Topic: Programming / Clicking in the enterFrame

Thank you SalsaJoe13, that fixed my problem. :)

Topic: Programming / Clicking in the enterFrame

Hello Kongregate users. I am in the process of programming a simple shooter game and am in need of some help. I have a turret that fires when you move the mouse. Currently my code looks something like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     //Movement stuff goes here and such
}
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
      //Firing stuff
}

Now this is great and all, but I want to get the mouse down stuff into the enterFrame thing. If I do this then I can make it so the user doesn’t have to click to fire and then they can just hold down the mouse key.

Thank you, lacorp

NeoX: I couldn’t do it that way because then I couldn’t change the speed. I did it my way so that the speed increases as you gain more points.

3 lines? Are you insane? The blocks have to have code to calculate when to reverse speed and when to increase in speed. The normal code has to do more checks. That was way more than 3 lines.

is radius hitTest for ActionScript 2?

And I modified his tutorial a lot. I added a menu, object appearing, increasing difficulty, a practice room, a credit page, and the highest score reached.

Thank you for all of your help.

Topic: Programming / My First Game

I recently finished and posted my first game onto Kongregate. I was wondering if some of the other programmers here could give me some advice on it. http://www.kongregate.com/games/lacorp/poofy

Thank you, Lacorp

NOTE: I know that you can partially go through objects, that because it only check for collision at the middle of the circle player, this will be fixed in version 2.

Topic: Kongregate / Submitting A First Game

Of course its going to be my game. The reason I wanted to name it first game (or at least put it in parenthesis) is to only get other developers who want to help me and give advice. If I don’t I might end up with “DUDE!!! Lurn how 2 make games!” as most of the comments.

Topic: Kongregate / Submitting A First Game

Hello Kongregate users. I was wondering how the public responds to people posting their first games. I am new to Flash and was wondering if I could post my first game (i would title it “first game” of course) to get other, more experienced, flash developers opinions.

Sincerely, Lacorp
