Neat...

... and I especially like this aspect.

Thanks, guys. Someone asked how to do it so I obliged. And as for working in 12.20, it was an absolute pleasure.

Reverting to 12.20 was like a breath of fresh air.

Wow, as a n00bie, this thread is a-mazing! Thank you to everyone that contributes!

Count Rotations

This was asked for here.

I'm sure it could be improved upon but for now it uses a range of mod(self.Rotation,360) values to determine when an actor has rotated a full 360°.

ETGgames

A game I started then just gave up....but some really useful code. Get a line to spawn through two touches. Obviously you can make the change attribute behaviours into constrain, and you can easily constrain the length to the line to the distance between the two touches.

Here is a demo on the use of magnitude. It might help some visualize what magnitude is actually doing, and how it can be used.

Also contains a few variations I don't see commonly used on GS forums for creating oblong, skewed, and non omni-directional magnitude radiuses.

Sorry if it doesn't all make sense, I'm not the best at explaining things.

Just start on the first scene and use the double arrows to continue.

Pretty cool effect - based off of orbz's drawing template

I'm sure this can be improved upon but here's my solution to the question proposed at http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/85549/trying-to-figure-out-some-math/p1.

Thanks. I think that's solved it. I'll try and let you know. Thanks.

Arrow keys to move. Does not include a lose condition (e.g. head collides with body).

Here's an inventory project kind of template thingy I've been working on.
Has a shop, inventory, and key items.

@Summation very nice! Thanks for sharing it.

Found these floating clouds while looking for something else, they're a bit cheap and cheesy ! But might be useful to someone starting out.

Dropping in my method of moving actors with overscan. No unlocking actors or any extra game attributes needed.

@Lovejoy That´s a nice little trick. Thanks for sharing.

A good method for better screenshakes. Enjoy!

Someone mentioned that this should go in the spare code thread, so I'm putting it here too.

I've created a sample daily reward template to demonstrate the process. I have a saves table that has a column for month/day/year. I pull the values out of the table and then compare them to the current month/day/year and if it's not equal, I set the game attribute game.reward to true, otherwise it's false. Then I change scenes and show a message based on the reward boolean with a button to go back to the beginning, where it should show you the new date in the table.

You can get the template here:

Lots of great codes snippets here, does anyone know or have a code that expands or makes image/actor popup for a set amount of time? I am creating a different matching pairs game and I cannot get the images once selected to pop up without affecting the game play. Any help would be appreciated.

Pipe/Maze Thingy

This shows how to test if an actor is staying inside the pipe or within the walls of a maze. It uses some sensors to see if there is any part that of the actor that has gone too far.

Armelline

Detect the edge of a circle

Uses magnitude to notify an actor when it has reached the edge of a circle. Made very quickly to demonstrate to someone that what @tatiang told them to do was right.

Top-down Rain

A top-down view rain effect. Uses a method very similar to the one someone (I think @Socks?) posted for a starfield. Needs some fine-tuning but is a passable effect.
