Anyone knows how to change game direction? I would like to run everything from down to up position.
Played with movieclip.lua and maingame.lua files with no luck.
Also having black screen even when Default.png image is in directory.

Did you ever figure this out? I have not jumped into it just yet, but I think i am going to try to figure it out too.

Actually I see everything as running from down to up position already. As in the objects go from the bottom of the screen to the top. I too am in search for hints on how to make objects fall from the top to bottom ie other direction. Any idea’s on what we should be looking at?

Worked it out. If anyone else is wondering, just open the maingame.lua and change the maths in the moveGems() to switch the direction of the gem objects. And so forth with the other enemies etc.

Hypergurl. Can you provide a example. I tried changing the math and it just did not work.

Try this amended code, all tree move other direction.
It is fun.

Thanks that really helped. I figured out what I was missing. [import]uid: 34105 topic_id: 11233 reply_id: 66527[/import]
Sorry about a slow reply, have been away the last couple of weeks. Here is the code I’ve used to make the Gems fall from top to bottom. Hope it helps 
[code]
– ************************************************************** –
– moveGems() – move gems based on game speed
– ************************************************************** –
local moveGems = function()
local gameMoveSpeed = gameSettings[“gameMoveSpeed”]
local randValue
gemObject1.y = gemObject1.y + gameMoveSpeed
gemObject2.y = gemObject2.y + gameMoveSpeed
– gemObjects go past player (reset gem combo)
if gemObject1.y >= 300 then
– if gem wasn’t picked up, reset combo count
if gemObject1.alpha == 1.0 then
gemCombo = 0
end
end
if gemObject2.y >= 300 then
– if gem wasn’t picked up, reset combo count
if gemObject2.alpha == 1.0 then
gemCombo = 0
end
end
– gemObject1 goes past screen (top)
if gemObject1.y >= 400 then
gemObject1.x = randomGemLocations[gemIndice];
gemIndice = gemIndice + 1
if gemIndice > maxGemIndice then
gemIndice = 1
end
gemObject1.y = -120
if gemObject1.isVisible == false or gemObject1.alpha == 0 then
gemObject1.isVisible = true
gemObject1.alpha = 1.0
end
– choose new gem color
– set random color for both gem objects
randValue = random1to4Table[oneFourIndice]
oneFourIndice = oneFourIndice + 1
if oneFourIndice > maxOneFourIndice then
oneFourIndice = 1
end
gemObject1:stopAtFrame( randValue )
gemObject1.isBodyActive = true
end
– gemObject2 goes past screen (top)
if gemObject2.y >= 400 then
gemObject2.x = randomGemLocations[gemIndice];
gemIndice = gemIndice + 1
if gemIndice > maxGemIndice then
gemIndice = 1
end

gemObject2.isVisible = true
gemObject2.alpha = 1.0
end
