Creating a Runner game for ios

Hi All,
i'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this but any help or a point in the right direction would be great.
Basically I want to know if an infinite runner game can be created in flash for IOS iPhones.
If it can, can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial. I have experience in web design but I only have a basic knowledge of Flash.
I need a tutorial on creating an infinite runner as I don't know where to start.
Thanks you for the help!
Cheers,
Alex

Sorry I should point out I have Flash CS6.
Thanks Again

Create a Multiplayer game for Android/iOS using flash?

Hi guys,
We're creating a flash - turn based game for iphone and android using flash builider (flex) and actionscript 3. We've built the game and have a working Ai and are now trying to figure out how we can provide multiplayer support on iOS and Android.
As far as Im aware there are the following options:
- Serversocket (although apparently this doesnt work with mobiles.
- p2p with native air plugin (although I understand that this requires a database as well as the build of a front end connect to players)
- apparently there is a new way with html - whereby two players can exchange data over a website without the need for a server.
- Third party package like appwarp?
This is driving me crazy as I understand the principle - i.e. send data from one mobile to a database - database fires message to opposing player - updates state of game on both mobile and on the server.
All we want is a turn based game that sends a simple string of code with the moves between two devices. Is there any way of doing this for mobile (Android and ios) using flash and actionscript 3, or flash builder - without using a database?
Can anyone recommend a straight forward way to do this?
If not - Im actually thinking of taking the finished game to a company and asking them to host the servers and port the game to android and ios for a cut of the royalties. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for you help on advance,
T.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for you kind response.
Do you know how to use air 3.8 to create multiplayer for iOS android? It's frustrating, it's a basic turn based game so all we really need is to send 1 line of code containing a move between two devices which then changes the graphics. I've done something like this before using a MySQL server.
I have a MySQL service on my hosting package for my domain, not sure whether I could use this?
As far as I'm aware theres now an option in HTML 5 to do thus kind of thing without a server and swap data directly through a web address.
Do you know roughly how much a small server costs to run?
We're basically trying to get this on ios, android and desktop mac and pc. We also want to launch it through steam nd allow people to play each other via the steam network. Do you know or know anyone that knows about this kind of stuff?
Thanks again, for your email. Where are you based?

Creating a email extension for ios... it keeps flipping the orientation of the app when closing.

I know, if I need help I should go post on some apple board... but it's information overflow.... and I am not 100% sure it's related to the extension.
Here's the problem
I am creating/using an extension to open the MFMailComposeViewController.
Now, I figured out how to open it and force it to landscape, but the problem is when I close the email it, my app flips upside down. (landscape left when it was landscape right before, or vice versa)
My app is set to force landscape left and right... and the mail controller does open in landscape... but it's either upside down (landscape right, when the app is left, or vice versa) or when it closes, it flips the application the other way.
Has anyone encountered anything like this and ideas on how to fix it?
My app publish settings, I set to landscape, auto-orient is set to false and it's full screen,
However, on start up in code... I am setting stage.autoOrients = true and then using the CustomOrientation.as to control the rotation (to force landscape only)
in my extension, I am showing the MFMailComposeViewController in the
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewcontroller] presentModalViewcontroller:mailCompser animated:NO];
and mailCompser is a subclassed MFMailComposeViewcontroller object and I have set it's override to this:
@implementation MailCompose
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientati on {
return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
When I launch my app, it starts
stage.orientation = rotatedRight
I then launch my extension and the email page for ios appears, in the correct orientation.... if I rotate the device, both the email and the app rotate to rotatedRight or rotatedLeft correctly.
I then click Cancel, delete draft
The email window disappears, but now my screen is landscape left.... if I wiggle the device, the sensor picks it up and then rotates the app back right, but this is a major problem.
I am thinking it has something to do with the rootViewController orienatation, but I don't know enough about objC and xcode to know what to do.
I have tried googling and searching will little to no luck... but then, the answer could be staring at me and I would have missed it as I am an obj c noob.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi,
I had the same problem and found the following workaround: apart from overriding MFMailComposeViewController's shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation, I also added implementations for
_preferredInterfaceOrientationGivenCurrentOrientation
and
_isSupportedInterfaceOrientation
in a category of UIViewController in the native code.
Then, in the Actionscript code, added an event listener for StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING (with high priority and use_capture = true) in Actionscript to prevent resizing of the stage, which can occur even if the orientation doesn’t change.
This fixed it for me, but, as it messes with UIViewController, it makes it tricky to have views which have different orientation behaviour (if you want one view to be able to rotate in all directions, but others only to support Landscape, for example).
I've posted details and example code here: http://blog.diadraw.com/native-extensions-for-mobile-air-apps-getting-round-the-orientatio n-issue/

