Hey guys so atm I'm making a game where you shoot random objects that appear.

However I'm having trouble making the objects spawn from outside the left and right side of the screen.

I can make them spawn from any random area of the screen.. but I'd like to make it so they only appear from the left and right and travel in only those directions, opposed to appearing right in the middle of the screen as if they've magically appeared out of nowhere, and moving diagonally, if that makes sense.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks guys!

Sorry for the nooby question, I can't believe I'm even asking this..

But how do I set the maximum number of lives?

Example:

In my game, every 5 seconds the player loses a life.

But if the player clicks on food, it will give him one life back.

I want the maximum amount of lives in my game to be 3, but at the moment if the player keeps clicking on food, he will gain unlimited health.

I tried comparing my lives to a counter, but still I'm getting the same problem I can't seem to limit the number of lives the player has.
Even after setting the maximum value of the counter to 3.

I know there must be a simple solution to this, I don't think my brains working well enough today haha.

Thanks guys.

Edit:

I solved it myself - i wasn't thinking properly haha.
For anyone else wondering this is how I fixed it:

I added a counter and made the maximum value 3 and minimum value 0.
I just replaced the numbers of the counter with the lovehearts of the 'lives' object.

simple haha, sorry for the useless post!

I was just about to edit this post, yeah i used API 22 and it worked, thanks anyway man. kisses xoxo

Have you installed API 10? I'm new to this but I think that may be the problem, Try installing it in the SDK Manager.

Or better yet, Download API 23 in SDK manager and then in your Application properties on clickteam, Select 'Android' > 'Build API' and select "Newest Installed SDK API"

Please login to see this link.

My problem is that after trying to build the .apk, It says there's an error:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:716: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:730: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

In my preferences I've selected:
Pathname of the JDK directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45
Pathname of the Android SDK directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

I have installed all API 23 files (The API I'm using on ClickTeam)

...

I'm confused, cold and scared for my life, Help me.

When I save the file it's called 'attachment.php' and I can't open it

I try to download the file and it's asking me to save 'attachment.php'?

How do I construct a string with the score? Sorry I don't understand.

Thanks for the replies guys, It worked!

Now how would I go about having players share their scores on my game to their facebook page?

I want to make it so that when the user clicks on an object the player jumps.

or can I change the joystick so when it's pressing up, the player jumps?

I've looked up lots of tutorials and can't figure it out.

Hey I'm new to exporting to android so I'm just testing my games out now.

One thing I want to know is how can I make my Player move in certain directions using the touch screen?

Above is a quick game I've made, I would like to make it so that if the user touches the left arrow for example, The Player will move left.

Thanks bros!

So do I need a Mac to publish games for iPhone? I'm a little confused. :o

Hey I'm new, How do I play my game once built, on an iPhone?

Previously when I was using my Samsung, I would save it as an apk and then send it to my hotmail account, Then go on my hotmail using my Samsung and download the apk onto my phone that way.

I've built the application now as a .cci and have tried to open it using my iPhone and I get the message "Safari cannot download this file".

Help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
