We managed to get a huge chunk of code (only AS2) out of the way today, funny thing is all the concepts are coming back and this is getting so much easier to do! Anyways we’ve started changing Annie’s happiness levels now so dont annoy her.
Below is a look at the code we have used:
else if (happiness >= 1 and happiness <= 10){
speed = 2;
_root.cell._alpha=10;
myColor.setRGB(0×333333);
}else if (happiness >= 11 and happiness <= 20){
speed = 4
_root.cell._alpha=20;
myColor.setRGB(0×000033);
}else if (happiness >= 21 and happiness <= 30){
speed = 6
_root.cell._alpha=30;
myColor.setRGB(0×003366);
}
This part of code is just a small bit, there are obviously else of statements for the rest of the happiness (goes up to a maximum of 100).
Depending on the happiness level of Annie determines:
- how fast it moves
- how transparent it is
- what colour it is
We have created happiness to be affected by pretty much everything the user does, so it is a very ‘sensitive’ organism. If you lie to Annie it will become unhappy…
Next we’re going to look at getting a getsystem time function.