Help with Creating a Jeopardy Game for Classroom Teacher

Hi,
I am a middle school teacher and would like to create a Flash Jeopardy game for the teachers at our school to use on our school website. I would like a game similar to the game on http://www.superteachertools.com/jeopardy/.
I have been able to successfully create a flash jeopardy game that uses a xml file. My problem is that I have to have a swf file and an xml file for every game we create. I want to be able to have one swf file that will load many different Jeopardy games.
I am using Flash CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, and MySQL. The files I have created are here: http://www.marylynnewilliams.com/MaryLynneWilliams/test/DownloadZIP/JeopardyGames.php
There is also a zip file: http://www.marylynnewilliams.com/MaryLynneWilliams/test/DownloadZIP/Jeopardy.zip
If anyone has time to help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mary Lynne

Hi
I've had a look at your zip files, and with the best will in the world what your asking for is way beyond what one individual here is willing to invest.
First of all, this is AS2.0 on the Timeline, most Coders don't do this anymore. It's AS3.0 and Classes now.
If your able to invest a little time and patient in learning AS3 the rewards are far greater.
I'm sorry this might not be the answer you where looking for, but it's best you find out now than waiting indefinitely and getting no further with your project.
Best Regards

Can I make a Living by developing apps and games for iOS??

Well, I want to be an iOS developer. I'm a beginner. I just want to know if I could make a living just by developing apps and games for iPhones and iPads?? In about next 5 years, I'll be able to submit my first game. I have my own problems. But can I make a living??

Some devs do quite well, others find it barely worth the effort. Anything is possible, but as noted, it all depends on you.

Can I create albums in iPhoto for iOS

My albums in iPhoto on my MacBook are imported to my iPad. But I can't add photos to the albums, I guess because they were created in iPhoto, not iPhoto for iOS. So I thought I would create the albums on my ipad in iPhoto for iOS, and import the old photos to is, and add new ones. But it doesn't appear that you can create albums in iPhoto iOS. Can this be true?

You create (tagged) albums in iPhoto iOS by tagging. If you want a new album, you create a custom tag with the name of the album you want, and all photos with that tag will appear in your custom album.
Or create regular albums in the Photos.app. All albums created in the Photos.app are visible in iPhoto for iOS:

How to create a multiplayer game for steam using flash/flex?

Hi guys,
We've got a multiplayer game ready to go. Currently it is not multiplayer, but we'd like to get it to a stage where it can be played over the steam network by users of steam and owners of steam games.
We'd like to if anyone could briefly give us a breakdown of how to get out game up on steam and available for multiplayer?
Does steam host servers, and can we utilise a steam server to transfer data between players or would we have to run our own server?
Currently were using flash builder to publish via adobe air to a windows desktop exe. Can anyone briefly explain how - once a player has downloaded the game from steam we can connect two players? Does anyone know how to use actionscript 3 to access steam network?
Anyone have any experience developing multiplayer turn based game for steam using flash /actionscript 3 /adobe air?
Thanks for your help in advance,
i

You would want to use the SteamWorks API, which is available from Steam as a C++ library, but there is most likely an Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that would allow you to use the library in AS3.
I've never used SteamWorks but it seems to support peer-2-peer matchmaking (in other words, you wouldn't even need your own server, I think.)

