Hey guys

Ive made one game already which was just a basic move your ball around and collect the other balls and get a highscore in 30 seconds game. And im now interested in making a new game any ideas for a new game im pretty good with turing im not pro im at around novice-intermediate level.

i do beleive that there is a sticky just for that (sticky is a topic that appears at the top of the forums, underneath the "annoncements"), just so ya know.

have you tried pong?

Hmm pong..... yeah ive thought about it... i just gotta figure out whats involved can you gimme some ideas of commands im gonna need to know??

ZeroPaladn · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2005 9:47 am

you need 4 things for pong (the basics)

(1) You need to be able to move the paddles (up and down arrows for player 1, w and s for player 2)
(2) Moving the ball (try to randomize which way the ball goes when it starts)
(3) Keeping score (to see who wins)
(4) Collision Detection (the most annoying part of the pong game, might i add, you need to see if the ball hits the paddle, then make the ball go the seperate direction.)

These are just ideas, and you can bend them to your own whim. Good luck.

Just the animation for the mouth takes along ass time i had to do it for an assigment and it had to draw it in the different direction when you press the arrow keys and it had to move and it took about 5 days to get everything down and timed perfectly we had that assignment 2 weeks ago and sum ppl still arent done Confused

well the mouth is simple, just have 3 different pics (one moth completely open, one half way, and one closed) and the loop them when an arrow key is pressed. Its not pretty, and eats memory ofr breakfast, but it works Smile

as for the mouth in each direction, just Pic.Rotate it.

Mystify · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:03 am

I never thought of that.... DOH Mad

I used like Draw.Oval and stuff over and over instead of using pictures :S

ZeroPaladn · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:04 am

yep, i did your homework..... hope you know how to use the Pic Module. if not just type in Pic and hit F9, that should help you.
