OOOOOOOOOHHHHH I just got an Idea!!!!

(Also, you know that using multiple lines really helps people read your paragraphs, right?)

Anyway, my idea is basically you can shoot out the little orgs to kill the enemies, but then you can also pick them up if the enemy doesn't kill them or you miss.

But you grow by gobbling up the little germs who are attacking you! I'll get to work.

I like the size idea! I'll do that too. Meanwhile, can you make some germ vector art? I was thinking of making them a green-ish yellowy color like mucus. Although different colors and shapes would be good too for different enemies and things.

I'll just start working on it lol!

I’ll start working on the art!

That also sounds like a really cool idea, and I just saw all the changes! It looks soooo good!
Just…a little laggy. lol

BTW - The mobile controls are quite nice, I just wonder how we would add in aiming… (the shooting part)

Ohhh I just figured out how to shoot!

Ahhh! Bro, you used “for each” hacked block…what? lol

Anyways, I’m going to bed now. I’ll update more in the morning.

Goodnight

Yeah . . . the for each block is nice. It automatically sets the variable to 1, and then increments it the set amount of times!
It gets rid of two blocks and

And here's the scratchblocks for it!

for each [i1 v] in (30) {
move (i1) steps
} ::control

for each [i1 v] in (30) {
move (i1) steps
} ::control

Yeah, I know! I just wish you could set the variable in that “for each” block beforehand…can you?

I’m adding multitouch input for mobile controls.
I also cleaned up the code a bit; I think I understand what most of it does and how it does it.

The “Soft Body” sprite I don’t really understand though…could you explain it?

I’ve also updated a few things, and I’m going to be adding in a main menu.

Maybe we can add a shop later?

Soft body sprites are for setting up the soft body physics… I think

Ok. let me explain two things:


with the

for each [i1 v] in (30) {
move (i1) steps
} ::control

block,you can set which variable with the dropdown. You can also say,

for each [i1 v] in (30) {
move ((i1) + (5)) steps
} ::control

this effectively makes it so the variable starts at 6 and goes to 36.






With the Soft Body Physics sprite in the survival game, it basically just draws the soft body around the player sprite and logs all the “node” x,y co-ordinates to lists. There's a different sprite which draws all the little dots.

I technically didn't write the soft body code but I don't remember where it came from and have edited it quite a bit to include other things.

I know that, I just don’t know how it works.

Ohhhh, that makes sense! Thanks.

The sprite isn't exactly for setting it up, it's actually drawing it too. Basically it's just a list containing all the distances from the center for different points, and then it goes a draws it, while calculating and adjusting at the same time.


Edit: Also, how's that art going?
At the moment it's all by me!

We should put a turbowarp link because it's REALLY laggy and slow for me.

Sorry! I’ve been really busy irl…if you want, you can take all the credit for this jam, I don’t think I’m going to have the time to do much for a while.

I’ve added a few things though…not much.



Also, yeah. We should put a Turbowarp link.

Hmmm, I'll add a link. Is it still laggy? I found a big bug where a list had 25,000+ pointless items when all it needed was 300 . . .
And the iterator was checking through all of them . . .

I just realized something: the red is a spawner (or at least the location in which the enemies spawn). That gives me an idea for multiple levels…and a bit of a story, but not really.

Anyways, here goes:

- The human you live in constantly keeps getting cut up…you have to collect all the resources to patch up the cuts.
- Bacteria & Viruses enter through this massive hole, and obliterated every other defensive cell in your body.
- You need to fight, not only to Survive, but to conquer.
- Oh, and you might have to mutate your cell to help out with that. That’ll be upgrades.

BTW ~ That bug is also causing me lag…up to 48,700 iterations in “Node X” & “Node Y”

My parents just jumped me with going on a road trip…won’t be back for a few days. See ya guys!

Have fun! (PS: Any idea where you are going?)