Possible to create local "update server" for iOS and apps?

I use the software update server in OSX Server to locally cache updates, which speeds them up dramatically.
Unfortunately, the app store is still fairly slow.
Does anyone know if Apple has implemented the same sort of caching or update server for iOS devices? I think I read that there's a semi-transparent cache if you have an AirPort Extreme in your path to the Internet, but I don't and really couldn't even if I wanted to...
Thanks.

If apple would get thier crap together it is supposed to be there already. It is really ******* me off that there little to no effort from apple to get all of this working PRE OS release. Had this worked properly before the OS update schools across the country would probably not been brought to thier knees. I ended up having to block the entier apple domain to keep District Office online.
Here is apples promise at the iOS launch.
http://www.apple.com/ios/business/
Caching Server 2 supports iOS 7.
By caching purchased content and software updates on a local Mac running OS X Mavericks Server, Caching Server 2 speeds up the download and delivery of content through the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore. Your users get faster downloads of content and updates to their iOS devices directly over your corporate network.

Should I create a separate network for iOS devices?

My family and I are leaving the Windows platform and going Mac/Apple. Here's what we have:
3 iPhones, 2 iPads, new iMac (coming from Santa for the kids), new MacBook Pro 15.4 with retina, Roku 3, and possibly thinking of trying Apple TV (to compare to the Roku).
I have wireless internet through ATT U-verse and their 2Wire router. I am getting the Airport Time Capsule 2TB today. My question is...should I setup the airport time capsule as a separate wifi network for all my iOS devices, or should I just extend the current 2WIRE ATT U-verse wireless network? I think the easiest thing to do would be setup the Airport TC in bridge mode to extend the network. But I recall reading a blog post where someone set up a separate network on the Airport TC for all his apple products. This sounded like a great idea because from what I understand, the iOS devices can take advantage of the Airport TC offering a better speed. Of course, I can't find the article anywhere (Murphy's Law). My thought is to keep my work laptop (windows) and the Roku 3 on the 2Wire network and the iOS devices on a separate network.
I'm new to apple products (except the phone haha) so what does the community recommend?
Thanks in advance,
AC

Would the best solution be to extend my current by network running a cable from the LAN port of the uverse router to the WAN port of the airport time capsule? This would create another wireless AP, correct? I simply do what you said...use the same wireless name (SSID), security protocol, and password of the uverse router on the airport time capsule and I'm all set. But I think the airport utility has an option to "Add to an existing network." Is this the setup I should choose? I believe you have reference this kb article in another discussion post. Thanks again for your help.
This is the way I would do it.. but there is no right and wrong here.. just options with different uses..
The cable backbone is ideal.
You are creating another AP.. yes.. and that is why it works.. extend by wireless is slow. You are using wireless in one hop connections.
Everything else is running over fast ethernet or gigabit hopefully.
I am not sure if the add to existing network will work correctly.. if you have the TC plugged in by ethernet it should.. but manual setup of this is trivial.
Bridge the TC as per my previous post.. setup wireless exactly as normal but use same ssid and security setup.. simple to the point of trivial.
Roaming I must add is perfect in theory.. in practice stuff doesn't always swap "towers" the way you idealize.. it stays stuck to the poorer signal when a better one is right next to it.
That is the nature of wifi. A voodoo technology.. 80% black arts. and 50% science.. (in voodoo it has poor maths).

Creating a Java game for Windows

Does anyone know a website or tutorial that provides information to Java developers, regarding the production of games? I would like to create my own chess game in Java for use on a Windows platform.
Thanks

Put a combination of the following key words in your favorite search engine, you should find something :
Java 2D
double buffering
animation
runnable
The main idea in most simple games is to check the state of your game and then to draw that state. You do this once every 25th of a second (the runnable interface lets you do so). This is done over and over again until the end of the game.
If you simply rewrite the paint(Graphics) method of your drawing without implementing double buffering, then you'll get a "flickering" game. How tos on double buffering with Java are all over the net.

