Changing levels

By rachel1495, with 3 replies.
Last reply by davmac, over 13 years ago:

Ah. I guess that the "if" block is in some code that gets called by an act() method, which gets called every cycle. levelCount.getValue() still returns 1, so the condition is true and level 2 will be set continuously. One way to avoid this is to only set the level when the levelCount is increased. For instance, move the "if" block (from the player class) into the world's countLevels() method.

Multi Level Games

By tollpatch, with no replies.

My idea for a multi level game: It's a modification of Wombat, who has to push a loaf into a house to complete a level. In this moment I write only an abstract, if its not clear enough, ask more. Each level is a World, for example WombatWorld, IceWorld, WaterWorld, NightWorld...... The Actor classes are Wombat, House, Rock, Barrel and Loaf. Wombat is moved by arrow keys, Rocks and the House are fixed, the Loaf and the Barrels can be pushed by Wombat. These the only classes and are used in all levels. Within the Wombat class there is: <Code Omitted>Within the constructor of the XxxxWorld is: <Code Omitted> // otherwise ALL worlds will be run thru further on in the code, when the loaf reaches the house: <Code Omitted> Within the act methode of the World : <Code Omitted>The only thing I change from level to level is the image of the characters in the different worlds and within the creator how many rocks and barrels are there to create the difficulty of the level. Zamoht comments:

It works well up to 10 levels but not for 100.

I don't agree. One change may be helpfull: First generate a MasterWorld. It contains the act methode with arrow-key-reaction and level-end-detection. The LEVELWorlds than become subworlds. This supworlds ONLY have the positioning of the objects to form the level difficulty and the images. Anywhere this code has to be and whats bad to have it in a separate class? Besides I expact that this organisation makes it easy to write an level-generator for interested players. Whats the better way to a 100-level-game?

Removing the pause function at game over screen

By SP00F3R, with 3 replies.
Last reply by davmac, over 13 years ago:

Create a boolean variable in the world to track whether it is currently game over or not. Have the player class set that variable when it displays the game over screen. Check that variable before allowing the pause action.

The difference betwen greenfoot.stop() and the pause button?

By rowanto, with 12 replies.
Last reply by danpost, over 13 years ago:

What this essentially does, is split the act method into two separate parts. You can put a condition on doing the second part, something like this: <Code Omitted>With this the second part will be executed every time until the game is paused. Then, when restarted, the world class 'started' method will call the 'restarted' method here to do the second part that was not done ye
