Code change.

Alright this is where it gets somewhat awkward, having used actionscript before i knew that every key has it's own "value" for example A is (65) B (67) etc...

When playing the game (if you have) you'll see that the buttons to move up and down are infact Q and A which are a HORRIBLE way to move and play the game.

So i decided to change them to the UP and DOWN arrows. Looked through the code and managed to find this on the movie clip of the paddle.

onClipEvent(load){
spd=20;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(81)and _y>50){
_y-=spd;
}
if(Key.isDown(65)and _y<350){
_y+=spd;
}
}

The bold parts are the most important parts, the 81 and 65 are the values of Q and A. So i changed the values to what i found out from Adobe to be 38 and 40.

The new code looks like this ;

onClipEvent(load){
spd=18;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(38)and _y>50){
_y-=spd;
}
if(Key.isDown(40)and _y<350){
_y+=spd;
}
}

I changed the speed aswell, as the ball seemed almost too quick.

Monster pong!!

Before i even started i had to find a basic source code (Script) for a game of pong. Luckily it was easy enough to find one, albiet it somewhat ugly the basic game is down and open for change.

LINK!

Finished game?..

Not quite, but it's incredibly close.

CLICK!

Just realised that the score has bugged, i'll be honest it's a huge kick in the balls and because i'm not adept with coding i can't even begin to fix it. I could backtrack and rebuild it from the start but i've done to much now to rip it all apart.

Quite annoyed.

Knew i forgot something.

It seemed i had forgotten the mothership from my sprite designs, i went back and turned it into a package shot (Be it shrunk down and not overly noticible, i think it's noticable for people to realise what it is).


Edit : Oh, and i got to use my old design for something \o/..

Mark #3

This is the 3rd and hopefully final design for the sprites, i stuck to a "2" pixel wide pencil this time as so that's why they are blockier than the pre-designs.

I'm happy with the way they came out, even with less detail you can still see what and who they are supposed to be.

Redesign#3

So this is the 3rd version of the blue monster. (You can see previous version in previous posts). I just simplified it and stuck to the block look so it worked when scaled down.

Sprites

This is the finished sprite sheet (For the monsters and the barracks), but upon testing found that they are too smooth when shrunk, so back to the drawing board.






As you can see here because of the detail i put into the sprites when shrunk down it all seems to blend together and isn't as detailed.

So as stated, back to the drawing board.
