Game Suggestion

sawyer797

I have recently working on this game called Dino Dash. In this game you play as a dinosaur who must eat everyone he sees. If you miss a person the game is over. What should I add? What should I change? Sorry about the sprites. I used custom sprites and so they do not line up right. Please leave a comment. Here is my code:

function setup()
b1x=-100 --x of first person
b1y=200 --y of first person

b2x=-100 --x of second person
b2y=150 --y of second person

b3x=-100 --x of third person
b3y=50 --y of third person

lx=-100
ly=150

l2x=-300
l2y=150

l3x=-500
l3y=150

l4x=-700
l4y=150

l5x=-900
l5y=150

l6x=-1100
l6y=150 --^^^^^^^ these are the variables for the road marks

score=0 --the score

t=0 --the speed of animation movement

x2=500 --tap to start text x
y2=500 --tap to start text y

rsx=-100 --x of rocket ship
rsy=100 --y of rocket ship
end
function draw()

    r=math.random(-200, 200) --the random math for random people

    sy=CurrentTouch.y - 100 --setting the dino head to touch position
    sx=CurrentTouch.x - 100 --setting the dino head to touch position

    iy=CurrentTouch.y - 100 --setting dino image
    ix=CurrentTouch.x - 100 --setting dino image

    background(0, 112, 255, 255) --background

    sprite("Platformer Art:Block Brick", 500, 600, 1100, 600) --city background

    fill(88, 88, 88, 255) --road color
    rect(0, 0, WIDTH, 300) --road

    fill(183, 210, 13, 255) --road mark color
    lx=lx+t
    rect(lx, ly, 70, 20)
    if lx>WIDTH+70 then lx=-100
    end

    l2x=l2x+t
    rect(l2x, l2y, 70, 20)
    if l2x>WIDTH+70 then l2x=-100
    end

    l3x=l3x+t
    rect(l3x, l3y, 70, 20)
    if l3x>WIDTH+70 then l3x=-100
    end

    l4x=l4x+t
    rect(l4x, l4y, 70, 20)
    if l4x>WIDTH+70 then l4x=-100
    end

    l5x=l5x+t
    rect(l5x, l5y, 70, 20)
    if l5x>WIDTH+70 then l5x=-100
    end

    l6x=l6x+t
    rect(l6x, l6y, 70, 20)
    if l6x>WIDTH+70 then l6x=-100
    end --^^^^^^ road mark animation and placemnt

    if rsx>WIDTH+200 then rsx=-400 rsy=rsy+r --resetting the spaceship
    end

    if b1x ==1100 then t=0 b1x=-200 text(score, 500, 300) --if person 1 moves off screen then game over
    end

@sawyer797 1.) When you post code, put 3 ~'s before and after your code so it formats correctly in the forum. I added them for you. 2.) You're code would be easier to read if it was indented properly. 3.) Looks like you need to learn about tables. 4.) Using your own sprites means that other people on the forum who don't have those sprites won't see your game the way it's supposed to run. 5.) I didn't try to run your code because there's no point because of the sprites. 6.) Because I didn't run it, I don't know anything else to comment on.

@dave1707 I have reposted this with sprites that you can use. The collision is no where close to right with the sprite images but it works.

dave1707

@sawyer797 Remove the numbers -155 and +90 from your a and b statements in the function collision. That should help with the sprite collision.

@sawyer797 maybe use a table, for loops, and math.random to make more spawning, and also spawn different items. you might find something like this cooler. Try increasing how many times it draws(drawCount), and the speed(speed). I didn't test this, tell me if there is a problem with it, or if you have a question.

function setup()
people = {}
type = {}
p = {}

drawCount = 3
speed = 2

for i = 0, drawCount do
temp = math.random(1,3)

if type[i] == 1 then sprite("Planet Cute:Character Pink Girl")
elseif type[i] == 2 then sprite("Planet Cute:Character Boy")
else type[i] == 3 then sprite("Planet Cute:Character Princess Girl")
end
p[i] = vec2(math.random(WIDTH, WIDTH*2), 100)
end

end
function draw()
background(255,255,255,255)
strokeWidth(5)

for i = 0, drawCount do
img = type[i]
pushMatrix()
translate(p[i].x, p[i].y)
sprite(img)
popMatrix()
p[i].x = p[i].x - speed
end


end
