Runner Template for Corona

Just send u an email :smiley: [import]uid: 45670 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 77004[/import]

I bought the first release and the second release is really worth!
Much cleaner code, storyboard api and spritesheet management.
Great work.

Thank you Lourenco, I’m glad you found it useful! (:
I’m thinking about doing another template now, but I’m unsure on what could be useful to you guys. Not sure, will think more about it (; Meanwhile, I’m planning a few more updates to the Runner one! [import]uid: 8486 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 77875[/import]

I’m trying to add that features based on Tilt Monster and Ghosts vs Monsters source code. [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78429[/import]

@KeepTrying Let us know if you have any success incorporating code from Tilt Monster or GvM. I’m trying to include a Level Select/Pause Menu system as well. [import]uid: 9059 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78431[/import]

Ok @ericshemcorona, i’m NOOB coder so i need some weeks to do that. [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78438[/import]

Jump and Run - just some ideas:

  • Sound + Music System
  • Level Select
  • Attack System + Combo System
  • Power Ups
  • Character Select
  • FaceBook
  • OpenFeint [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78427[/import]

Umh, I’m not sure about ā€œlevel selectā€, because the template is endless with random spawning of everything.
If by level you mean the actual ā€œskinā€, the art, that changes, then it is as simple as checking a variable.
Where the spritesheets load, you check for a global variable that changes based on a previous level select scene. Then, you change the spritesheet loaded based on that.
Like:
if variable == ā€œforestā€ then
elseif variable == ā€œcityā€ then
and so on. The game would remain exactly the same, with a different skin.
And you can obviously use that logic for different characters too.

Something like Tiny Wings will be pretty good. [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78554[/import]

You mean as a new template?
Would come out terrible with corona as far as performance goes, I mean. Glad to be wrong though.
There’s not a fast and optimized way to manipulate textures, and doing the hills through display.newLine is a good hit to performance too (especially since Corona seems to go overly slow with too many objects on screen).
I can think of a few workaround that would surely make it more playable, but it wouldn’t be as ā€œchangeableā€, hills wouldn’t be ā€œtotallyā€ customizable.

if variable == ā€œforestā€ then
elseif variable == ā€œcityā€ then

That solution sounds good for me.

A little question can i use Sprite Helper or i need Zwoptex to create the SpriteSheets ? [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78564[/import]

I used zwoptex, never tried Sprite Helper, but I guess they work the same. I load a sprite sheet with data from a lua file. So as long as you have the spritesheet.png and the lua file, you just need to swap those and adjust the frames to fit yours.

Ok, i will try that. [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 78620[/import]

Level select like Forest Runner ?

BTW you work as freelancer programmer ? How much it cost ? [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 80009[/import]

I’ll consider those in the next update (:
Also, yes, I work mainly as a freelancer. For an estimate, just mail me at hachisoft[at]hotmail[dot]it (;

Just purchased the template. Nice stuff! I’ll definitely put out an app using it once i figure it all out. [import]uid: 79620 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 81971[/import]

@raymondcheng: I don’t have anything at the moment of the sort ready to use out of the box, but I’m gathering some material to probably make a little pack of several different types of level select screens (:
@rebelwax: thank you! Can’t wait to see what you will make with it (; If you need anything, feel free to contact me. [import]uid: 8486 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 82294[/import]

Any video available? I want to see it in action first… [import]uid: 89239 topic_id: 16123 reply_id: 83756[/import]
