Keyboard Class - EVERYONE IS A TESTER

Sammy_Bro · Post by **Sammy_Bro** » Thu Mar 03, 2011 4:42 pm

Of course, my Dad is having library computer classes, and I'll need people to test this game. This game is going to be PERFECT.

Demo 1 later.

Could you maybe explain anything? I have no clue what you're talking about. :3

It teaches how to use the keyboard. Ohyes. You can suggest ideas.

Awesome, I can type but I only use 2 fingers. This'll help.

Nice key sprites, by the way.

Sammy_Bro · Post by **Sammy_Bro** » Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:46 pm

Thanks! Anyways, the hardest sprite to make -currently- is the Shift key. I had to double the size of the key sprite. I might have to triple the shift key sprite just to get the space bar sprite!

eh... isn't that easy? Because I do it perfectly and it's easy for me.

I guess your right.

Only 5 levels done. Level 5 is a collab of 5 levels just for the Stickykeys Test. Also, suggest ideas please! This game needs 10 levels before demo 1 is released.

Could you use a timing method like 6.8 seconds? It's kinda weird the way you have it right now. :3

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:56 pm

Ok, I'm speaking for him...sorta.

It's hard to get seconds in game maker, unless you use sleep. But that can only stop evreything in the game for a bit. GM isn't that great for timing.

He is using GM, right?

Or you could use Alarms. Every 30 steps equals 1 second.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:19 pm

On a room speed of 30? So, on a room speed of 50 its 50 steps to a second?

That's useful!

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:24 pm

I don't understand. I'm saying that in objects you can use these things called alarms. If you want it to wait 3 seconds before the actions of Alarm # Event, set it to 90. Or if 1 second, 30. And on.

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:38 pm

That's assuming the room speed is set to 30. If you set the room speed to 45, then 30 steps would be 0.666... of a second. If you set the room speed to 10, then 30 steps would be 3 seconds.

Sammy_Bro · Post by **Sammy_Bro** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:52 pm

I can do that. Thanks for the idea!

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:35 pm

Ah. That is probably why my time limits aren't working much

Sammy_Bro · Post by **Sammy_Bro** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:57 pm

bumbp

Of course, Demo 1 is getting darn close. If you can send me ideas quickly after halfway of Demo progress, you earn a code that if you re-send to me, you could win Beta Testing. :3

What about the "EVERYONE IS A TESTER" tagline you've got going in the title?

LexieTheFox · Post by **LexieTheFox** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 11:01 pm

Hey Sammy_bro,
I saved your screenshot and made some keyboard keys for you (and your dad) To use!
Keys are only 2 but they are
Enter key
and
Space key (I put the word space on it to for a reasson, i don't know why)

Also, seeing they come in red. I made two alternates for them. Red and green, (will post the yellow if you want. But ill have to make it first)

LexieTheFox · Post by **LexieTheFox** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 11:13 pm

Sorry for double post but i made more.
Back-Space and Esc (Escape) Button.
The Esc/Escape Button comes with two extra colors.
Yellow and Blue.
Yellow and blue are Menu colors. (Read last line in post)
The normal white green and reds are for the game.
I thought that the menu buttons were blue and that when highlighted they would be yellow.
So yellow is high-lighted/hovered on and blue is not.
(In case you have a menu. if not don't use the blue and yellow unless you want to)

LexieTheFox · Post by **LexieTheFox** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 11:15 pm

TP!!!
Terribly sorry,
But could the mods delete that post along with this one? (the post above me)
Because i forgot to add the attachments.
Please delete this line but not the bottom's contents and attachments.
---
I made 2 more!
Esc button and Back-Space
Blue and yellow are for the menu In case you have one.
Yellow: selected/hovered on
Blue: non selected

Use sourceforge and SVN so that we can test every tiny change you make.
