't go up to the next level unless your on the ramp... except it doesn't work... I've set variables like for example - var lvl = 1;

once your on the ramp lvl = 1.5;
if lvl = 1.5 then let the player goto the next level... except it doesn't work... and it should (at least the way I coded it )... I dunno... I'm just thinking that the elevator is easier for what I need done... but who knows.. I might end up having both trust me... this game is gonna be kewler than it is now... thats for shizzle

[TheXploder]

Try this: let's say the slope is 2 and wall is 1 then in your code just put something like this:

if (map(row+1, col) == 1 && map(row, col) == 2) {
{

so check ahead of the player if he is standing on a slope and if he is about to move up to the next lvl...

[Delta]

see thats the thing... I've got pretty much the same code as that... except with my variables and stuff... but it just doesn't want to work... hence I'm changing the way I do things...

[TheXploder]

really strange why it doesn't work then, can I see the script, that you used for that?

i would have it more like

ground 1
higher ground 2
higher higher ground 3
.
.
.
ramp -1
wall -2


so when ever u go on ramp u go one level up...
