Hello,
I've been asked to finish off a game at work despite having very little knowledge of Flash and ActionScript, and I'm a little stuck :(
I have to make objects travel down 3 conveyor belts at random intervals as you progress through the levels. A catcher (which is user controlled) will be waiting at the end of the conveyor belts ready to catch the objects as they drop. The higher the level the faster they are generated and the faster the conveyor belts go.
Sounds simple enough, but I'm pretty stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
I'm using Flash 8 with ActionScript 2. I have my object catcher moving from left to right, I had objects dropping and using hit tests I have the score and level incrementing, but the code that generated the objects wasn't good enough and objects started to overlap and it didn't look very random, it looked rubbish.
Anyone :confused:
Cheers,
Blackred.
