Sep 15, 2009 9:18am Yeah, there is a way to use the shapeflag to get proper hitTests. But it’s a huge pain in the ass. I honestly just want to learn AS3 which has both a bounding box hitTest function and a movieClip alpha hitTest function. Not to mention the other reasons for moving to AS3. Here’s a good article on using the shapeflag method though. http:/… show moreYeah, there is a way to use the shapeflag to get proper hitTests. But it’s a huge pain in the ass.

Here’s a good article on using the shapeflag method though. http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=190163&highlight=shapeflag Actually, I haven’t any complaints with it for DSG, but have had quite a bit for other games. As for squares, I made it so they will now spawn off screen, so the corner trick should be taken care of. Thanks for your help Mailes, I really appreciate it! show less

Aug 28, 2009 10:44am I actually have submitted a few things to newgrounds. I’ll probably put Deep Space Glow on there after I get all the bugs worked out. Yeah some of your work isn’t kong appropriate, but it’s still really good. I enjoyed it ;) http://chitown15.newgrounds.com/

Aug 27, 2009 11:14pm That would make more sense. I’ll make sure the variable resets on the menu screen, that should fix that. If it spawns on top of you it’s supposed to kill the player. Not sure how I got those two mixed around, but it should be easy to fix! Other developers really do make the best beta testers / bug finders! :)

Maybe I sleep walk, maybe I was abducted by aliens, maybe my brothers are messing with me (They have done much worse). But I de… show morehmmmm It works for me.

I was still learning basic AS2 when I started this game so some of it is very glitchy. Free health is fixed. I put – instead of -=. haven’t played through the game yet, but it was w… show moreThanks Mailes. As for the level 5 boss glitch, I can’t get it to glitch. Must have been a weird error.
