SO...?

Post by Student »

Hi everyone! I have a "small problem". I want to do a 2D-game where u could shoot and there would be enemies to shoot (and they would shoot at u too :D ). And of course u would have healthbar and when u get hit, u would lose health (and when health runs out, u would have 2 more lives left). If u can tell me what kind of code i would need for this, i could do rest of what it needs. And early thanks for help or that u have tried to help :D !
I just started coding and already i have made progress... And now it got stuck xD

You need types, integers and objects.

From Learning Center (press f8), see lessons" #11. Kartat 2" (= Maps 2), "#19. Painovoima" (= Gravity) and for bullets lesson "#18. Ammukset 2".

The comments are in finnish but you should be able to understand the code. If you don't know what a certain command does, double click it (or press f1) and the manual opens up. The explanations are in finnish but the comments in the examples are in english, so with patience you should be able to learn the code.

Here are a few commands and functions you should look up (see the example codes, they are in english):

Code: Select all

Repeat ... Forever ... Until    //Starts and ends a loop
DrawScreen                      //Draws the screen

SCREEN                          //Set screen size and type, aka. resolution.

For ... Next                    //For ... Next - loop.
While ... Wend                  //While ... Wend -loop

//For large information handling, like bullets, enemies etc.
Type ... End Type
Dim

//Objects... Very handy for beginners.
LoadObject()
CloneObject()
MoveObject
TranslateObject
PointObject

//Images
LoadImage()
DrawImage()

//Camera commands
MoveCamera
TranslateCamera

//Text commands
Text
AddText

//conditions.
If
Case

//See wiki for functions.
Function
If you don't have any experience in programming, see this wiki article about conditions: Conditional

The command DrawImage doesn't need brackets.
Komento DrawImage ei tarvitse sulkuja.

Problems-alue tuli ensimmäisenä vastaan eikä älynnyt sitten kelata alaspäin? Tai toivoi saavansa nopeammin vastauksen alueella, jota käyttävät kaikki?

Yes, you should. I think that there was a quite good answer for the original question so I do not see reason why not to lock this topic. The topic title is not acceptable and, as I said, you should speak English only in this area.
