Help on a endless game!

SilverAlmighty

Hi there.

I've been working with the gamesalad engine for some time now, but I wouldn't call myself a pro at in any way. Im in desperate need of help on how to create an endless runner, I watched JamieCross' tutorial, however I'm looking for a way to make a game more like Jetpack joyride, where I have more control over how I generate the landscape. If someone would help me out with this that would be great! Thanks for reading.

@SilverAlmighty, in that tutorial I have the main platform spawn itself over and over to make the endless. In your case, you want different platforms and backgrounds you could use exactly the same method BUT instead of having one platform spawn copies of itself you could set up (for example) 4 platforms (A, B, C and D).

Start by spawning platform A then have platform A spawn Platform B, Platform B spawns Platform C, Platform C then spawns Platform D and so on. So instead of spawning the same platform over and over, you spawn different platforms from each previous platform. That way you can control your platforms and backgrounds as you see fit.

@jamie_c‌ Thanks for the help! While it wasn't the exact thing I was looking for, it really helped me getting pointed in the direction of the correct algorithm! Truly thank you.
