after actually playing the game on a tablet, you move fast. I mean really fast. wanted to make it universal.

Works on all sizes but there are some graphical bugs and still no sound.

It loads up and plays but the sprite detection is a bit liberal.

Good to know that it runs on someone else's. And by sprite detection you mean collisions right?

Comment Goes Here!Yeah that's what I meant, collisions. I haven't managed to get past the first obstacle yet if my info will help in fine tuning your game.

It seems to collide when the sheep is within half a sprite width of the other sprite.

for mine its a larger area. Maybe it has to do with the screen size. Mine it seems about 1.25 sprites. I should probably make an option to change that.

Just to make sure you mean its colliding too soon or too late?

melmantheman

also what is your screen size?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace and I think the screen size is 3.5 inch.

According to the link below, my phone's resolution is 320 x 480.

I dont see anything in the code that would make that different per screen size.

public boolean touchingSpike(int x, int y,int size)
	{
		//for(int z = 0; z < parts.length;z++)
			//if(x < parts[z][0] + size && x > parts[z][0] && y < parts[z][1] + size && y > parts[z][1] )
				//return true;

		for(int z = 0; z < parts.length;z++)
		{
			float x2 = parts[z][0] + size/2;
			float y2 = parts[z][1] + size/2;
			float ax = Math.abs(x2 - (x+size/2));
			float ay = Math.abs(y2 - (y + size/2));
			if(ax < 40 && ay < 40 )
				return true;
		}

		return false;
	}

-->

int size is the size of the player (the sheep) which is also the same size as the spike.

I would do a screen shot to show how far the gap is between to two sprites but I dont think the phone has that kind of function.

Posted : Saturday, 11 August 2012, 19:28

steve_ancell

I could say there's maybe at least a 5mm gap where it starts colliding.

Thanks for the bug report steve, I just went ahead and changed the collision type to all the <, > stuff and it works more efficiently even on my Kindle! Its been updated you can go ahead and test that see if anything is better if not i'll tweak it some more!

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 13:21

steve_ancell

OK, I will go and test it for you now.

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 13:24

melmantheman

Awesome! tell me how it goes

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 14:12

steve_ancell

Collision detection is spot on now.

steve_ancell

Actually, scratch that, I have just discovered that the sheep doesn't die. LOL

|edit| I thought it seemed a bit too easy!. LOL |edit|

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. back to the tweeking board.

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 15:26

melmantheman

Whoopsy i made a pretty funny error. I made it use the array index of the plays location (int x) instead of the loop counter (int z). It should work this time.

(PS: i didnt even realize that it wasnt colliding until i went back and tried to die on purpose!)

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 15:52

steve_ancell

That's what I did after I originally thought it was spot on, I went back and tried killing the sheep.

Posted : Sunday, 12 August 2012, 15:58

melmantheman

Does it work now?

Posted : Monday, 13 August 2012, 12:01

steve_ancell

Bare with me, I will give it a try.

Posted : Monday, 13 August 2012, 14:21

melmantheman

Its not working yet either. Not even on mine. For some reason only the spinning ones wont collide.

Posted : Monday, 13 August 2012, 15:20

steve_ancell

Not getting any collisions at all either.

Posted : Monday, 13 August 2012, 16:17

melmantheman

I dont understand. Here is all then code for collisions it really should work flawlessly but it doesnt:

public boolean touchingSpike(int x, int y,int size)
    {

        for(int z = 0; z < parts.length;z++)
        {     
            Rect part = new Rect((int)parts[z][0],(int)parts[z][1], (int)parts[z][0]+31,(int)parts[z][1]+31);

            Rect sheep = new Rect(x,y,x+size,y+size);

            if(Rect.intersects(part,sheep))
                return true;

        }

        return false;
    }
