How do i .... spot the difference?

Heya ppl im kiki nice to meet ya all,
i was wonderin how do i make spot the difference games?
i have adobe programmes but idk where to start
help….. Plzzzz?

If you want to know where to start, I suggest start by reading the Shootorials here on Kongregate. A spot the difference game is a good idea for a first game to make, though, so I’ll be happy to help you out.

I’ve never made a spot the difference game, but heres the logic I’d go through before making the game:
1. I’ll assume that you know enough of flash to create objects and such. If you start with your two drawn pictures, I would first make new objects for every difference there is.
2. Check the coordinates of a mouse click. I would do this by having an invisible object follow the mouse using the method startDrag(invisibleObject, true) and then doing a hitTest for every time the mouse is clicked between the invisible object and each difference.
3. Next, if it is real difference, I would change the difference back to normal by taking the incorrect movie clip, adding a frame of the real thing, and then do something like this:

if (!root.wrongPicture.isFound) {

if (root.invisibleObject.hitTest(_root.wrongPicture)) {

_root.wrongPicture.gotoAndStop(2);

_root.wrongPicture.isFound=true;

}

}

Where the 1st frame of the wrong picture is the wrong picture, and the 2nd one is corrected.
4. Next, I’d check to see if the mouse did not click on a wrong object, and then do whatever you want to do (play a buzzer, subtract a life, etc.) with this.
5. Thats really it for a spot the difference game. Good luck on your game evilKitty75!

and you really really really really need good art, or else… fail

Judging by the way you write, I have questions. Not to offend you, but did you acquire these Adobe “programmes” legally, or by illegal download?

Unknown, I know many many actual people who write like this in real life too… and this is the interwebs… so you can’t really judge how rich someone is by how they write.. lolol

Well he may have downloaded them legally, he may have downloaded the trials and then cracked them to make them illegal, or he may have bought them.

It doesn’t really make much difference whether his Adobe products are legal or not, he still has the software.

But I would guess from his writing that I will never see this game, will probably be abandoned after he finds out coding is involved.

Ah yer, just saw on her profile she is a woman and 34, and so maybe there is more potential that the game will be made as age generally brings maturity, and it is normally the lack of maturity that stops games being made.
