Hidden game pointer

[L13n]

Hi, I want to make a hidden game, but how can you make two pointers at the right and the left side like the other games do?

Thank you

2 pointers?
Tell me a game that I can look at to see what you mean?

It sounds interesting but you will need to be more specific.

I think he may be referring to a "spot the difference" style game.

where you would have two identical images (well close to identical, but lets say with 10 differences), one on the left, and one on the right side of the screen. You move the mouse on the picture on the right side.. and the left side has an similar mouse pointer helping you navigate the image as you search for the difference.

the images would be something like this - http://www.spotthedifference.com/practice.asp?m=5&l=2

but the movement of the cursor on the right side would be mirrored on the left over that image as well.

Yes, thank you method72. That's exactly I mean...
I'm sorry, I got It wrong, not the hidden game, but the "spot difference game" =p

Wouldn't a mirrored follower just be a matter of setting 'something' always at X,Y from mouse?

The lens object - set to the left image might be a nice approach.

[Tisnart]

This could be really easy or complex. Depends on how you want to set things up. You could start off with just a basic setup and add to it as you go?

Thank you very much for answering.
So, I must make an object that is functioned to mouse pointer and then make an event based on it?
What is exactly the event I should use to make it works?

I tried the lens object, but apparently, it doesn't compatible with flash player.

Thanks again.

If you are comparing two images - \
Say the left man has an extra eye. When you mouse the the right and are over the man's head and click - play a sound or whatever.
Do the same for each difference.

Do you have penalties for wrong click?

I imagine there are many creative ways to do this. It is a bit early morning for me to extend my creativity

Yes, I'm comparing two images in this game.
But I don't know how to make the two mouse work.
Let's say the first mouse is round shape and the second mouse is pointer shape. The image size 800x600 px.
The round mouse can be only activated in 400x600 area in the left.
The pointer mouse can be only activated in 400x600 area in the right.
When the game played and the player moved the mouse in their hand, those two pointer move together.

Can I make this work in mmf?
Here is the example of the great difference games I meant.
