I would like to make a Lode Runner-type game for two players. I am in my 30 day eval of MMF and want to see what is possible before I commit to buy. I have gone through the Choco-Break tutorial, but now I don't know where to go next. When I set up the player's movement, do I use Platform or 8-direction? I think that designing the different levels will be easy, but I am not sure how to do jumping, picking up objects, movement of the computer-controlled players, etc. Can someone point me to a tutorial that will help or a quick task list like: 1) create player1 and 2 as action object with movement set to x. 2) Add a keyboard event for the right arrow to set player1's direction to right. etc. Also, can the Joypad object handle two players? Much thanks.
Just so you know, the 30-day trial never runs out, so you've got all the time in the world to figure it out. Oh, and don't add jumping to Lode Runner... that'd ruin it.
Whatever you do, start off small - even Lode Runner is difficult to recreate because of the grid movement. Try making a very simple game first, and work up from there.