Can anyone create some flash games for me? (FOR PAY)

Hello,
I'm looking to create a new website with flash games, most of which need to be multiplayer.
The games I had in mind are a battleship-type game, a pirate's dice game, and a texas holdem game.
I'd also like to have a single player "wheel" that you can spin and win points off.
I'd also like to have a points system where members wager their points over games.
If this sounds like something you can do, please leave your Skype, AIM, MSNM, or YIM or ICQ screenname and I'll contact you.
Please don't PM as I probably won't check that.
Thanks.
Oh and of course I'm not expecting this to be free...

i sent a chat invitation a few minutes ago. check the lower right of your gmail screen or a popunder. if your speakers were on you might have heard a notification noise.
i just sent an email, too.

Create movement like snake for iOS

Hello,
i have this function to create a snake like movement
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function()
          head.x = mouseX;
head.y = mouseY;
tail.graphics.clear();
tail.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0x005e00);
tail.graphics.moveTo(head.x, head.y);
          nodes[0] = {x:head.x, y:head.y};
          for (i=1; i<tail_nodes - 1; i++)
                    var rotation = Math.atan2(nodes[i].y - nodes[i - 1].y, nodes[i].x - nodes[i - 1].x);
                    var pos_x = nodes[i - 1].x + tail_len * Math.cos(rotation);
                    var pos_y = nodes[i - 1].y + tail_len * Math.sin(rotation);
                    nodes[i] = {x:pos_x, y:pos_y};
tail.graphics.lineTo(pos_x, pos_y);
this work perfectly on computer and browser but when i export the ipa file for testing on my ipad it works jerkily (seems like low framerate).
What is wrong? the event.Enter_Frame? any suggestion to create a similar effect?
Thanks,
Stefano

you should use blitting for that.

How can I creating hyperlinks that work for iOS reader?

In a pervious thread the notion that hyperlinks withiin a PDF document deployed on an iPad do not work.
Is there a work around?
Perhaps <www.mysite.com> ?
The Word document is a summary prepared by an author with embeded hyperlinks. Works on the desktop but nothing happens in iOS.

So I use the link tool in Acrobat Pro, add the url, and I'm good to go...
Would be a useful addition in the next release...

Creating new DCIM folder for iOS photos?

Hi all
I've started a regular backup regime on my ipad and iphone of photos direct to my PC. Basically I copy from device to my PC's HDD via Windows Explorer.
I noticed about 5 folders under DCIM on there so I copied them and deleted the 4 oldest on my iPhone so that I still have a running folder of current few months of photos.
But lately I noticed the one folder I still have left on my iPhone is getting bigger and bigger and no new folder is being created.
This has now grown to about 10GB...
What I'd like is to be able to have regular new folders created so I can clean out the older photos in one hit.
I thought I'd do a wipe and restore on my iphone to see if it will change things.. But what it did was create another folder with a different name and all 10GB of photos still under there..
Seems this file system has a mind of its own..
Anyone explain how it works and whether there's a way to force it to create and store photos under a new folder on demand?
Thanks

Same questions.... same lack of answers anywhere. Here are some questions I come up to define this some more. (3rd post in the following link)

Which is better for iOS Game Development, Pro or Air?

I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air. But I want to know which of Pro or Air is good for programming iOS apps. Or maybe Games.
-Is the new 2013 MacBook Air 13" good enough to develop 2D or 3D games for iOS devices?
-Or the Pro is better?
I want to create games for iOS. But I still don't which Macbbok to choose. A little help please? Thanks.

All current Mac, including the Air will run Xcode. The question is what else will you be running at the same time.
If money is an issue, buy a refurb'd Mac mini ($550.00), max the ram (16GB $150) and then get the largest LCD you can afford ($300 will go big). Should be USD$1000 or less by the time you get done and you won't have to work on a crowded screen.
