I agree that it's a shame that clones have taken over the Top 100 charts (it makes the charts boring and takes a spot from other more deserving games), yet I also understand why that is the case. I gu

I sure hope it's true that Apple is cracking down on this stuff. I don't think appreview.me is the real issue. It's the people spending $20k to get their apps to the top of the charts. I actually do

My biggest concern was availability of software in a Mac version. To get around that I use Parallels Desktop (Virtual Machine) to run Win7 and it works great. I now have the best of both worlds.

I normally check out Top Stolen, Top $15 template ripoffs and Toppy Bird.

I'm wondering something; when each of you look at the top charts to see your competitors, are you looking at Top Free, Top Paid, or Top Grossing?

Destroy

It's almost as if the rules governing the detection of the top of the enemy, or the bottom of the player just stop working. It doesn't really make sense. Especially since they work on level 1 and 2.

Destroy

* when actor collides with main character, destroy actor, change attribute spawn coin to false, add 1 to score

After the main character collides with the coin actor, I want it to destroy that coin actor, but spawn a new one at a different random location at the same time, how do I do that?

I use the bullet destroy border as well.

If the bullets x or y is greater or less than the screen width/height plus the cameras origin (accessible from an unlocked actor). Destroy bullet or move it off the side of screen till its required in

Put an invisible stationary actor around the border areas of your game. If bullet hits it, destroy bullet.
