2D game

[Synook]

Err... what is "the gfx" and "classic lines"?

[Html]

Not straight lines like that example of the shapes.Similar to old classic games.

[Synook]

Using what engine? With canvas you have to begin a path, then move the caret from the start of your line to the end

context.beginPath();context.moveTo(0,0); //Move the caret to (0,0) as the beginning of the linecontext.lineTo(100,100); //Draw a line to (100,100)

[Html]

A triangle ?

[Synook]

You'll need to calculate the co-ordinates. I would draw the bottom line first, and remember it will be (length * the square root of 3) units tall.

function drawTriangle(context, x, y, width, filled) {	context.beginPath();	var height = Math.floor(width * Math.sqrt(3))	context.moveTo(x,y+height);	context.lineTo(x+width, y+height);	context.lineTo(x+Math.floor(width / 2), y);	if (filled) context.fill();	else {		context.closePath();		context.stroke();	}}

hehe.. ofcourse it can help in making a game... ofcourse it can.... i know it can.. i have a game plan too.... hehehehehehe... Yes it can help make a game! Hehe...

Err ok...

Here is a Mastermind game I made in JavaScript.

[Synook]

Apparently I need to log in to view that page

[programmer-in-training]

Sorry, I forgot. Here it is.

Sorry, it works now. I forgot that file names are case sensitive on the internet.

That's a cool game :)Though I can't say my chances of winning were too attractive at 0.07716049382716049% lolI like the fact that you can get the info by clicking the buttons on the left

[programmer-in-training]

0.07716049382716049% is the chance of winning with one completely random guess. Do you think I should take that part out?

[Synook]

Well its sort of discouraging but with a bit more information I suppose it will be fine.

[Html]

How would you make a shape move towards another shape or line even and it destroys itself ? With some lines as an effect ?

[Ingolme]

Well, you'll have to give each of the objects a defined position (X and Y).Then you have to make an algorhithm that tells the program that while the object's X is greater than the other object's X, keep subtracting 1 pixel to the X value, while the object's X is less than the other object's X, keep adding 1 pixel to the X value. Do the same with the Y values. As for detecting collision, it's a little complicated. The simplest way, would be to say that when the X position of the object is equal to the X position of the other object AND the Y position of the object is equal to the Y position of the other object, then they have collided. Of course, this means that they'll only actually "collide" once they're inside eachother. A more complex collision test is hard to explain, but try to visualize it in your head and come up wtih the solution yourself.

[Html]

Well, it would be like a black hole or gravity field ?I hardly know any js.

[Ingolme]

Well, nobody's going to make all the code for you. You should learn Javascript if you're planning to make a game.

[Html]

I'm in the middle here. I have vb.net , js, python and possibly flash.I wanted to make a game for a pocket pc. Js was just a last look ..

[justsomeguy]

If you're going for mobile browsers then Flash will give you more reliable performance than Javascript.

[Html]

Js doesn't work on pocket pcs yet.As for flash would that work how?on a web page for a mobile device no exe

[justsomeguy]

There is a Flash player browser plugin for pocket PC. Yes, you would embed the Flash movie on a web page like normal.

[Synook]

Flash is also much faster than JS.

[Html]

Why is that Synook?
