    It works thanks a lot!

    There you go. I added a 3 life system (not sure how to display the lives you have), Texturised the rocks and it animates as it hits the earth. Not bad any more ideas before i buy the iphone package and publish it?

    ok:
    -really like meteors
    -change the way you show the points(the black background to the points isn't very appealing; maybe create a space rocket or something.)
    -make your background infinitely moving away from earth(towards left;) (ask tshirtbooth or QS how to do that because i only know that it is possible :D )
    -have a pause/play button. (when you pause spawn a button that gives the option to quit the game.)
    -keep on working on bonuses
    -as i said before try spawning different meteors at the same time. (you don't want people getting bored of the game.)
    -work on a time limit. people want to be able to win the game! say like: if you survive 2 minutes spawn a boss and if u beat him u have won :)

    Ok Thanks i will work on the Time thing and the pause thing. Don't have a clue on how to do anything else. =P Is there a book on game salad?

    Well i have done a better score display and a pause/play feature. =D working on a timer after 30 seconds it changes the image.
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    You know on my game you have 3 lives? How do i create actors or whatever to show you how many lives you have?
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    just create something like three stars and say
    on the 3rd strar:
    if attribute lives is < 3
    destroy actor

    on the second:
    if attribute lives is < 2
    destroy actor

    on the first
    if attribute lives is < 2
    destroy actor
    change scene to the "you have lost screen" :D

    Your game is coming along great!
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Alright ill do it now thanks.

    What attribute type does health have to be?
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    i usually use integer, u can use it for everything :)
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Done =) anything else?

    Im working on the changing astroids and bonuses and once i have done those doe you think i should spend the £120 to publish it?
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    I have done health as the + sign for now but ill get my friend to draw a space ship.
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    i think it still needs work to it.
    but think about it:
    you spend 120£ for a year.
    i, a 14 year old boy, have made 50£ in the past days with my new game!!! (and it took me about 10-15 days to make ; 1 hour a day) it got published 2 days ago!!
    how long have you been making this game for? 3-4 days? if u can make a game in 3-4 days think at what you can make in 1 year!
    it is totally worth it. every single pence!
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    you should add some bonuses now
    -alien spaceship as a boss.
    -some other stuff that you have to tap to get an extra life.
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Your 14? I thought you had to be 18? how did you do it because im 14 too? I got about a week or 2 to work on it maybe. Just need to get my friend to draw some rockets, planets, themes etc. "He's a bit of an artist" or whatever he says. All the rest like mini features and that time limit idea i could put in future updates to keep the user playing it.
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    :P lol
    yes , that is a good idea, keep it simple to start off the add the rest with the updates.
    if you need any help with anything just ask :)
    i had some problems to start off but then it all got easy.
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Ok thanks, I should get AIM is that what all of the developers use?
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914

    i'll go to watch a movie now.
    bye :)

    Who me and giacomopoppi or the astroids?
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    How about something like this as a mini game?

    http://gamesalad.com/game/play/28690

    any ideas for how the user could unlock the bonus mini game?
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    How do you do a rule for the accelerometer?

    The only ones that you can do is

    Mouse button
    Overlaps or Collides
    Key
    Mouse position
    Touch

    ?

    Thanks

    HI iDeveloperz,

    Couple of graphic tweaks you might want to look at:

    1. When you are on the front screen and click the play button to go the second screen the background moves a few pixels - Check your position of the actors on screen to make sure they are sitting at the same co-ordinates.

    2. Also I find the box around the score very odd, can you not import just the orange flash with a transparent background so it sits on the main background better?

    GOOD LUCK
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Ok ill work on that one now
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Done a little work but my game salad keeps on crashing. And it wont let me open it now. =[
  • giacomopoppigiacomopoppi Member, PRO Posts: 914
    the accelerometer can be edited here
    by doing
    when attribute device-accelerometer-x/y/z </> 0.1/2/3/4/5

    does your gs keep crashing?
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Yes it does a lot.
  • iDeveloperziDeveloperz Member Posts: 1,169
    Would you mind if i send you the project, tweaking it up a little?
