Tossing the Lettuce

Hello everybody! This week I accomplished one main goal and one accidental goal. I was able to create walls that were solid and my actor/character could run into and touch using the collision action. At first the walls would just fly off screen but after going in to physics I was able to make it an immovable object fixing that problem. Second after trying to create an environment in my scene I came across the gravity feature which might allow me to experiment and find a way to make a jumping factor. What I’m currently working on is trying to create a jumping factor and also get rid of an annoying side effect of the gravity that is causing my character to bounce whenever he falls and comes in contact with the floor. Also the bug from before where the character creates constant duplicates in a trail behind him while he is moving upwards, downwards, left, right and any direction at all really. It is a bug that I am planning on getting looked at with other Game Salad users A.K.A. our teacher and one of my friends (privacy reasons). What I’m looking at to do next is most likely creating enemies with either a destroy function which causes which ever actor I choose to be destroyed or a reset function to just restart the level and make the player play though the section again until they are able to beat it and create a sort of checkpoint at the next section.

My first post

Hello ladies, gentleman and that technicolor rainbow in between! My name is Will Ney and this is my blog. I get to chose my own project in which I have decided to create a video game. In my week I programed an actor/character to move around using the arrow keys. I first needed to enter the program KEY in my actor and then enter in the up key as the trigger for a 90 degree movement input as a MOVE command at a speed of 300. I repeat this process with the trigger key for left, right and down. The angles of movement being 180 degrees, 0 degrees, and 270 degrees all at a speed of 300. I am currently working on creating solid object or objective points. I am also trying to fix a bug that causes my character to continue to create copies of itself when it moves.
