Change Log: Okay trying something new before I loose my mind or whatever again. Aim is to make a hide a seek type game. There is a spider, she hides, you click, you find. What could go wrong? Haha *** Edit: Got the spider sprite “made” (edited) and scenes set up, but now my brain is just throwing me through daydream/mare after daydream/mare and I can’t pull myself out long enough to focus. So I think I’m done for today. Edit 2: Next day, I’m teaching myself about Lists. I’m guessing this was the kind of thing I needed for my Ghost game and I’m gonna be kicking myself about it. That or I’m wrong about Lists. Anyway I changed tasks before I got very far and now I’m out the flow of it, so I’ll be stopping here. I really hope I don’t do what I did a few months back where I loose steam and stop again, I want to keep up with something consistently, I don’t know why that’s so hard for me, I’m not sure if it used to be. Edit 3: I’m a contrarian to the core so because I’d said I’d stop I didn’t. I’ve managed to create a randomisation system for the scenes with a List, which means I should be able to delete a scene after it’s been used, hopefully. It’s a bit wonky ngl, can’t get the script to stop when I want but I can get it to a stop adding to the List so, it might be a problem later or maybe I can just leave it as is. The randomisation for the Spider’s position in the scenes itself is nothing fancy but is now done I think. I’m gonna test deleting scenes from the List, I have a nagging concern it’s not going to work. Edit 4: Okay so I does keep adding to the List, however it’s not unworkable, kinda sad I haven’t got it exactly as I would have liked yet (actually I just realised a way to fix that which I’ll probably try) but it keeps everything in the order of what was randomly chosen at the start, there’s no repeats to deal with. If I count the rounds and have it stop after those rounds then it doesn’t matter if the List is still full. Edit 5: Yeah I just fixed the randomiser, works a lot better now. That should make ending the game a lot easier too. Edit 6: It’s now possible to find the Spider and switch scenes. Now I need to work on the Spider’s appearance when hiding. Edit 7: The game is now technically playable because I added a button for my own convenience. All sounds are placeholders. Edit 8: Had to break for dinner, animation for finding the Spider in progress. Edit 9: Found animation done. Working on hiding movements next. Edit 10: Hiding animations for rocket & astronaut complete, rocket will need to be redone however, I’ll probably do that fix next or after the planet hiding animation is complete. I’d hoped to create a single movement pattern for all, but the smoothness way I can think to do it atm is by creating a unique one for each hiding spot, a bit inefficient, I don’t like that because I know there has to be a better way. Thinking about it there might be, I could try that, I’m taking break first though, I hurt physically, back pain :( Edit 10.5: Oh hey! Markiplier’s doing a livestream, amazing timing :D Edit 12: My idea worked, I now have a one size fits all hiding animation that’s also highly randomised. It’s not perfect but my word is it far more efficient, it does the job and it didn’t take for absolute ever to implement like the other way would have. Now I need to add proper end and start screens and after that’s it’ll be time to do the sound design. Edit 13: Title screen and End screen “art” added, I’m gonna make an instructions button maybe (I kinda like how it looks right now though). And then sounds but I’ll need charge this device first in order to do that. Having the charge port and headphone port be the same thing is both dumb and scummy of Apple, I hate it (And yeah I know Bluetooth head/earphones are thing, and I don’t care my opinion is unchanged). Edit 14: Added instruction button, and it doesn’t ruin the menu for me which is nice :) Edit 14.5: oh it’s nearly 5 AM…ah. Edit 14.(6?): I just realised spiders don’t have antlers. But she looks so cute! >:( Edit 15: I got rid of the antlers ;^; SHE WAS SO CUTE BEFORE ;_; Edit 16: 10 AM. Didn’t sleep, did stuff with other game “Bloop’s Halloween Night”, then moved on to this idk when. I tried my best what I could with the sounds, only have what Scratch offers, which ain’t bad by no means but I’m yet to master it I guess lol, idk know all the sounds in and out, where to find what I’m looking for. I’m rambling. Ew & Eh some combo of that together. I need to fix the loop system for the music but later, not now, too, brain mush, no words, gonna go. I hope. Edit 17: 20 minutes later and now you can mess with the Spider after winning. Why did I do this? Do I not like the Spider? Why I do but for you see…funny noise lol. I rest my case. Edit 18: I have coded in Spider compensation.
