psygnosys Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi Everyone, I'm looking to create a 2D game, can anyone tell me something material to study? Lua scripts to move, jump, collect items, power bar these things. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phodex Games Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I personally would not recommend Leadwerks, for 2D game development, altough its a cool software. Maybe go for GameMaker Studio, which I tried and can recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psygnosys Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 I understand, I use Clickteam for some things in 2d, but I would like to use Leadwerks for the ease of importing 3D models into the .FBX form. I still appreciate your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggrorJorn Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I don't think you will find many articles/tutorials specifically for 2d. A 2.5d sidescroller is certainly doable though. The videos below are a little older and use an FPS perspective but the programming concept remains the same. For a basic powerbar/healthbar meter Collecting items. Alternatively you could visit the marble tutorial which also does picking up items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psygnosys Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Cool, I'll take a look at these videos, it could be 2.5D. This might be a good start! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just be aware that the character controller has at least two bugs at the moment to which 2D/2.5D games are especially susceptible. However, if you're not using slopes then you probably won't notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psygnosys Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Very good, I'll download the "http://www.mediafire.com/file/6sxskkdzranqvtb/NewtonTest.zip" and take a look, thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggrorJorn Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Oftopic, how are you editing your messages? I have to manually horizontal scroll your posts in order to read them. Are you copying them from somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
