I NEED HELP (pls)

@Killer.Jo - could you outline , in words not code, how your project game works. What are the characters in it , how do they interact and how does the player win or lose. Do you want to use the built in graphics or do you have your own?

We can probably point you in the right direction then.

Killer.Jo · May 27, 2023, 10:35pm

@Bri_G To start there is a button because you can click and if you click on it you have to decide between 3 boxes which you choose. The lower one is the right one. Then the same again. Now you come to the main menu. Unfortunately, I only coded one button on the main menu. Not the Iceland button. If you click on it (the button) you come to his farm (Iceland) and I want to do later that you can plant things there and earn coins with it. You should then farm the soil and so again and farm more coins for more things. If you need more information, just tell me

@Killer.Jo After reading what you wrote for @Bri_G, you have a lot of work to do. You need to get one thing working right before you add more things. The more things you add, the harder it is to figure out what’s not working right.

Killer.Jo · May 28, 2023, 10:09am

@dave1707 Ok. But what should I do now? I think I find the problem now…

Now that you have it doing what you want, make changes to the existing code to make it do even more. Once you get the current code how you want, you can add new code a little at a time.

Killer.Jo · May 28, 2023, 1:48pm

@dave1707 Okay, today I’ll start with a new code. So actually I wanted to make a game with the code I showed you that I want to publish (first of all on play store because it is cheaper to publish a game and if I am so halfway famous I will also publish it on the app store) I will of course continue the game as I wrote to you. But I want to deal with animations now. I will probably need a lot of help, but I sometimes also do it with the Bing AI (programming but the Bing AI has never really helped me, only you actually)

Edit: I think I’ll do something else (much too heavy )

        fill(77, 255, 0)
        text("Stone", 250, 700)

I thought with this code (which is of course from me) that it is very very small but 70 lines are actually normal. (No one is interested anyway)

I actually wanted to make a back button at the very end of the code that makes you come back to the start menu but that didn’t work out for whatever reason would be very nice if one of you can do it so unfortunately I can’t do it.

I changed the code but when you open a menu and then go out again (my problem was that when you clicked on the back button that you don’t return to the main menu) that if you click again you come back to the same menu

Killer.Jo · June 2, 2023, 12:19pm

@Bri_G @dave1707 Uh, somehow none of you answer

dave1707 · June 2, 2023, 12:33pm

@Killer.Jo You seem to be doing OK. You know how to do the buttons and screens so you don’t need us to do it for you. Just keep it small until you fully understand what you’re doing.

Bri_G · June 2, 2023, 6:51pm

@Killer.Jo - just looking at your code, will respond when I have played a little with it.

Killer.Jo · June 2, 2023, 7:46pm

@Bri_G Okay, I’ll wait. In the meantime, I’m making an app with math.random because I’m interested

Killer.Jo · June 2, 2023, 8:51pm

@Bri_G @dave1707
Here the „math.random“ code


-- math random is randomly cool

function setup()
    Mystery = math.random(1, 100)
    BGcolor = color(255, 0, 195)
end

function draw()
    background(255)
    text(Mystery, 550, 300)
    sprite(asset.builtin.Blocks.Redstone, 550, 500)

    if CurrentTouch.state == ENDED then
        random=true
    end
    if random then
    if Mystery < 10 then
            background(BGcolor)
            sprite(asset.builtin.Blocks.Stone_Coal_Alt, 550, 500)
        end
    
    if Mystery > 10 then
            background(BGcolor)
            sprite(asset.builtin.Planet_Cute.Enemy_Bug, 550, 500)
        end
        
        if Mystery > 30 then
            background(BGcolor)
            sprite(asset.builtin.Planet_Cute.Gem_Orange, 550, 500)
        end
        
        if Mystery > 50 then
            background(BGcolor)
            sprite(asset.builtin.Planet_Cute.Gem_Blue, 550, 500)
    end
    end
    
end

dave1707 · June 2, 2023, 10:06pm

@Killer.Jo That’s the way to do it. Try different small things to see what they do. Eventually you’ll have enough that you can combine them into larger programs.
