I am planning on making a game which involves dropping things but when I tap on the screen to drop a meteor instead of dropping one it drops a continuous line. Is there any way to make just one meteor drop
function setup()
x=400
y=600
speedY=-7
end
-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
background(220, 174, 23, 255)
sprite("Tyrian Remastered:Boss A", 400, 300)
end
function touched (touch)
x=touch.x
y=touch.y
if touch.state == BEGAN then
function draw()
sprite("Space Art:Asteroid Large",x, y)
y=y+speedY
end
end
end
because you call the draw function once you touch the screen, don’t ever do this! you can’t exit the draw function! I know you’re here to learn, so please don’t see this as breaking your program down, but more like giving advice
this would be better
function setup()
x=400
y=600
speedY=-7
end
-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
background(220, 174, 23, 255)
sprite("Tyrian Remastered:Boss A", 400, 300)
end
function touched (touch)
x=touch.x
y=touch.y
end
--this is a function that gets called uppon touching the screen/moving your finger around
-- or when pulling finger off screen (the 3 states...)
function touched(touch)
if touch.state == BEGAN then
sprite("Space Art:Asteroid Large",x, y)
y=y+speedY
end
end
```
Tho this is not what you’re looking for, for it to drop a meteor, you need to make a class, that can create new objects, every time the screen gets touched, then you give that object physical properties, put all object in an array, and loop through them within the draw function
displayMode(FULLSCREEN)
function setup()
x=0
y=-50
speedY=-7
end
function draw()
background(220, 174, 23, 255)
sprite("Tyrian Remastered:Boss A", 400, 300)
if y>-50 then
sprite("Space Art:Asteroid Large",x, y)
y=y+speedY
end
end
function touched (touch)
if touch.state==BEGAN and y<0 then
x=touch.x
y=touch.y
end
end
