ok ive made a game its called Mario catcher but i cant get the coins to fall properly because i want them to randomly fall and Mario has to run around and catch them but they are randomly positioned in one place and come down too fast do you reckon you could help me fix that i just wanted to make a quick game but it seems to be more than i bargained for lol
so basically all of the game works
except for the main part
lol
hers is the ****ty code
Code:
white = Color.new(255,255,255)
Mario = Image.load("mario.png")
Coin = Image.load("coin.png")
result = false
current_coin = 0
direction = down
timer = Timer.new()
timer:start()
mario = { x = 100, y = 272 - Mario:height(), img = Mario }
coin = { x = math.random(480), y = 0, img = Coin }
coins = { }
for coin_no = 1, 50 do
coins[coin_no] = { pic = coin.img, falling = false, direction = down, x = coin.x, y = coin.y + 5}
end
function coins_setup()
if current_coin < 50 then
current_coin = current_coin + 1
else
current_coin = 1
end
if direction == down then
coins[current_coin].x = coin.x
coins[current_coin].y = coin.y + 5
end
coins[current_coin].direction = down
coins[current_coin].falling = true
end
function coins_fall()
for i = 1, 50 do
if coins[i].falling == true then
if coins[i].direction == down then
coins[i].y = coins[i].y + 10
screen:blit(coins[i].x, coins[i].y, coins[i].pic)
end
if coins[i].y > 272 then
coins[i].falling = false
end
end
end
end
score = 0
oldpad = Controls.read()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()
screen:clear()
screen:print(315, 0, 4 - math.floor(timer:time() / 1000) .. " Seconds remaining!", white)
screen:blit(mario.x, mario.y, mario.img)
direction = down
coins_setup()
coins_fall()
coins.falling = true
if mario.x < 0 then
mario.x = 1
end
if mario.x > 480 - Mario:width() then
mario.x = 479 - Mario:width()
end
if pad:left() then
mario.x = mario.x - 5
end
if pad:right() then
mario.x = mario.x + 5
end
if coin.x > mario.x and coin.x < mario.x + Mario:width() then
score = score + 1
end
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
if score >= 20 then
result = true
end
if timer:time() >= 4000 then
timer:stop()
return result
end
oldpad = pad
