blocks merging into one another when moving by x

[lembi2001]

that title makes ZERO sense when i read it back but it's the only way i can think of to describe the problem.

I have three squares on the right hand side of the backdrop which move left by 33 until they hit a certain co-ordinate at which point they move right by 33 until they hit a certain co-ordinate an then the whol process repeats....

when the blocks go off the side of the backdrop they merge into each other temporarily before moving back. see mfa below:

can anyone see what the problem is with the code???

I modified your events... I'm not sure if this is the sort of behavior you were aiming for?

[lembi2001]

ok... it works but i have no freaking clue how. lol

It needs to gon one more block to the left and right. which vals do i need to edit.

EDIT... doesn't work quite how i thought it did. i need the exisiting rows to be visible.

Oops, no, don't do that. hahah. I tried it and it got weird. Let me check it again. xD

if it helps i'm trying to recreate the stacker arcade game. the blocks must be built up into a tower. as the blocks go from side to side they scroll off to only one block left on screen at the edges.

Mmkay... this should move the way you asked. When enter is pressed, a new block is dropped. I didn't use the same active because I'm lazy.

I played with this a bit more.

/edit/

Added a couple of tweaks. It's almost a game now!

LOL

You've enjoyed this one haven't you??? can you perhaps comment the code so that i can edit it a little more to make it play a bit closer to the actual arcade game???

Thanks for all you have done on this

I've commented the source. I'm not sure how well things are explained. Feel free to throw any more questions at me.

If you don't mind, I might rework it a bit and compile it to flash to put on my webpage.
