Movement Tutorial Part-1

Ahem…i know this tutorial is availabel on almost all tutorial websites but everyone starts with something simple…..so in this tutorial i will tell you how to make a moving character and add friction and other effects..

Movement is found in most flash games like RPG’s and many more.

So first start with drawing a circle.Then convert it to a Movie Clip and then open the actions panel and wirte the following actions-

onClipEvent (load) {
    speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
        _x -= speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
        _x += speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
        _y -= speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
        _y += speed;
    }
}

Now the explationation:

This part:

onClipEvent (load) {
    speed = 5;
}

Means that when the move is loaded it sets a variable called speed and it’s value is equal to 5.

The next Part

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
        _x -= speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
        _x += speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
        _y -= speed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
        _y += speed;
    }
}

In this part it checks that if the Left key is pressed the value of x coordonates decerease by the value of speed(which is 5).
You can simple understand what it means just the same as above with the corresponding keys.

In the next part you will learn how to make character which rotates and diagonal movement and collision detection with walls….

My New Game

Hi to all again…sorry for such a late post..was a bit busy..

I recently submitted a new game to NewGrounds.com…it is called “Music Beats” it is a rhythm based game game..earlier the game has various difficulty levels but due to some problems i had to remove them but then also the game is enjoyable for a few minutes.Well…the game got a very low rating the lowest i’ve ever got but hey!! everybody starts from scratch..one day i may also get 3+ rating out of 5 or who knows…a 4+(the chances are very Less:)  

PLAY MUSIC BEATS

Epsilon

If you may have played WeCreateStuff’s PORTAL then Epsilon may look familiar to you, but instead of a player with a gun, you are given a small orb. Epsilon is a game in which you should teleport the orb to the given target…it may hear a bit ordinary puzzle game but the fun starts as you are given the features of Pausing the Orb, Reflections, Time Travel(Yeah!), Gravity Shifter, No gravity etc..

In the game ‘Portal’ you were having a gun to shoot portal’s ,but in Epsilon, already 2 portals are given that are draggable. In Epsilon there are other features such as-
1.Pause The Orb and change the position of the portal.
2.Reflection
3.Time Travel
4.Gravity Shifter
5.No gravity

These features make the game awesome but the graphics are INSANE! They are just great, with such great graphics also comes huge requirement of processors ram. That is the reason in some levels some the features are turned off. The game will take a while to load for the modem users like me..

Silent Walk FPS Creator

Ever you wanted to make your own 3D FPS Game, you may have heard of some softwares that allow you to do so, but i found a software called ‘Silent Walk FPS Creator’ it is really easy to use and user friendly. You don’t have to write a single line of code to make your games you just need to choose the texture and place walls, roofs, floor’s etc. You can add enemies, friendly people, plant’s, button’s that activate something when touched and the list goes on..

Two months ago their new version was out, while the main editor easy to use but other controls confuse me a bit, in the older version some of the settings were predefined but could be edited but in this version each time you make a new file you have to choose the settings first. One more negative is that newer version lacks live Preview with which you could play a raw version of the level you were making, but still the newer is better than the last version. I also liked the forum which is quite active and you can surely ask for help there. I asked a question and got the reply in nearly 30 minutes.

The software is increadebly low in size and comes with a bundle of textures free to use in games. In the last version only Obj. models were supported but in this version the range has expanded…it now supports .x(DirectX) , .3ds and some more.The software costs something around $26 but it can also be used freely but with a small banner on the top of the screen..

In an overall i think it is a awesome software for creating 3d FPS games probably better than those other FPS creators that are nearly 100 MB+ size.
