Hi everybody! We’re starting a new segment on the livestream – Help Desk! Where we will answer YOUR questions live
BUT TO DO THAT we need questions! So please post questions you have here! They can be anything, but if you’d like some inspiration, they could be like:
How to make a certain kind of game in Arcade (like, how do I make a boss that attacks in a smart way)
Specific help on one of your games (what’s wrong with my program???)
Is it possible to make a ____ type game (Sonic Adventure 2, Persona)
What our favorite extension is
What our favorite food is…
and we will do our best to give you the best answer!
I am eternally thankful for this. Is there anyway I can make procedural generation? Is there also anyway how I can create custom sprite effects, like a lightning effect?
Is it possible to make a game with different dialogues per day and different events happening depending on the day (in the game)? Or would it cause too much lag?
Are you wanting to do something based on the day of the week? I don’t know if there is a block to determine which day it is, but if should be possible to do this in Javascript. For example:
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getDay();
@livcheerful
The JavaScript editor does not know what the Date() object is. Is there another way to use native JavaScript?
In my last post I was curious as to whether Arcade supports date/times? Maybe to answer my own question, if the platform does not support date/times, then maybe that is because not all hardware devices have a built in clock.
I use blocks and I have a basic idea for how I will do it, I was just wondering if it would cause lag if I had a lot of different dialogues per (in game) day
