This is the forum I promised I'd make for LB!

I'm going to expand on his JUMP example!

I am now working with him to make random levels!

I have done this, LB:

You can use an active object that you create backdrops from so you don't have to change the code much. You'd need to remove the existing backdrops and make the frame virtual width -1, and remove the victory/goal conditions.

Exactly as you asked. Well, you did ask for the active backdrop thingy, so what I did, is I (Just as a test, so you could see) let the player ride the actives created when you jump and hold!

Take a look:

This is a topic in an existing forum, not an entirely new forum

Great!

No, I'm answering your questions.

I have done this, LB:

Why make a public topic if it's specifically addressed to me? Our PMing was fine, wasn't it?

Take a look:

I can't, because I don't have iOS Button.mfx, because I don't have the iOS exporter.

Oops, that was an accident, I didn't mean to put that in there...

Here you go!

[LB]

OK, I've checked it out. You haven't removed the existing obstacles. But you see (you do see, right?) how you can dynamically create the obstacles? All you have to do is create platforms randomly a little off-screen in front of the player and ensure it is always possible to jump from the previous to the next. Mess around with it for a bit before you come back with questions

Here's an example of what random generation I've done...

It works, sort of...

Here's a pic and an example:

You'll probably want to forget about the corners and edges for now - that will be a challenge for later. You should also make sure it doesn't regenerate where it has already generated - you can use a variable to hold the farthest the player got and only generate when they exceed that value, then update the value.

[XStar]

So it's a generate as you go! Okey dokey, I'll get working!

[XStar]

Here we go, now it generates as you go!

[LB]

Except it almost never generates a platform underneath where you start. It also doesn't seem to always make it possible to continue. Do you need something specific from me or am I just here to tell you what's wrong? :\

[XStar]

Hmmm... I'll add that in. But what do you mean:
