Topic, Game "Path 4 Mouse (old)"

  Hey, I think this gonna be a great game, I really hope it will be up soon :D
Good luck

  Hey guys, I'm updating the news feed again via Twitter. If you haven't done so already, you can subscribe with your favourite feed reader, or just check the little gif in the description to see what's up!


@marc Yes, but I would have to do a bit more than that. What if somebody typed a number as their text?
[edit] Also, I'm not using tile frames any more. Each tile has it's own MC.

  gecko, just popping in again, I can help with that!
instead of the tile using a number to pick the tile, first check if it is a number with !isNaN(value)
if this returns false set the tile to text and set the value to whatever value is, if it's true then set the tile frame to that number

  @pupatron3000: Yep, you have a better chance of being a tester in a game if you ask early on!
@demonicyoshi: Nice idea, I will try to implement it.

  Hmm, I have thought about being a tester, but I think there are enough testers already on this game. Mabye I should ask to be one when a game in testing comes up.

  I got an ideas for a new tile:

Info tiles
when your mouse is over them text is displayed (like tvs in cdvzp)

  Look here :D:

edit: Wrong topic, sorry, this should be in the MoonLights topic. I thougt P4M is Game NR. 24.

  Sorry for being a bit quiet recently, I was on a course for the last week, and I'm quite busy at the moment.

I'll find a bit of time to work on the game, but I've got a few higher-priority things to do right now.

  I want to be a tester to, Kirrock75

  I wish i was a Tester... :(

  probably, just depends if gecko has a longer attention span than me XD

  Will this be done soon?

  I know of 3 bugs:
1. ice doesnt reform(I think)
2. hiding the tiles still shows the glow(if its code generated maybe check hidden status first, or move the hide mc above the generated one?)
3. that cheating method I mentioned
[edit] also had a brilliant idea:
flame jets with alves around the level! might be a bit hard with all those pipes :P

  Yes! Checkpoints look good and great news! (I know how the checkpoints look, because my newest favorite levels....)

PS, i made the Thumbnail as tile on tilemachine.com/gallery :

  checkpoints look definaly better!

  Looks very good

  Awesome news Gecko :D!

  For once, I might actually say yes! I'm pretty confident that I'm going to finish this game soon. Progress is good, and the game is already of decent quality, even though it is not finished yet.

  Is this game gona soon be finish?

  Okay guys, what do you think about the look of the current checkpoints?

  Maybe I should make the checkpoints pale yellow, with a pale green circle in the middle if they are activated and pale red one if they are not.
I need to fix up the fake wall tiles - they are far too obvious now because of the glow around the wall edges.

  Yes the color changes, but it's not a plain green

  The checkpoints don't seem to turn green, or that, or the difference is hard to see.

  anti-cheat idea: scan x and y movement, if over 20(tile size) scan the line made when joining the start and end points of the mouse for tile obstrutions
[edit] important for levels like Getting thin (Path 4 Mouse (old)) where you can leave game swf

  Nice geckojsc! And do you like my idea gecko?

  I think the checkpoints are working! It's the pale yellow tile. They turn green when you move over them, and you can only finish the level if they are all green. Try it!

  ive done that on one of my mouse avoiders ^^

  I have a suggestion geckojsc: Laser, laser kan kill the Mouse, can only get off when hitting the button to it.

  Meh, I just ask to be a tester at the weirdest times, it seems to work. xP

  no no no that's not the way to be a tester PureThelion Geckojsc must ask it
