This article outlines the steps involved in developing a simple Puzzle Slider game using director. The first step involves importing the image cut into nine parts of equal sizes. After importing of cast members is done, place all the nine cast members onto the stage in jumbled order in the grid on the stage. Place two buttons on stage with the caption “Reset” and “Done”. Now, we are all set to kick- start the coding part.. In startmovie method, declaration of all the global variables and initialization of the variables is done. Global variables for mouse click count (msclk) , sprite numbers of the two sprites to be swapped, x and y co-ordinates of the two sprites to be swapped, x and y co-ordinates of the all the sprites is declared and initialized. -- Declaring global variables and initialization of variables global msclk,pic1x,pic1y,pic2x,pic2y,spnum1,spnum2 global s1H,s1V,s2H,s2V,s3H,s3V,s4H,s4V,s5H,s5V,s6H,s6V,s7H,s7V,s8H,s8V,s9H,s9V
on startmovie me
msclk=0 pic1x=0 pic1y=0 pic2x=0 pic2y=0 spnum1=0 spnum2=0
-- Storing the initial co-ordinates of sprites s1H=sprite(1).locH s1V=sprite(1).locV s2H=sprite(2).locH s2V=sprite(2).locV s3H=sprite(3).locH s3V=sprite(3).locV s4H=sprite(4).locH s4V=sprite(4).locV s5H=sprite(5).locH s5V=sprite(5).locV s6H=sprite(6).locH s6V=sprite(6).locV s7H=sprite(7).locH s7V=sprite(7).locV s8H=sprite(8).locH s8V=sprite(8).locV s9H=sprite(9).locH s9V=sprite(9).locV
end The first and second mouse-clicked image sprites are swapped everytime. Whenever any mouse-click operation on the image sprite is performed, the below mentioned mouseup method is executed. The msclk variable keeps the count of the mousle-click for two sprites being swapped and is reset after every swap operation. Whenever user clicks on any image sprite, the x and y co-ordinates and the sprite number of the sprites is stored. After clicking on the second image sprite, the swapping of the two image sprites is done. The x and y co-ordinates of these to sprites are exchanged and msclk variable is reset. on mouseUp me if msclk = 0 then msclk = 1 -- Storing the values of co-ordinates of the mouse-click on the first sprite for swapping pic1x = sprite(me.spritenum).locH pic1y = sprite(me.spritenum).locV
spnum1 = sprite(me.spritenum).spriteNum
else if msclk =1 then msclk = 2 -- Storing the values of co-ordinates of the mouse-click on the second sprite for swapping pic2x = sprite(me.spritenum).locH pic2y = sprite(me.spritenum).locV
spnum2 = sprite(me.spritenum).spriteNum
-- swapping the co-ordinate postions of the sprites sprite(spnum2).locH = pic1x sprite(spnum2).locV = pic1y
sprite(spnum1).locH = pic2x sprite(spnum1).locV = pic2y
msclk = 0
else msclk=0 end if end When player is done with the puzzle and clicks on the “Done” button, the click me method is executed. The current x and y co-ordinates of all the nine sprites are compared with the actual x and y co-ordinates to check if the player has cracked the puzzle. If they match, the player is intimated by a dialog displaying “Congrats!!!” otherwise a dialog displaying “Better luck next time” is displayed. on click me -- Comparing the current co-ordinates when user clicks on done button with the correct co-ordinates if (sprite(1).locH=100 and sprite(1).locV=75 and sprite(2).locH=165 and sprite(2).locV=75 and sprite(3).locH=230 and sprite(3).locV=75 and sprite(4).locH=230 and sprite(4).locV=125 and sprite(5).locH=165 and sprite(5).locV=125 and sprite(6).locH=100 and sprite(6).locV=125 and sprite(7).locH=165 and sprite(7).locV=175 and sprite(8).locH=230 and sprite(8).locV=175 and sprite(9).locH=100 and sprite(9).locV=175) then
alert ("Congrats!!!!!!!!") sound(1).play(member("win"))
else
alert ("Better luck next time")
end if
end When player clicks the “Reset” button, all the image sprites take up the jumbled positions again and everything is set for the player to solve the puzzleslider game again. The click me method is executed when player clicks on the “Reset” button and all the image sprites are assigned the x and y co-ordinates stored initially for the jumbled up positions. Also, other global variables are reset. Feedback: |
