New to Gamesalad and need help with making game!

steveven

Hi All,

I am new to this platform and want to make a game similar to one like this.

The problem is, I don't know where to start.

1) How do i set it so that my actor (character) moves to only one tile?
2) How do i have a tile get destroyed after leaving a tile?
3) How do i stack tiles?

If anyone can help point me to a direction, It would be great!
I spent several hours trying to find a tutorial or template similar to what I want but could not find anything sadly.

I hope to hear from someone soon. Anything helps!

Hi @steveven‌ and welcome to the forums!

Since isometric games a quite complicated, I would advice you to start with a more simple project to get you started with GameSalad.

Start of with reading the cookbook:

And watch some videos:

Also be sure to check the logic series by @The_Gamesalad_Guru‌

Work your way through those things and learn the basics of GS. You will learn alot more doing this then jumping straight into a difficult project.

When you have a problem, feel free to ask here. People are very willing to help you out.

@Dues‌,

Thank you for your advice! I've actually checked all of those out already and have made a flappy bird, a shooter, and a 2d platform game all under this program.

I will check out the links you gave me as I learn more about GS's fundamentals!

On a sidenote, I was wondering if you knew how to resolve one of my issues for the flappy bird clone i made.

Here is the very rough demo that i uploaded just to show you what the problem is.
If you play it, the collision of the actors is not consistent. The bee can sometimes go straight past the bottom pencils. Do you know why or how?

Thanks so much for being the first person to reply! (:
