Hi !
I'm actually doing my first game alone and i need your advices.
Here's my to do list to motivate me.
- I already have the graphic style of my game, it's a light & shadow platformer. (Here's the Prototype)
- The story's ok, i think.
Now i need to do all the rest...!
I'm very new on GS and the technical stuff is more dark than my game.
For now, i used the ToastKitten's movements, i need to do my own, i think it's a good beginning.
So, here's my first task :
- Static animation
- Go to the left + graphic animation
- Go to the right + graphic animation
- Jump + graphic animation
- Go to the left + Jump + graphic animation
- Go to the right + Jump + graphic animation
- Action + graphic animation
If i forget something, tell me please !
When it's ok, i'll post here the demo to have the community's feedback and... go to the next step.

I need to create a static animation for my character.
When no key's pressed, my character will have an animation.
I test left & right movements and add an "Animate" action in "Otherwise".
Don't work, but when i used a Change image, it's good.
For exemple :
No key's pressed : Character animated (eyes, for exemple)
Left pressed : Character animated to the left
Right pressed : Character animated to the right
I need to use "Animate" here for orientation of character.
Here's the file : http://gamesalad.com/game/play/93006
Any help please ?

In your player's Rules, when Static is true,
then your static animation
In both your sets of Rules which includes the key presses, set attribute Static to false.
Might need a bit of tweaking but hopefully it would work...
By the way, as you're using keys pressed, you're designing your game for the Mac only?
PS Like the moody, stylish graphics! A suggestion, maybe a flash of colour occassionally, to bring more interest? Just a thought. :-)

There will be colored by moment, like red light, green acid...!
I used pressed key for the moment, i test on a mac but it will be an iPhone game.
Hi,
I'm working on my movements and i have a question about that.
i have problems when I press several keys, like left & right at the same moment.
My animation sucks hard when i'm doing that.
My solution is like that with rules :
Left => down
Right => up
==> Do movement Left
==> Animation Left
Left => up
Right => down
==> Do movement Right
==> Animation Right
Left => up
Right => up
==> Do nothing
==> No animation
No problem, it's work correctly.
I need the same thing with my jump but it's difficult for me.
I need to do that :
Jump => up
==> Do movement to the top
==> Animation jump
Jump => up
Left => up
Right => down
==> Do movement to the top & right
==> Animation jump & right
Jump => up
Left => down
Right => up
==> Do movement to the top & left
==> Animation jump & left
Jump => up
Left => down
Right => down
==> Canceling direction, only jump
==> Animation jump
Actualy, when i Jump & push left key's, he jump to the left, but if i push Right when he's on the air, the movement's cool, but the animation... bug.
The problem is here :
Jump => up
Left => down
Right => up
-- On the air --
Right => down
==> Go to the left, then to the right
==> Animation fucked, damn it!
3 hours on that, 3 !!§!§§
I'm perfectionist, it's very difficult for me to move on if it's not good.
A brave guy to help me ?
5 hours... and many rules later..!!
Omg, i hate to be a GS noob.
Next step, create more beautiful animations.
My character turn left after push the box to the right, no problem in other direction...
1 hour, many tests, I don't understand...
(I need to use "animate" for later)
