This boardgame is now being tested...

It's good to have references

looks good and hopefully all will come together soon so us sci-fi nuts can play it

Quick basic answer...

For the label to keep being updated you need to put it in function repeatedly_execute_always in Global.

To deteriorate over time set a timer to start (1,600) every 15 seconds.

Then set IsTimerExpired  in global function repeatedly_execute_always

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always() {

  LabelHealth.Text=String.Format("%d",health); // to update label

  if(IsTimerExpired(1)){
  health -= 5;  // takes 5 from health
  SetTimer(1, 600); //  updates counter health every 15 seconds (40 game loops= 40per sec x 15 =15 seconds. so 5 is 
 // taken off every 15 seconds.
 }
} 

PS You also need a to set a condition for when health has ran out...

quick reply and hopefully correct

As per a PM request to change board font colour:

A Hobbit game?

Well, someone had to

Hiya Khris,

I suppose it depends how people have there computer/browser set. if i use the images actual width of 800 it creates a small x scroll and really tight images. larger images get a really big x scroll. On my setup they look fine.

Of course if you think it best to leave the width out.....? meanwhile, my browser (chrome) is zoomed at 100...

cheers

Simply use the room-sized object made of a big black sprite.

that would be a simpler way

just change room:

Code: ags

SetNextScreenTransition(eTransitionInstant); // if you do not want any fade between the rooms.

CharName.ChangeRoom(1);// example. will keep x y from room 2 when you go back to room 1. 

Game progress: 80%

Updated First Post with updated screenshots...

yes, you could do it by cutscene in another room but it could depend on what is supposed to happen in that dark room...and does he go back?

Aghhhhh that's where i've seen it before.. Ok... now have Rings font

cheers

The Hobbit: Rise of the Dragon King is an adventure game in the form of a board game with themes based on Lord of the rings and The Hobbit.

A simple one cursor, one click actions. Both left and right click gives same actions.

This is a much shorter game then my usual offerings.

Storyline:
Gandalf the wizard seeks your help (Saruman has taken away Gandalf's magic) as Princess Mika Milovana of Dale has been abducted by Saruman the evil wizard.

Saruman has taken her to his Black Tower as a sacrifice for the Dragon King Smaug, who returns to Middle-earth every 50 years for a royal sacrificial offering, for which Saruman will gain control over all dragons throughout Middle-earth.

With just a few Crams and a bottle of spring water in your bag, along with nervous courage, you set off to rescue Princess Mika Milovana from the clutches of Saruman in the Black Tower.

Your quest is not an easy one for many allies of Saruman lurk throughout Middle-earth (Wargs, Trolls, Goblins etc).

Enemies will drive you back whilst friends will help you as much as they can.

During your journey there are fairy cards, dragon cards and help or hinder cards. Each will determine your progress in the game. Along the way you may be given charms that will help you defeat Saruman, such as a ring of invisibility.

If you make it to the Black Tower can you summon all you courage to defeat Saruman and return with Princess Mika Milovana of Dale?

Input you own Hobbit Name into the game:













Expect: September 2015.

Hi,

I think you should leave them nameless, or add a "mouse over" with the name instead.

Due to the way the game is constructed having square mouse-overs is not really a viable option.

i have enhanced the objects so they stick out more...

Names: well, an alternative way was to add names, as in real board games... due to the squares size there is little else i could do but i'm happy about what i have.

what i do need is an up and down walk cycle for the hobbit. I have left and right... any takers?

Hi,

Cheers guys...

It is however a bit difficult to see what is background and what are game elements.

The main image is the background (BOARD). Game elements are: fairy and dragon cards (maybe add shadow for depth?), dragonfly, tumbler, wizard and hobbit and of course mouse hand.

All can be moved to position. the dragonfly is animating around the wizard...there are also other elements not yet placed.

Also the only mouse interaction is 'Hand' used when shaking tumbler, picking fairy / dragon cards, dialog option choices and top buttons...

Updated with place names.

Comments welcome for improvements with image and above...

I somewhat agree,

added some colour with transparency. Also more of the board in-game:

Should i leave this Board games squares as they are or should i add colour / picture / place?
The squares are all places in Middle-earth....


ideas / opinions welcomed...

Congratulations on this games release MyEakinBack.

The topics of the game, like global warming, are things everyone should be made more aware of.

This is not just a game but of an awareness of a possible world devastation if mankind does not change their ways!

Play now...

Cheers Snarky it's almost on the button except re-animating the tumbler, i can do this...

also i need to tweak the initBoard squareX 's and squareY 's.

So, all in all a success

Oh, yes: Gandalf...

thanks so much Snarky

back to testing....let you know..

cheers

Ok,

i'm going to bite the bullet and get ready for rear buckshots

here is all my code it gives string argument is not a string:

Code: ags

//top of room script

// It could be to do with the way i use odice frame to add event, possibly.....

Well. there you have it...

hi guys,

error

one of the string arguments supplied was not a string...

Code: ags

 cGandolf.SayAt(cGandolf.x+9, cGandolf.y -100, 500, String.Format("You have rolled a %s.", number[dieRoll]));

//FULL script
 if(oDice.Frame ==0){
   
 cGandolf.SayAt(cGandolf.x+9, cGandolf.y - 100, 500, String.Format("You have rolled a %s.", number[dieRoll]));
 oTumbler.Move(oTumbler.X, oTumbler.Y+40, 2, eBlock, eAnywhere);
 currentSquare = (currentSquare + dieRoll) % SQUARE_COUNT;
 cHobbit.Walk(squareX[currentSquare], squareY[currentSquare]);

// Repeats for all dice numbers thrown

ok... first off you click a tumbler and it shakes. meanwhile dice is animating underneath. click tumbler again and dice stops animating. the tumbler rises to reveal dice and the player moves accordingly.

i think i have all the scripts in correctly....

cheers guys, that should keep me busy for a while
