    Not bad. Is the level randomly generated?
  • SparkyidrSparkyidr Member Posts: 2,033
    ....sort of

    I have 3 platform actors, that once they are offscreen get recycled to a new random Y position, and also one of 4 different widths.

    I've also done a little bit of maths, using an offset calculated from the platform's current width, to make the gaps between the platforms a little bit random too.

    I'm turning it into a game at the mo.
    free with Iads.

    Once I've got that finished(almost there), will go though and tidy things up, get rid of all the un-needed crap, and sort out a template for "da-scene". etc

    Looks brilliant...love the parallax scrolling on the background...the star trail...etc...

    The music at the beginning is very errrr... FANTASTIC

    I still play Canabalt...its a beautiful looking game... robots, birds flying off etc etc...

    Robot unicorn but only without the challenge? It looks like your off to a good start but you'll need to add obstacles or something.

    Yeah. I've got spikes to jump over now, and also a bad guy that appears every now and again. Might add some way to kill him, or just keep it simple and have you jump him.
    Getting there.
