2min Countdown Custom Font - demo

Stormtrix

Hey all,
Well after racking my brain allll day, i've come up with this which works but not sure if it's
an overkill in code only uses 1 10sec timer.
I know you can change the the attributes around to make a 3,4 or 5min timer but didn't add all of that in. Just the 2 min since my brain hurts and i got no real world work done today.. hehe

Basically was going for a look like in Veg. Samurai instead of a basic font.
enjoy.

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel good to get something working?

I hope I didn't muddy the waters too much for you. When I tried to write the explanation the first time around (the one that I wanted to erase), I was pretty tired and wasn't too coherent. I knew what I wanted to write but I couldn't find the right words to write it.

You're right, though: it is a bit rule heavy. You will want to avoid that or it might interfere with the rest of your game. And, there's the bit at the beginning where it starts off at "1:50"

However, I liked the way you tackled the problem yourself. There's something to be said for just jumping in -- it allows you to get familiar with how GameSalad works and there's a lot that you can learn from just playing around with the behaviours and seeing how everything comes together. Good job!

Thanks Jack, it does feel great to have it working.. the rules seem to work fine on my iphone4
did make the change to have it start at 1:59 as well.

You definitely learn a lot by trial and error and really paying attention to the demo's on the site down my tshirt, fmg, orbs, and others.. they're a big help!

now the only thing between me and apple for submitting is figuring out why my darn high score list isn't working.. hehehe.. really believe i have everything right but the display text isn't doing the carriage return for each score.. like game.hscore1.."\r"..game.hscore2.."\r"..game.hscore3 just isn't making it display as 3 lines.

ugh..
