I need 1 on 1 private help.

I have a lot of questions on a project I need to complete in a few days. I would really love some help from someone who is particularly savvy in processing.

Some questions:

How do I make bubbles come out of a moving objects mouth and float up around a random number of them coming out each time they reach the top of the screen? (3 max) How do I move the object up or down with a 30% movement in the opposite direction? How do I keep score so that if it passes the one hole in the middle you get a point and the game resets without resetting the score? and if it hits the barriers on the top and bottom you lose a point including negative numbers and it resets without resetting the score? How do I make the flashing random colors on the object slow down?

I have the score somewhat working, once I start the program the score starts moving even though it hasn't passed the hole. The bubbles are moving but from the bottom corner to the top 1 by 1, not from the mouth and not in random numbers.

Please no one link me to that flappy bird code, it hurts my brain. Explaining it here would be awesome.

did you search fish on the forum?

There are at least two threads from guys from your class.

Chrisir

but if you post your code, I can lead you thru

Thanks for the comment Chris, is there a way we could do this privately? Through email or Pming?

Thanks again! :)

I don't get

How do I move the object up or down with a 30% movement in the opposite direction?

do you mean the fish?

do you mean up and down?

and why opposite direction? Against the bubbles? No....

Chrisir

you should have a global var int score = 0;

How do I keep score so that if it passes the one hole in the middle you get a point and the game resets without resetting the score?

yeah you need to check the fish position against the hole and set the fishX to 0 then

and if it hits the barriers on the top and bottom you lose a point including negative numbers and it resets without resetting the score?

test the fish pos Y when it collides with the boundary, you reset the fishPos X and Y and change the score

How do I make the flashing random colors on the object slow down?

you need to store the color in a grid (a 2D array, see tutorial) and a timer for making the change in that grid

Chrisir

once I start the program the score starts moving even though it hasn't passed the hole.

you need to make it so that the score gets only higher when in the hole

Chrisir

regarding the architecture of your program you should either turn to OOP and make a class Fish

or use functions like drawFish() etc. to make draw() short and better readable

Chrisir

how far are you?
