You are here:  Experts > Computing/Technology > Web Design > Macromedia Director > arkanoid for director

Topic: Macromedia Director



Expert: Arvind
Date: 7/15/2007
Subject: arkanoid for director

Question
I have to make a game similar to arkanoid where you stop a ball hitting the ground and deflect it to hit blocks etc.  But I don't know where to start.  Could you give me any sample code or provide any advice

Answer
Hi Eamann,

Are you making this for a school/University course?  If so, then the best bet is to ask advice from your tutor!  I've never tried making this type of game before, but the only thing I can suggest in terms of "sample code" is the 'constraint' Lingo script, e.g: -

on exitFrame me
   sprite(2).constraint = 1
end

...a description of it can be found here: -
