This tutorial features an endless basic shooting game.
Plan
Before starting to build the game, here's a plan that will be followed:
- Fire bullets when the mouse is down.
- Shapes will grant the player an amount of points upon destruction.
- Zombies will spawn, which take damage from bullets. A zombie will dissapear from the screen when its health is depleted.
- Allow the player to buy new weapons, and equip them and previous weapons.
- Increase the difficulty as the game progresses.
- Display important variables to the player using a text-based number display.
Before starting development, create 4 sprites: player, zombies, weapons, and store
The Player
For the player, a smooth movement script will be used. The player will always point toward the mouse pointer. The variables player.xv, and player.yv can be global variables, but if made as for the sprite only, they must be made in the sprite.
when flag clicked set [player.xv v] to (0) set [player.yv v] to (0) go to x:(0) y:(0) forever change [player.xv v] by ((<<key (right arrow v) pressed?> or <key (d v) pressed?>> - <<key (left arrow v) pressed?> or <key (a v) pressed?>>) * (0.5)) change [player.xv v] by ((<<key (up arrow v) pressed?> or <key (w v) pressed?>> - <<key (down arrow v) pressed?> or <key (s v) pressed?>>) * (0.5)) set [player.xv v] to ((player.xv) * (0.85)) set [player.xv v] to ((player.yv) * (0.85)) change x by (player.xv) change y by (player.yv) if on edge, bounce //Make sure to put this before the point block. point towards (mouse-pointer v)
