I was wanting to make a game in the swish program but have no clue what im doing could someon please help me email me at lunawolves@hotmail.com

what kind of game?

Koro, I know your new so I'll warn ya. The moderators(People that run this place) frown upon posting the same topic in two places, as you also posted this problem in the lounge. Please just post it once in the most appropriate place you think(Don't worry, if your not sure, the mod's will move it if you post it in the wrong place)

Sorry my computer was messing up and i didnt realize it had posted in many places

I would like to make something simple such as pong for now so i can get use it

Koro, pong is definately not simple. I thought it would be, but when I made pong in flash 5, my fingers hurt from all of the actionscript coding....hehehehe. Now, if you want to make pong it Swish, you had better be very, very, very creative. Plus, you'll need a special plugin to do the hit tests. If this is your first game, I suggest a shoot 'em up type game, I'm sure there are plenty of people here with examples of those.

Hi Koro

Check out this (http://www.swish-tutorials.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=10550&hl=memory,and,game) thread, it is about a memory game.

That will give you an idea on how difficult making games in Swish really is.

kind regards
Tisse

ps: please refrain from double posting. This thread will do the trick ;)

Koro, This is in response to your PM. Do you own Flash? You can only do coding in Flash... Swish doesn't allow any coding. The only way people can get any coding into Swish is through small swf files called "plugins" that are written in Flash and loaded into Swish. I could probably write a plugin that would allow you to make a pong game in Swish, but that would be an incredible amount of work.

If you do own Flash, I suggest that you buy a book called "Actionscript for fun and games." It shows all of the code you need for pong and a bunch of other cool games as well.

If you don't own Flash, I think your out of luck with Pong. But hey, I've been wrong before. If you can make a pong game strickly in Swish, I'd be EXTREMELY impressed. Give it a shot.

hope that helps and good luck.

Thanx for all the help guys i can tell that it was a good idea to join with swish-tutorials.

No problem :) Good luck and be sure to show us what you can come up with.

The memory game only took a couple days to complete once the theory was sound in my head. Creating a pong game would be far more complex by leaps and bounds.

I'd like to see someone post a simple tic tac toe game. I still have no idea how to do that as simple as it might sound.

Jer, a game against the computer or against someone else? It is possible, by just doing....Ok say they click the top left corner, then send to the top_left sprite, with all the possibilities still there, if they then click on the middle sprite, withing the top_left sprite, go to middle sprite, then, if the click on bottom right sprite, send to winner. If they go to different places, just keep sending the person to different sprites till the 3 match up. The computer would be harder, but you can basically make the computer always put a(x or o) somewhere when they click on something.

Just making the tic tac toe game without a computer would be simple. I meant adding AI which since swish has no real AI I would have to create tell targets for each button.

Like: On press of top left corner this telsl that I have one possible unit out of 3 in both the left collum the left top to bottom right diagnol and the top row. I could then have it load in a whole new bunch of buttons that would have onpress commands relative to the upper left corner x and place an O accordingly. Again it seems far too complex to me to imagine.

However I have figured that there are realy only so many possible combinations of x's and o's and one could simply do every single possibility then upon pressing of said upper left corner an x appears and then jumps to a frame fitting this new scenario. If anyone cracks the tic tac toe game in swish 2.0 this is the method they will utilize.

Anyway, these are just my ideas. I am no authority on swish. I just know what I know. I would love to see someone create something complex and original and prove me wrong.

~Jer~

I would try, but just not enough time. I wouldn't think it would be that hard, because you only have 9 places for the computer to go, so whatever they click, send it to a action that isn't the one they clicked on, and when they go through the steps, if they still haven't stopped the computer, it will say the comp won.

Example: I click on top left, so i set 4 tell-targets. Once I make the computer's move(bottom right), the second I make it go to the frame for the x and the position sprite, and the third and fourth are going to go to two frames with removes for the invisible rectangle(the hit area). On their second move, if the click on the bottom middle, then I have the computer move to the middle right(trying to get three) with the removes and all..I unno, I think it would be verrrry complex with alot of combinations, but not impossible.

Well I look forward at some later date of seeing you explore this theory and put the game togethor. I'd love to see it. I cant imagine it though. Even reading your description sounds complex. Your description outlines two possible button combinations. You would need to do the same for every other combination and every obvious computer choice unless you just intend to have the computer opponent place a random move..............................frankly I would only be interested in persuing this if the computer wins or ties every game as would be the case in real life.

Maybe someday I will, it will be very complex though. Summer is coming up and I will be out of school, but I am going to be a freshman and have soccer practice and stuff, but maybe I can explore that this summer, it would be a fun experiment.
