FetchAfter 11 week of learning how to use flash once more i have made a project that I’m pritty proud of. I wanted to create a flash game where a ball dog will chase after a ball that bounces around the screen. I’ve done all of it, but there is still the problem of making him let go of the ball. Guess he loves that ball to much. pluse another ball i placed on the screen when the other is gone, so there is that bug to fix. But in all i have learned a ton and will keep using flash in the future. If you don’t use it you loose it and i really see that now.

well there is only one week left to finish that project and i feel like i have all that i need to finish it but things are not coming together. I still can’t get the dog to chase the ball of have both on the screen at the same time. I feel as though i would just like to have the dog move along the bottom of the screen and move after the ball at this point. I dont belive that it’s changeing the idea of the game just moding it some. I feel so close but i will still try my best to finish this project.

dogglestart2.swf
Ok the problem with the ball not moving when chompy is clicked has been fixed, but still both will not move on there own. I have tryed changing there levels still and the code it self but i still run in to the same problem. I feel so much pressure to get this done its crushing me. I feel like im so close to getting this it hurts. I just need for the dog to track the ball X&Y. I have examples but trying to change the code to work how i want is still a huge problem for me.

ok i thought i had a good idea on now to get my doggle to bounce along with the ball but flash thinks its just a bad idea. I tryed to place the code which makes the ball bounce on the doggle thinking it should work, but it makes chompy freeze when you do (examply) doggleballmove.swf and if you click him when the ball is moving it stop the ball. And if i switch the layers it dose the same thing in reverse dogglemove.swf Iv’e looked all over the net and asked many teachers, and most are as clueless as I. on top of that i still have to make him chase the ball and bounce off of him when he get’s close to it so he can keep chasing it. Please Mr. With i need help!

well im no better then i left off with this project. I still don’t know how to get the dog to chase the ball, or where to place the code for it to work. I used examples and viewed the code many times, but it’s been to long sence i used flash to remember most of the code or how to place it in the code area to get most things to work. That about sums it up for me right now.

Doggle startExample (click to start)
I’ve made the stage and my doggle. I now have the ball bouncing around the screen, but im having trouble getting him to chase the ball. I used some of the Tut’s that Mr. Wirth has given us, but it still is a problem changing the code to do what you want. I feel that I’m close but Still need help to finish this.

The bases for the project is coming together. In the final comp there are point to show what will be needed in the final design of this project. As you can see this is a fetch game where the dog will try to catch the object that is moving around the room. When he has the ball he will chew the ball. The user will be able to take the ball from him and throw it around and the doggle will try to catch the ball.
Coding Needed
The code the is needed for the project to work would be
A. an AI code to have chompy chase the ball around the room
B. Physics for the ball to bounce around the room
C. a command to tell chompy to release the ball when the user want to take the ball
D. AI or physics to make chompy bounce around the room so he is able to catch the ball.
These Codes are what i feel are needed to make this game work and become somthing great to play with.

This is the Mockup of the Fetch Game.

Going back over the idea of the first project, I changed the project to an diffrent idea. This will be an interactive fetch game. The idea will be a ball shaped dog that will bounce around the screen to catch the ball. When he has the ball he will chew it and bring it back to the curser for you to throw. The idea is cute and simple for anyone to play and will be a real test of my Flash skills.
