No nooo - its for AppGameKit development purposes only for AppGameKit beginners to be able to create apps and for maybe TGC to add to their AppGameKit collections.

Name will change obvously too once its nearly there

Just added explosion to the follower with number of seconds to explode but need something for an after effect

Quickly got this up, but there must be a much nicer effect that could create with Particles

Thanks

Just a small update



Add the images to the Meda folder - they are not my greatest aristry skills but they can be bettered later. - but i hope they are recognisable to the action selected

The only ones work at moment is Explode, reset explode all, Digger and Builder - the rest will come.

Shall send 1 update daily - and apologies if you feel my coding is messy too. I shall refactor this later on to perhaps reduce it a little.

Me again...Sorry to pester,

but, does anyone know where the AppGameKit logo's are stored of which can use in our AppGameKit Apps whether on a title / credit screens - i remember seeing something somewhere and a clause to state that if do use them to keep there original sizes, shape and colours etc

Any guidance would be great

Do we download them from somewhere?

I havent forgot this,

Has its coming to half way through the month, and still to keep on track on what i suggested, I aim to continue this and have my deadline still set at the end of Jan for each classic game.

So will get cracking with this every full weekends Fr-Sun, as its sometimes tough after a long day at the office with constant programming too

Still lots of collision work to do like walking up and down slops without getting stuck and lots more of those other actions.

Press the explosion button and on a lemming then can explode them

The aim though is to save them and get them home though lol

Crack on with this tomorrow onwards

Hi

Im on with new Actions at present

- Climber, - A climber walks <-- --> until hits a wall and then climbs it

- Stopper - Immediate stops but all the other followers bounce in the opposition direction

and

- Miner - Removes land in the direction the lemming is going.

and

- reorganising the code a little more better to help reduce it a little


Hopefully will get something constructively working by Friday/Saturday on these, plus the other actions to make sure they are all working as I expect them to be.

Plus a little bit on collision work next week- which shouldn't too be difficult.

Lets get all the Actions sorted first.

Suppose you could also call it something like:
"AGK NALC (Not-A-Lemmings-Clone)"
"Lem-things" or even better : "Lame-things"
For it's pretty stupid for animals to just run off a cliff.

Which, as most people know nowadays, apparently was a huge documentary forgery and behavioral exaggeration..

Fun fact from Wikipedia(it's even worse than I though):
Quote: ".. they were, in fact, dumped off the cliff by the camera crew from a truck. Because of the limited number of lemmings at their disposal, which in any case were the wrong sub-species, the migration scenes were simulated using tight camera angles and a large, snow-covered turntable. "


Guess in '58 animal cruelty wasn't observed the same as today. lol

Great initiative though. Loved that game.

Lol - Thanks Rick Makes an interesting read

Back to the game - I will get this done before Feb arrives lol - im just quite enjoying redoing minecraft again. But no im telling myself.. Back to this and do minecraft on and off - like just on Sundays

as i always ask before the months out- anyone have any inspriration of classic games you like to see resurrected for Feb?

can always review https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/223516 for ideas

I was thnking of doing Power Drift later on in the year.

and Fubarpk Blin0k are already doing racing car type of apps - so i will give that genre a miss thank you! lol

Maybe something that is easy but shows what AppGameKit can really acheive

Kinda casually working on that, not so sure I can get it controllable on a phone atm, so its more a learning curve and something im doing
for myself lol. My main aim is mobile and tablet games and the latest sidelines asteroids and space invaders lol I still gotta get those
barracades shootable I got some code that almost works there but scaling up the sprites is just one of the issues

Quote: "I was thnking of doing Power Drift later on in the year."

powerrdrift would be cool

Quote: "Maybe something that is easy but shows what AppGameKit can really acheive"

That's why I did the sideline games both asteroids and space invaders were meant to be one dayers but ended up 2 days as things weren't going
as expected so took a break and blitzkrieg took a little longer

PSI get bored when I take too long a brake from programming not too much into TV but as rick has discovered I stream music all the time
so much I forget im streaming it lol

onto the screen at the horizon and used sine to add curves

Hello

The collisioning side of it is prooving to be a little challenging to be able to check all eventualities of each lemming.

So another idea - we can just do

GetSpriteCollision ( follower, land )

if 1 then has collided with land, but the land sprite will collide all of it,

The auto generation of the land produces this image, you will see in an Editor that there is white space where the sky would be on the image

Does the sprite collide occur if the Alpha channel per pixel = 0 or something (transparency)

How would one create a bit of transparency on non land with auto creating images using

swap()
draw some boxes
render()
getimage()

Im going to download GIMP and self create a world with land and the sky area indeed transparent to see if this would work.

not sure but if your changing the sprite image you need to re initiate the collisions again

Thanks- ill have a browse and do some testing. Think this will be better way to go for collisioning system

Here is a small snippet with something in action which should test two sprites together



The attached image does have transparency when i created it in GIMP

That works well
I think tho if you want to use physics and want the collisions correct you have to
do something like this with each frame or image change

SetSpriteShape(StickFigureSpr,3 )
SetSpritePhysicsOn(StickFigureSpr,2)

Thanks - but its not what i was expecting it to do.

the image is 350 in height with transparency areas at the top of the long red windy line.

I would like to not be collided if the two sprites collide when transparency is hit.

If you move the mouse below the box - you will see that it still states still collided even though its not

I hope you get my meaning
Cool, ill take a look at those commands

Sorry but that prooved after all as not work after all - i changed the image to have a little height in it - but still collided even though on an empty area - give it a whirl with the attached new image

But no worries, we can get round it

So, I developed our own especially for this



The function returns 1 if collides with a image where Alpha is > 128 (HIT) or returns 0 if Alpha < 128 (Not Hit)
Wait till he has fallen and then use < or > keys
