Two player game..?

kobayaashi

Hi guys! I have a question (and please forgive me if the answer is obvious!) : is it possible to allow for two players to play on the screen using touch to drag actors (think 2-player tennis) and, if so, could you direct me to some info which would help me (Cookbook, tutorials, etc)?

Thanks in advance...

SharkApps

Yes it is possible.


Here is how to use touch controls. Just make separate touch controls for either side of the device.

Yes, as Shark already said.

However, just as a note for the future, if you wanted to know, you cannot do online multiplayer at this time.

Check out my game Road Wars HD - it's for two players

...or would it only be possible if I were to use buttons to control the actors rather than touch? I'm just wondering as to whether two separate touches on the screen in different locations might be a little confusing..?

Hi guys - thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated...

Thanks, will check it out. Have managed to set mine up for 2 x players now, and am ploughing ahead, but thanks to you all for getting back to me.

Is it possible to use GameSalad to make a two-person game with a buzzer, kind of like Jeopardy, in which the first person who buzzes in gets to answer a question?

All kinds of games are possible basically it's only limited by your imagination and knowledge of the software.

Yeah, "famous last words", etc.... Thought I had things sorted, til I sent an ad hoc to my iPad, and found that while both touch-driven paddles worked separately (which was all I could test on the desktop), on the iPad only one player could control their paddle at any time. Not quite back to the drawing board, but I need to locate a few more examples of two-player touch controls to make this right. If anybody knows of a suitable resource, I'd be most grateful. In the meantime I'll be trawling posts, YouTube and the cookbook!

Gotta say - while my brain has occasionally melted out through my nose over the past couple of months, I'm really enjoying my GS experience!

Yeah, as FBS said anything is possible, really. But you can mark off your list 3D and online gaming at this time.
