I was using GM for a month and I made one game. Then I stopped for a year and now I'm using it again. I'm still in learning phase so I don't know how to work in 3D, but since you're using GM Lite you couldn't even if you want to. I work in GML so if you need some help, you can ask me some stuff. You're using drag&drop? Try using horizontal/vertical speed instead of move fixed option. That will make your motion smooth. Feel free to ask anything but don't forget that I'm still learning.

Using the motion tool should be no different than adjusting it's coordinates. All the motion thing is, is really a built in "class" (if GM had classes, it would be one) that adjusts co-ordinates every fram based on the set variables speed and direction. Ever since I started using GML instead of the drag-and-drpo (so pretty everything exept half of a game) I've just manually changed co-ordinates every frame based on my own _speed and _direction variables.EdoI wrote:I was using GM for a month and I made one game.

*sigh& GM would be so much awesommer if it supported classes and objects. Instead you have to use only static functions and pass pointers to them. Actually, you just past integers to them that have nothign to do with memory locations. Oh well, I guess it IS a learning language, not a high-level OOP language. Too bad it's not both :D (though it does pretty well)
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related

(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)
NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

Few pixels around the (every) mine is little lighter than the background of your game. You know, there is a 'Transparent' checkbox. It shall be turned on. That way any pixel that is like the first pixel(that is left-down) won't be visible.

I would have taken this in the direction of a puzzle. Mines shouldn't kill drones, however, normal doors, locked and trap doors should impede the drone, making it harder to catch/kill the ninja.everythingfromatoz wrote:I know. But what else is there?

The bottom-left pixel must be the same colour as the background. This is how it determines what the background is. Also the background must be ONE solid fill, not a jpeg'd textury semi-solid colour.everythingfromatoz wrote:Yea, the transparency wasn't working.

Another possible cause is that it MIGHT not allow transparency in the free versino if that's what you;re using.

the game would be hard enough even without mines, you could record variying levels of speed for the ninja
and you should also change the drone's picture cuz normal drones don't do this
i have used gamemaker and made a basic maze game...

I've worked with this program for about a day, so I can't be too helpful, but...
I'm pretty sure that there's a command that changes a sprites animation frame, so you could use that to rotate the eye, each sprite frame having a different direction.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

You know, this is actually pretty cool. Well done.
For constructive criticism... diagonal movement, and no stop-start movement would be great. Also, maybe restart the demo level as opposed to having a message box, because then it doesn't allow movement and all sorts of things happen.
Also, bit pixel-y, an it would be cool if the drone turned depending on which way you were going (and he can't really be homing, can he?).
