    well i just made the coolest thing in flappy bird ever
  • g
    on accident
  • g
    enter the pipe zone
  • f
    so it's not the flappy bird style of movement?
  • f
  • g
    yea im using acceleration instead of pure gravity
  • g
    i think it makes it a bit harder
  • g
    speaking of that though i was actually thinking of making a newgrounds account
  • g
    it seems pretty cool
  • g
    i never really looked at it but theres some sick indie games
  • s
    newgrounds and itch.io have alot of cool indie games n' stuff
  • s
    gamejolt has too, but its more well known so its full of shitpost, kinda harder to find good stuff
  • f
    yes you should and you should also follow me

    i cant get collisions to work, what am i doing wrong?
    Copy code
    haxe
//MainScene.hx
app.arcade.onUpdate(this, (d: Float) -> {
            for (v in pipes) {
                app.arcade.world.collide(plr.body, v.hitbox.body); //TODO1 finish pipe collisions
            }

----
//Pipe.hx
hitbox = new Quad();
        hitbox.color = Color.RED;
        hitbox.anchor(0.5, 1);
        hitbox.x = width/2;
        hitbox.size(headtex.width, tailtex.height * (tailLength + 5) + headtex.height);
        hitbox.initArcadePhysics();
        hitbox.allowGravity = false;
        hitbox.immovable = true;
        add(hitbox);
        });

    i feel like every time i work with arcade physics this is the hardest part
  • b
    The problem is that you are trying to make two body collides but those two bodies are attached to visuals that don't have the same parent. The arcade physics system is pretty basic, bodies position only take into account the relative position of the visual they are attached to, not any parent
  • b
    So if you want your collision to work, you either need to test on objects that share the same 0,0 relative origin, or create a custom 
    arcade.Body
    object on which you set the x,y values yourself

    sorry to bother you couple days after but isn't Element still in dev?
  • a
    nah it's fine, to reply to me
  • a
    afaik elements is more of a "build your own gui" kind of tool and the issue with it is more that it has 0 documentation and isn't easy to "just" pick up
  • w
    if it would make sense I have interest to work on a CYOA style of game
  • w
    oh fairr
  • a
    i'll probably be uploading my backend of haxeui-ceramic soonish, there are things that i'm stuck on, but, I still got a bit of stuff left to do on it I believe
  • a
    i'm not sure if you have a preference of ui
  • a
    elements does look pretty usable tho
  • a
    this is made in elements
  • a
    so both are capable options for ceramic
  • a
    it will essentially come down to "pick your preferred workflow"
  • w
    tbh I think in term of UI an text adventure isn<t supra complex
