Hello! I want to create game with animated BG's. That's example what I want do do - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXTFe4X-u8s

I read about ATL a little. And now I can make moving clouds, and I can change transparency level of layers (and make sun glare effects on screen).

But how can I made mowing wires, shaked by wind? And flying planes? How can I draw lines, bezier curves, dots and animate them? Is that possible? Can I get an example of something, that looks like I want?

Hi. Simple question - how do i add nested dictionaries values to a variable? For example:

Code: Select all

default test_var = 1
default itemz = {"sword": {"name": "sword","atk":10,"val":20},'helm': {"name": "helm","atk": 0,"def": 10,"val": 20}}

    
    
label start:
    "[itemz!q]"
    "add some points..."

    $test_var += [itemz[sword][atk]]
    return

Thats how

Code: Select all

$pc.atk += (itemz["sword"]["atk"])

Ok, I have a question, how one can make variables for wood choping with daily wood incom. I mean I choose to chop woods and when day is over I'll get +5 wood. All I can do is variables with unlimited replies. Like i click left mous buton, +5 wood, next click, next +5 wood and so on. It's also about date system. I was able to creat variables with minutes proceed by click +30 minutes, than +1 hour, +1 day, +1 month, +1year. I want it to be display only when I choose minutes proceed from menu. How can I get effect like this?

        $ Iron = 0
        $ Gold = 10000

        $ GameRunning = True

            "Your weekly incom"
            if WoodChoping:
                $ Wood += 5

How can I make calendar visable? And how can I display this incom I get?

EDIT: Situation under control.

[rururubell]

How can I add AlphaMask() func to "complex" image? Like this string:

Code: Select all

show expression AlphaMask( "123", At( "456", center )) as mask

How to add this to image like this. And then just "show" or "scene" it:

Code: Select all

image someimage1:
    contains:
        "someimage2"
    contains:
        "how to add AlphaMask()?"

[rururubell]

Oh, I search a little more and get it. I can declare an image object like this:

Code: Select all

image masked_image = AlphaMask( "another_image", "mask" )

And then just put it on complex image

Code: Select all

image complex_image:
    contains:
        "masked_image"
    contains:
        ...

Hello.
I want to be able to change the variable of my screen when i choose that it's time to change it.
Screen is a basic calendar and when a part of the scenario is done, i want to add a line like $ Hours += 1 to add 1 hours to my game.
Now, it's telling me that the variables Hours is not defined.

Probably a really newb question

Code: Select all

label start:

label screenClock:
    screen ClockScreen():
        $ WeekDays = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
        $ Months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "Octobre", "November", "December"]
        $ MonthDays = [29, 27, 30, 29, 30, 29, 30, 30, 29, 30, 29, 30]
        $ Minutes = 0
        $ Hours = 12
        $ Month = 0
        $ Day = 0 #Weekday
        $ Days = 0 #Monthday
        $ Output = WeekDays[Day] + " " + Months[Month] + " " + str(Days+1) + " " + str(Hours).zfill(2) + ":" + str(Minutes).zfill(2) + ":00"
#        $ Hours += 1
        if Minutes > 30:
            $ Minutes = 0
            $ Hours += 1
        if Hours > 23:
            $ Hours = 0
            $ Day += 1
            $ Days += 1
        if Day > 6:
            $ Day = 0
        if Days > MonthDays[Month]:
            $ Month += 1
            $ Days = 0
        if Month > 11:
            $ Month = 0
        frame:
            xalign 0 ypos 0
            text  "[Output]"


    show screen ClockScreen
    show bd 0001a
    e "Hi"
    $ Hours += 1  # This is not making the change i want in my ClockScreen
    scene
    show bd 0001b
    t "Hello"
    pause
    return
