[AS2] game tile class yet again!

[apolloman]

I haven't posted for a couple days because I've been modifying this a lot.

here's the example:

http://sickbooks.com/testing/game4.html

read the fine print on top so you know what to do.

I have combined the use a a few classes that I wrote...

the classes are:

GameBoard (the tile aspect)
GamePlayControl (smooth keyboard control)
BatchSmooth(tweening everything in one shot)

on another project im working on a socket server. the goal of all this is to make it easy to start building a game. here's all the code on the main timeline from that link i gave you...

var myKeyValues:Array = new Array();
myKeyValues[0] = ["map_up", 38, true];
myKeyValues[1] = ["map_down", 40, true];
myKeyValues[2] = ["map_left", 37, true];
myKeyValues[3] = ["map_right", 39, true];
myKeyValues[4] = ["player_up", 87, true];
myKeyValues[5] = ["player_down", 83, true];
myKeyValues[6] = ["player_left", 65, true];
myKeyValues[7] = ["player_right", 68, true];
myKeyValues[8] = ["player2_up", 84, true];
myKeyValues[9] = ["player2_down", 71, true];
myKeyValues[10] = ["player2_left", 70, true];
myKeyValues[11] = ["player2_right", 72, true];

var gameBoard:GameBoard = new GameBoard(mapContainer, "myTile", 40);
var gpc:GamePlayControl = new GamePlayControl(myKeyValues, runGameKeys, 35, false);
var batchTween:BatchSmooth = new BatchSmooth(updatePositions);

gameBoard.setScreen(500, 300);

function runGameKeys(val):Void
{
	var spd:Number = 15;
	var pl_spd:Number = 10;
	if (val == "map_up") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('map', '_y', -spd);
	else if (val == "map_down") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('map', '_y', spd);
	else if (val == "map_left") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('map', '_x', -spd);
	else if (val == "map_right") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('map', '_x', spd);
	
	else if (val == "player_up") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc0', '_y', -pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player_down") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc0', '_y', pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player_left") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc0', '_x', -pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player_right") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc0', '_x', pl_spd);
	
	else if (val == "player2_up") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc27', '_y', -pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player2_down") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc27', '_y', pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player2_left") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc27', '_x', -pl_spd);
	else if (val == "player2_right") batchTween.modifyGoToValue('player_mc27', '_x', pl_spd);
}

var mapXML:XML = new XML();
mapXML.ignoreWhite = true;
mapXML.load("level001.xml");
mapXML.onLoad = parseMapXML;

function parseMapXML(ok):Void
{
	if(ok)
	{
		gameBoard.loadXML(mapXML);
		gameBoard.drawMapAtXY(0, 0);
		gameBoard.addPlayer("player_mc", 0, 200, 200);
		gameBoard.addPlayer("player_mc", 27, 400, 200);
		
		batchTween.addToBatch('player_mc0', ['_x', '_y'], [200, 200], 3);
		batchTween.addToBatch('player_mc27', ['_x', '_y'], [400, 200], 3);
		batchTween.addToBatch('map', ['_x', '_y'], [0, 0], 6);
		
		boardW = (gameBoard._colCount * gameBoard._gridSize);
		boardH = (gameBoard._rowCount * gameBoard._gridSize);
		
		batchTween.defineRange('map', '_x', 0, boardW - gameBoard._screenWidth);
		batchTween.defineRange('map', '_y', 0, boardH - gameBoard._screenHeight);
		batchTween.defineRange('player_mc0', '_x', 0, boardW);
		batchTween.defineRange('player_mc0', '_y', 0, boardH);
		batchTween.defineRange('player_mc27', '_x', 0, boardW);
		batchTween.defineRange('player_mc27', '_y', 0, boardH);
		
		setInterval(redrawGameBoard, 30);
	}
}

var avgTotal:Number = 0;
var avgCount:Number = 0;
var bestTime:Number = 99999999999;
var worstTime:Number = 0;
function redrawGameBoard():Void
{
	var sT = getTimer();
	batchTween.runBatch();
	var eT = getTimer();
	var total = eT - sT;
	if (total > worstTime) worstTime = total;
	if (total < bestTime) bestTime = total;
	avgTotal += total;
	avgCount++;
	var currentAVG = Math.round(avgTotal/avgCount);
	tester.text = 'current['+total+'ms] ---> worst['+worstTime+'ms] :  best['+bestTime+'ms] ---> avg['+currentAVG+'ms]';
}
function updatePositions(id, attr, val):Void
{
	if (id.slice(0, 9) == "player_mc")
	{
		var idNum:Number = Number (id.slice(9));
		gameBoard.updatePlayerProp(idNum, attr, val);
	}
	else if (id == "map")
	{
		if (attr == '_x') gameBoard.drawMapAtXY(val, undefined);
		else if (attr == '_y') gameBoard.drawMapAtXY(undefined, val);
	}
}
hideSides_mc.onPress = function()
{
	if (hideSides_mc._alpha == 100) hideSides_mc._alpha = 75;
	else hideSides_mc._alpha = 100;
}

some of that is for testing. But for the most part you can get a game running under 100 lines of code with these classes.

I just want you guys to check it out and give me your stats.

Mine are...

current[13ms] ---> worst[24ms] : best[12ms] ---> avg[15ms]

the next class I need to finish is one that I didn't list above, which is a collision detection class. This will include circle math, distance formula, grid checking for solid surfaces etc...

If you guys can think of anything that would make this package more complete just let me know.

[apolloman]

oh yeah, and of course when I release this it will all be documented.

[apolloman]

sorry, one more thing... here's what the levels xml description looks like...
http://sickbooks.com/testing/level001.xml

that format isn't set in stone, but its working for now.

plus there a methods to easily put the map together in other ways.

EDIT:

I'll just paste it here...
