hello there !
I’ve started to build a like - bubble shooter game and I have a few question regarding organization inside my actionscript 3 files.
First, this is what I’ve done til now:
- all the balls are in one big Enemy class
- each different ball is in separate class, like Blue class, which extends Enemy class
- all the balls are stored in an army array when they are generated. I also added a public int var named indexx to the Enemy class, so I can access them in an order. So, the first ball generated has indexx 1, the last one has 67 (for lvl1); also I added a public string var named colour
questions:
-
I generate the ball to be fired -> should I add it to the army array after it took its position ?
-
after the removing balls algorithm - the balls which where removed should I remove them from my army array ?
-
or should I generate another array (multidimensional) on every timer tick (25ms) from the balls current x and y positions ? If so, how do you think it’ll be best arranging this array for the future algorithms to succeed easier ?
-
for lvl2, 10 rows of balls are generated. the player should see only 6. how can I add a mask ? or what can I do to hide the lines which are over the top ?
I’ve not implemented the removing balls algorithms yet - I’ve seen a hex map idea and I think I’ll use it.
Btw, it’s an AIR application.
If any of you can help me with anything - tutorials, some codes to be read before - anything I’ld apreciate.
Thanks a lot !
