Marvel Super Heroes - mshu(mj_08-14-08)

WIP. This is what I have done so far. I would love to make a particle animation with random gems floating around the screen. I have no idea how to do that though. Something like the Puzzle Bobble theme. Any tips on how to do that?

Nice work! Do you have Flash? Putting together the particle artwork is pretty easy. The XML is trickier if you want to edit it but you can just copy and paste code from Dr. Mario or something as a starter.

Forgive my ignorance, because I have never played this game...but what do gems have to do with the game?

Also, FYI, I change the name of your theme in the thread. Make sure you follow the naming conventions in the sticky up top. Dashes in between dates, not slashes...and no spaces.

Nice work...can't wait to see what you come up with next.

The gems were used during the fight to give your character special abilities. Gems were:

Power :
Gives the character increased attack strength.
Time:
Speeds up the character's movements.
Space:
Gives the character increased defense.
Reality:
Causes elemental attacks such as flames, icicles, and lightning bolts to accompany the character's regular attacks.
Soul:
Causes the character to regenerate health.
Mind:
Causes the character to regenerate their super attack gauge.

Thanos super-attacks are named after each gem he uses for the attack:

Okay..thanks for the info. I will let you know how it goes.

Okay. Here is a download link to the Flash file:

You want to put this in the particle folder. Then add this line of code to your mshu theme xml.

<particle onoff="on"
depth="artwork4"
ppm="50"
x="0"
y="-150"
width="1024"
height="1"
movement="true"
speed="150,450"
angle="90,90"
randomFrame="true"
startScale=""
limit=""
gravity=""
accel=""
fade=""
bound=""
pointSwarm=""
xOscillate=""
rotate=""
scale=""
lifespan="5000"
/>

Add it after your artwork layers but make sure it precedes </Theme> which closes the code up.

Then try running it. It should be exactly like Dr. Mario except with the jewels. You then have a base to work from. If you want them to be in the background as opposed to the foreground, change depth="artwork4" to depth="artwork1". Play around with the setting if you want. Let me know how it goes.

looks rly good, but it looks a bit empty w/ just Thanos on the right side.....maybe add some super heroes or maybe push him out more towards the center of the screen? the gems should look good after u add them. The space where the stone statue of Drax is looks a bit empty as well?

just my 2 cents.....

Looks great, you should be able to submit it sometime today.

The theme XML file refers to file in Artwork1 directory but the zip file is missing the picture file. Was something left out of the zip accidentally?
