random motion - Page 2

Dameria · 03:26 PM

I have no idea why the if/else statement is not recognizing the number, so I did something really weird, but it works. I made the 3D text set it's text to the random number that is generated, and then I had an if/else statement for each random number, and then the turtle moves the the corresponding knife. I made it 1-15, but you can make it all the way to 44 is you would like. I also added some other methods to make it work. Even at 1-15 it is challenging, but I got the entire game working, just follow my lead with the other knives.

Tell me what you think please, and if you do not understand a certain part of it, ask me.

I wont laugh, because i know you put yoru effort into this, ive seen a lot of Alice games, so good ones and some great ones, none are bad they just need work

It works great. Thanks so much. But how'd you figure this out? Seems so complicated? I'm sorry if it took a lot of time.

Now i have to figure out how to make the scoreboard and more importantly the scoring system. Wish me luck. Thanks.

what was your problem with this game again

Well my original problem was i wanted to get some sort of random motion for the turtle, and the way i did it with the if/else statements wasn't working. Its in the first attached file on the first page if you want to take a look.

If you need help with the scoring I could help. Also I had a great idea about maybe levels? I know a way where you can have it be level 1 where it goes slowly to each knife, and when you click ten times, it advances in level, so that it gets harder exponentially, and you could even do a time limit if you wanted.

It would be very complicated and I don't know if you will understand it, but it is possible.

I saw it, and yes i see your version and version 1.1, hmm, the random is working but after a while it stops

I think i could do that. You'd have to use while statements and make it so while the score is =< 10 or something the duration of each move to would be set to a smaller number?
right nowi have to start working on an essay thoughD:

Yea, i dunno. It's just really weird. I guess that's computers for you? But now it works so, i'm good. I'll try and figure out why it didn't work when i have time.

Oh the stopping in Dameria's version is because I still have to add the rest of the knives and loop it.

No thats not how you would do it, and Jediaction it stops only when you click the turtle 10 times. Other than that it could stop temporarily because it picked the same random number twice, but then after that it should start going again. When a larger number like 44 is in there, the chances of it stalling would be much less.

EDIT: I just had it running for 5 minutes straight and it never stopped for me. Once you finish the game however, which is to click the turtle 10 times, then the turtle stops moving. I did that intentionally because that is the point to winning the game.
