Strings and stuff

Post by Nobody » Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:49 am

Okay, I can't make anyone code games for me, but can anyone help me learn coding?

In particular, can you either tell me if/how I can make the main character thing attached to the mouse by a string in the same way as in Pop, a mini-game unlocked by beating, and finding a code in Within a Deep Forest.

Sorry for the late reply, but you need lots of experience to script that kind of thing.

You'll have to use draw functions, the gravity_direction variable and the point_direction() function. I'll make a demo for you later (need to do homework).

EDIT: Demo is done.
EDIT2: Whoops, deleting.. you said you don't want anyone to code for you... I suck. XD

Anyway, I think you should pass this to later on your learning list. It's a little complicated and you must understand in detail how it works to be able to code further. You should take something simpler to start with (I'm assuming from your post that you've never GM-coded before).
