  @Rex9000 You should have a look at Dave and Ben's Tutorial, here they talk about the array basics. And these are the other vids, https://fuzearena.com/forum/category/6/tutorials . Even if you know one of the topics already - they are really entertaining.

  @Dave said in 2 player setup?: Just means we don't end up with: p1aPress = false p1bPress = false p1xPress = false p1yPress = false p2aPress = false etc etc. this would make me want to scoop my own eyes out

  @waldron said in enemy's death condition/animation: Oh I get it same as you would set states for your character you do the same for the enemy and code the actions in Yeah absolutely! There's no reason why not right?! ;) @lawyerlounge said in enemy's death condition/animation: So then jumping left would return 20? Yeah, that's it! And you test the condition with e.g. if game.willy.state == LEFT | JUMP then // Willy is jumping left. endif

  I'm going to need something like this in the future for the Hookshot in my Zelda game so I'll work on it as soon as I can get around to figuring out this coding stuff a little better.

  You can actually shorten some of that code down. Here's an example of your shift function reduced... function shift( a ) return a[ 1 : ] What that does is grabs the entirety of the array beginning at the second position (because of base 0), and returns that. Your pop and resize functions can benefit from this as well. Not actually sure if this is meant to be done this way, as this technique has been used for manipulating strings in groups since we can access them like an array (refer to my post in the Hints and Tips thread). However, unlike strings where we can append strings together, we can't with arrays, so functions you have like slice and delete could grab the first portion of the array in one go, but the second part will have to be filled in one element at a time. With that said, it would be nice to have built-in functionality of these.

  Interesting and definitely could do with improvements. At the very least if we could copy and paste between images it might solve the problem. We'll have a look at this.

  @spikey No problem. We need to get your feedback in order to make Fuze better. I will investigate this one

  Well, no - you can cover an entire wall but it won't stop your sprite from moving into the wall by itself. You need to do that bit. I may not be explaining myself very well and I'm not at my Switch at the moment. One of the included sample programs on collision maps shows what I mean very well.

  I love a nice splash/ title screen :) Here's a template I've been using for structure ... (noting that I tend to use a global struct called "game" to hold everything relating to the game/ layouts/ images/ variables/ etc); bool show_debug = false struct game bool active int frame_count // Everything else ... endstruct game game game.active = false game.frame_count = 0 old_c = 0 old_x = 0 old_y = 0 loop if !game.active then show_splash() endif initialise_variables() while game.active loop game_loop() repeat // If lives aren't zero then the game was quit prematurely. if game.lives == 0 then game_over() endif repeat /** * Displays the title "pre-game" page. */ function show_splash() while !game.active loop clear() // Display stuff! c = controls(0) // Test if we should start a game (by any button). if old_c and !(c.a or c.b or c.x or c.y) then game.active = true endif old_c = c.a or c.b or c.x or c.y update() repeat return void /** * New game has been started; reset variables. */ function initialise_variables() // Sets up a new game; set lives, stuff, etc, etc... return void /** * The main game loop! */ function game_loop() // Initial entry point for a new game OR // when a life is lost OR // when a new maze/ room/ whatever is entered. // Prevent the initialisation above from running every frame. rebuild = false while !rebuild and game.active loop clear() // GAME ON! c = controls(0) if c.x then show_debug = true endif if old_x and !c.x then show_debug = false endif // "Y" can also start a game, so add debounce. if old_y and !c.y then game.active = false endif old_x = c.x old_y = c.y if show_debug then show_debug(buffer) // Maze buffer/ room buffer/ whatever. endif update() game.frame_count += 1 repeat return void

  @pianofire said in Map Collision woes: @Zero-Division Afraid not. This is currently just a feature of the sprite engine. I suppose you could use a sprite to hold your global variables!. I am not sure on the limits of it either: whether it is just simple types or arrays/structs. I will have to check. I suppose the way to do what I want is to use a struct then. It can be very powerful to associate arbitrary properties to arbitrary objects, though. Combined with lambdas, we'd get to OOP pretty fast this way.

  How to change the rotation point of a shape

  If somebody really wants to stick with shapes (because of image quality when scaling, maybe?) I did a function to transform coordinates around the origin point {0,0} and a function to apply the rotation and location of the origin shape to any other shapes. With this two functions you can visually attach a shape to another and let it rotate together around the center of the main shape with one call like this: shape_cannon = addRotationAndLocationFromShape( shape_base_cannon, shape_body) drawShape(shape_cannon) drawShape(shape_body)

  If you're just wanting to see if that shape has reached a box, an if statement will work too: if circY + radius > boxY + boxHeight and circX + radius > boxX and circX + radius < boxX + boxWidth then // do your collision stuff endif This is dependent on where the origin point for your shapes are. If you're using the box() function, this top left. The drawShape() functions used in the "Fun With Shapes" demo pointed out by @pianofire allow you to do all sorts of awesome things with shapes with ease. Well worth checking out! Some of the help pages for those functions are missing examples, but they're coming in a future update!

  Thanks for creating this topic. I thought we could only use the tilesets created by other users, I couldn't figure out how to turn my assets into tiles for the map editor.

  Please see this announcement: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/442/issue-with-shares Unfortunately this is still an ongoing issue.If you leave it long enough it will timeout and say "No Connection" but it's quicker to go to the home screen and close Fuze.
