You’re missing one parenthesis. Here’s it tidied up, I guess.

Topic: Game Programming / Finding strange things when viewing someone else's code...

I feel the compulsion to use brackets every time I use any if statements, and I like my brackets to take up one whole line. For instance,

 protected function keyDownHandler( e:KeyboardEvent ):void{
	if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER  && input.text.length > 0 )controller.keywordSearch( input.text );
	if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER && input.text.charAt(0) == "" && input.text.length == 0){
		controller.keywordSearch( input.text );
	}
}

Would be

protected function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
	if((e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)  && (input.text.length > 0))
        {
                controller.keywordSearch(input.text);
        }
	if((e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER) && (input.text.charAt(0) == "") && (input.text.length == 0))
        {
		controller.keywordSearch(input.text);
	}
}

Just sayin. Now sure helps in reading it. Two periods in one…uh…word seems strange.

Topic: Game Programming / Is this tutorial legitimate?

If you’re using FlashDevelop for the Shootorials, just draw a circle using the graphics instead. Good luck with that tutorial, it’s pretty complicated for me.

Topic: Game Programming / Gaiz

FlashDevelop told me “col 3 Error: The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions”. Not clear to a beginner, or at least to me.

I tested removing a parenthesis before an if statement in JCreator

public class asdf
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 0;
if(a==2)

System.out.println(“Hi”); } else { System.out.println(“Bye”); } }

}

and it gave me errors that did not say I was missing a parenthesis either, pointing to different lines to where I may have missed up (5 errors) . Are these improper IDEs?

And that’s why you don’t use animation software to code.

Making trivial mistakes such as = instead of == and forgetting to close parenthesis seems to be a universal problem with programmers, no matter what you use.

Topic: Game Programming / Gaiz

Don’t worry. I figured out the problem. After looking through 222 lines for 5 hours, I realized I was missing an open bracket below my if statement. Here’s what I got so far.

Rocket Gates – Fly your rocket through some gates! One button arcade game similar to Helicopter Game. I originally planned on making this a music game where the rocket goes through the gates at the same time as the music hits a beat and if you miss the gate, the music kinda hiccups and the screen shakes. Anyway, pretty basic game with tons of room for possibility.

This blew my mind.

The Covenant has sheer numbers AND technology that would destroy anything.

Topic: Off-topic / Could the Spartans alone take on the Covenant AND the Locust?

Locust doesn’t have advanced technology. It’s just in a different form than humans, i.e. most their transportation is living.

And fan fiction just makes the Spartans look cool, they just had a more advanced armor and training.

Topic: Off-topic / Could the Spartans alone take on the Covenant AND the Locust?

The Covenant has Tier 2 technology.

The human race has Tier 3 technology.

Locusts, I would assume, are Tier 4.

Spartans alone couldn’t take on the Covenant. The human race as a whole barely could.

Okay well one thing is for sure.

The dipshit in the tutorial got his functions wrong, it shouldn’t be

  if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))

 {

 _x = _y+velocity;

 }

 

It needs to be:

 if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
 {
 _x += velocity;
 }

That way it stays relative to the ship, allowing it to move forward.

_x and _y is both AS2 and AS3? Thought AS3 got rid of most, if not all, of the underscores.

Topic: Technical Support / turn off chat feature?

Originally posted by collusion:

I know of a way to load a game into a window without the chat, but it also loads it without the kongregate ads and so forth (it just loads the swf, none of the rest), so its probably against the kongregate rules.

Would this sign him out? If it’s just loading the game, he loses all badges and stuff, right?

I guess that Show Picture is the same as Copy Image Address, which would be the second solution I posted and Copy Shortcut is the same as Copy Image Location.

I also believe it should be Copy Shortcut.

I think you can also click Properties and it will give you the url somewhere.

Topic: Game Programming / FlashDevelop multiple instances?

Y HALLO THAR

I was trying to get two windows of FlashDevelop to run. I tried looking it up, and it tells me to use command prompt, but I hardly know how to use that thing. Actually, I kind of just want to open two projects, or have two projects open at once, so I can compare code and fill in the blanks missing on my current project.

You have to move around houses to work? Huh. Buy a laptop if you are “Making” a game… :)

Laptops can be quite expensive for someone who’s making programs/art/whatever as a hobby.
