★★★ Puzzle Bobble Challenge ★★★

edited February 2013 in Working with GS (Mac)
Had a few hours spare yesterday so set about trying to make a puzzle bobble with GS.

Coded it so you can have a different number of balls together before they pop so for eg if you want yellow to have 5 linked before they pop its possible.

Its using tables of course and you can set what balls come in what order, you can also show as many upcoming balls as you want but i did it so you see the next 3.

The bubbles in the scene are set to none movable so its pretty light on resources atm.

I need to work out the logic for the balls to pop if there not in a link which might not be easy :P



No idea what i will do with it when its finished tbh as it was just a little "challenge myself" type project.

Might do a give away competition of some sort when its finished.

Darren.

    Working on some code to pop the balls not in the chain so you can pop balls above and the balls not connected will pop.

    Good Job, I love how you guys push things to the limits and make these games. I tried doing the same thing in a week and I got.stuck on how to make the bubbles pop that were below the chain ect. So looks like you have a way better understanding then I have so keep it up.

    Holy Moly that was awesome! @Elfzim, not sure about this but i think you can create actor at the chain saying bubble pop when collide with it.

    @DeepBlueApps.com Hey Darren I bought the GS Project Resizer a while back and I see there's a new version now that supports Android - is there any way to get the updated version without buying a new copy? I currently have 0.2.7.

    Sure send me an email.

    Added a camera shake when balls are about to drop down.

    Got as far as i want with this one so back to Viking, might pick it up later on in the year to do something with it.

    In regards to the PMs about it being released on the official marketplace (due to recent sales results) its a definite no until we see a big improvement on marketing for the store.

    oooh.. very nice Darren... I love seeing projects at the development stage, probably more than I like seeing a finished game.
