    How do I do that thing like where I can just type 
    app
    anywhere to get the instance of the app?
  • b
    You use the same import.hx as the one of a default ceramic project

    Hey @billowy-waiter-28954 how's the platformer example going?
  • b
    It’s going fine but you should not expect it before several weeks (unexpected things keeping me busy in September, good things though 🙂 )
  • g
    cool, good to know 😄
  • g
    hey, is there a recommended way to make walls/bounds for a game
  • g
    https://incredible-ape.itch.io/slime-time i wanna make a game similar to this(shoot em up), not sure if i should use tiled or just manually make the walls myself though
  • e
    if your walls are literally that basic, it would make sense to just do them in code
  • e
    but if you have different levels with shapes, and editor might be a better idea
  • r
    Also if you are using Tiled for something else, might make sense
  • g
    whats the difference between a VisualTransition and tweening?
  • g
    oh it looks like tween has a start and end value, transition doesnt
  • g
    ohhh ok
  • g
    transition is more of a loop
  • g
    and the tween is automatic
  • g
    how can i get a screen shake aesthetic?
  • g
    i wanna make something sort of like the screen shakes and turns white for a second
  • b
    VisualTransition is higher level than Tween. A tween lets you interpolate a float value and then you do whatever you want with it in the update callback. A transition is bringing you a special callback with properties to assign destination values, then the tweens are computed internally. VisualTransition is closer to what you would have with CSS property transitions, or Cocoa/iOS transitions if you ever used that
  • g
    i also saw they look a lot smoother than normal tweening for some reason
  • g
    i mightve been doing something wrong though 😛
  • b
    You probably doing something weird with tweens indeed :D, as there is no reason it's not as smooth. Feel free to show here your "non smooth" tween example
  • g
    im pretty sure it was how i structured my code, in addition to switching from tween to transition i changed how it triggers
  • g
    also, how do i properly load and run a spritesheet animation?
  • g
    how do i make animations in general lol
  • g
    i dont have spine
  • e
    spine is just for like the 2d equivalent of 3d modeling afaik
  • e
    if your doing pixel art, i dont think you need to care about spine
  • b
    Spritesheet usage will be showcased in next sample (the platformer sample). Not ready yet though
  • g
    oh ok, i guess ill have to wait till then :/
  • f
    how do saves work again?
