So this is a project that I worked on for three weeks and had quite a few pains involved, but it's finished. This project was made so you can quickly make basic platformer base games without much hassle IF you read the intructions well. There have been game makers before but this goes several levels deeper than the most of them. Instead of just three blocks, a character, and an beginning and end block: I took it a step further and added different features: ------------------------------------------------------- * 20 building blocks total (this includes the 3 interactive item types, and the beginning and end block.) * All building blocks are manipulated using the snap to grid script. * Dying is obviously supported. * 3 Items can be placed that are actually interactive when you play your game and they are: the chest, the spike, and the door (there are different colored doors with different colored corresponding keys.) * This project supports saving and loading the maps you've made IF you download the project. The instructions on how to do this are in the 'Save Map' and 'Play Map' buttons at the main menu. * Very good character physics. ------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS on making a map: Use arrow keys to change the block type. Click to place your current block. Press the "Space" key to stop the building block from following your mouse and eliminate speech bubbles that are emitted from chests in phase 2. Press the "P" key to pause your game. From here there are two buttons: The Main Menu button and the Next Phase button. There are two phases to making a game. The first phase is simply placing your blocks on the grid. The second is when you edit what's in your chests and place the keys for your doors. If you're done with phase 2 press "P" again and click the finish button. It will then load your map (this can take anywhere from 10 - 30 sec) and it will place your character where you placed the beginning block. To edit the chest contents click on a chest and use the arrows keys to select what you want. To place keys for your doors, click on a door and its key will appear. Click to place the key and voila. If you're done with phase 2 press "P" again and click the finish button. It will then load your map (this can take anywhere from 10 - 30 sec) and it will place your character where you placed the beginning block. And now you can start playing. Have fun! ------------------------------------------------------- Glitches/Problems: This is a large project. As a result there are going to be glitches and they can be hard or even impossible to fix (without changing the projects whole structure) If you run into one please comment about so that I can try to fix it. I'm sorry but there are annoyances to this project. Like using the arrow keys to change the building block can be a pain. I'm sure there's more so comment on annoyances to. ------------------------------------------------------- Known/Suspected Glitches: * None (but that will soon change)
