Hi, all.
I feel like a total dope.
I am trying to make a game using 5 rolling dice. I have been reading everything I can find and trying to figure this out, but I am stumped and discouraged.
I know that I need to use either Math.ceil(Math.random()6) or Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) to get the value of each die. I made my pictures of the dice, as I knew how to do that!
It seems to me that I need to tell the code to generate six different numbers, and tell the game to display my dice according to the numbers generated. However, knowing that I need to do that and knowing HOW to do that are totally different things.
At one point, I thought “well, I’ll just get the dice on the board and then figure out how to call different numbers.” So I wrote this awesome (being sarcastic, here) bit of code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
var Die = new oneDot();
addChild(Die);
Die.x = i120+115
Die.y = 175
I was then the proud owner of five dice that showed one dot and did nothing.
Can anyone give me a boost? Or point me to a tutorial on how to do this? I have been scouring tutorials, but the ones I have found are too old for me (I’m using Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4) or they just have the complicated bits of code without how to get the dice to show on the board. Like - how the start!
Can anyone help me? Please?
