Title Screen System & Graphics

[Twin Matrix]

Hey, working on a title screen. I'd post a screeny but its really about the movement AND the images, and without the movement it looks pretty dull (the background image, for example, is not even related to the game -- I just used it because I needed one).

Use the RIGHT and LEFT buttons to turn the arrow. You can't move the little light bulb. Also, you have to wait for the arrow to stop still. Then you can hit enter and such.

Nice idea, nice execution... some downpoints I spotted, though...

- the error will stop even if you hold the arrow button... use Input.press? instead of Input.trigger?.
- the arrow blends with the background in a negative way... you should use some matching background, like a clock scheme with a clock pointer (don't know what they're called...) or something like that...

EDIT: You should also make this script string-compatible... modifying the pictures would be a pain in the ass...

You also need to either dispose the blue globe or use it on any screens with nothing on them...

 

[Twin Matrix]

You don't like the blue globe?

@Scope What's script string-compatible? And I want the player to have to press the arrow instead of holding it. ^_^

I mean that it just sit there if there is nothing over it. You need to either dispose of it or keep it spinning...

 

[Twin Matrix]

The Orb DOES keep spinning. oO

Change the map in your demo to have all the tiles be white. You'll see what i mean...

Well, input a text in the script editor which will be displayed with a defined font, not with pictures.

Ya, but then you can't move the letters like I did. Plus, the letters have a nice outline. ^^

 

[BlueScope]

You can, you just need to do text fileds for every single letter and move them... ^_^

 

[Twin Matrix]

How? o_O

 

[BlueScope]

self.contents(x+(letter_index*10), y, 50, 20, letter_index.text, 0)

Then shift the text's y-value... but I just realized that that's a little tricky... ^_^ Well, Seph will help you :P ^_^

 

[Twin Matrix]

Meh, it's working now anyway. :P
