Global variables - created

4ian — 2012-05-17T18:00:46+02:00

You can declare variables and their initial values for any variable type: Global variables, scenes variables or objects variables. Variables can be used in events without declaring them, but declaring variables allows to attribute initial values and declared variables are more efficient than not declared variables when used intensively in events.

The Network Extension

4ian — 2012-05-16T20:34:56+02:00

The Network extension allows inter-game communication, for example to create multiplayer games. How a network works In order to communicate on a network, a computer needs an IP address and a port. IP addresses uniquely identify network interfaces, while ports specify the desired kind of communication. IP addresses and ports are together referred to as sockets, and two or more sockets can communicate with each other thanks to the TCP/IP protocol stack.

Sprite objects consist of images and animations and are very popular in games. Each animation can represent for example a state of the object (running, walking, exploding...). An animation is itself composed of directions, corresponding to the angle of the object (looking left, right, etc...). Sprites can display a large variety of game components such as characters, platforms and user interface elements.
