help with simple labyrinth game

fritzdc

Greetings All,

I am just getting started with GS and like what I have experienced so far but have bumped up a bit of an issue. I am sure it is extremely simple to resolve but just need a bit of help.

I have created a extremely simple labyrinth game with a single hole and no "maze". I can tilt my iPad and get the actor to behave as expected but once he reaches the edge of the screen he does not stop but instead returns on the other side. I know that I could create 4 more actors that could be made into "barriers" at the edges of the screen but figure there must be a better way. Is there?

Thanks

Well, If it is reappearing on the other side of the screen, in screen attributes, uncheck WrapX & Wrap Y

Duh... I'm embarrassed, but thanks.

RedlerTech

no problem, nothing to be embarrassed about

But if you don't have barrier walls using collide (or otherwise constrain the actor's X and/or Y to the limits of the screen) the actor will just pass off (or fall off) the screen when it reaches the edge.

If you don't want the ball to go off-screen, you need to have walls for it to collide with or constrain its movement.

Id just constrain the actor to minimum & maximum Y & X positions as dotsonj23 mentioned
