I've been making a simple yet addictive game for the past few days. The objective is to guide a spaceship without crashing into the blocks. The score is "custom font" and took awhile to figure out. It also shows your highest score you have gotten (doen't work when you leave the game as there is no saving). The artwork is a draft as I was concentrating on the game mechanics so they will be improved soon. Heres a link...

Very nice! I like the score font too, how did you create that?

what's cookin,

howdy purist. i'm sure you'll get a lot of requests, myself included, for your secret custom font recipe. that will definately add a lot in terms of style to individual games...hint, hint new feature headchef's.

welcome to the kitchen, noodles...

CodeMonkey

I'm guessing its just a bunch of %(mod), division, and floor functions to get the individual digits, and then change image based on that value. at least one image per number.

hey codemonkey, any chance you could let us mere mortal, math-unfriendly, novice chefs in on this method?

Ok basically I created an actor called 1. I made a change attribute inside that actor to change the score +1 and put it in a timer which is repeats every 0.1 seconds Then i created a global real attribute called 1. Then I made a rule which is in Pic 1.

Then I created 9 more rules like it as seen in the rest of the screenshots.

The last one resets the score so it is in a continues loop.

I will post more on this soon as I haven't said how you stop it ect...
