Articles from the EffectGames.com website Effect Engine 68 http://www.effectgames.com http://www.effectgames.com/images/logo_80.gif 80 Move groups of sprites as one. Good for making games like Space Invaders where sprites need to move together. Let me know if anyone finds it useful or sees any problems. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Effect_Sprite_Group_script http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Effect_Sprite_Group_script Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:57:08 GMT This script removes the header, darkens the background, and removes the scrollbars. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/A_new_Quick_Play_display http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/A_new_Quick_Play_display Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:32:55 GMT I really like this whole system of tools all in one website to create games with. It's so new and interesting to have this entire process live online. As I was doing my first game I started to think of ideas and wanted to throw them out there. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Effect_Game_Engine_is_awesome_I_wish_it http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Effect_Game_Engine_is_awesome_I_wish_it Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:45:28 GMT Hello everyone. I only signed up to this site today to see what it's all about but an idea just occurred to me and I'm going to throw it out there... http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Can_I_steal_your_game_Please http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Can_I_steal_your_game_Please Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:08:03 GMT Say I am using a particularly named sprite plane ("spritePlane") that I eventually detach from Effect.Port. In the process of using this plane (prior to detachment), I add an event listener for "onMouseDown" that does a lookup on sprites in that plane. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Removing_onMouseDown_event_listener_from http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Removing_onMouseDown_event_listener_from Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:43:15 GMT Is this the correct place to ask developer questions?

It will be realesed very soon on this site and on qwerty.com. The game will be free on this site but on QWERTY.com it might be $1 because of more levels and better graphics. If you want more info watch the video on the Emopanda345 game. I am halfway finished with the game. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Emopanda345_game http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Emopanda345_game Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:53:52 GMT PROCURASSE TRADUTORES: http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/TRADUTORES_TRANSLATORS http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/TRADUTORES_TRANSLATORS Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:40:08 GMT Corrida http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Jgos http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Jgos Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:08:20 GMT Lok BR Esta Previsto Para Iniciar Corretamente De 2010 a 2012 . http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Lok_BR_O_Inicio http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Lok_BR_O_Inicio Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:18:22 GMT Well, like it said, I am new to Effect Games, and am an experienced game maker, but for a while now, have not touched game making in about a year now, maybe two. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/New_to_the_place http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/New_to_the_place Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:02:11 GMT I am looking for folks either to collaborate with or who'd like to collaborate with me. My next project is going to be a Pacman clone, but really I'm up for anything interesting. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Collaboration http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Collaboration Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:10:49 GMT I've cloned Puzzle Blox and made it open to the public. It has a few more levels for "Small Blox" since the last release. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Open_Puzzle_Blox http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Open_Puzzle_Blox Sun, 24 Jan 2010 01:47:23 GMT luta lutaluta http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/luta_no_espa_o http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/luta_no_espa_o Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:37:07 GMT I have spent the last week hacking around on Effect Games to learn the API. I decided to create the well-known sliding block style puzzle game as the task to base my learning around. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Puzzle_Blox_alpha_release http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Puzzle_Blox_alpha_release Sat, 16 Jan 2010 13:47:44 GMT I really dig EffectGames and I know that it takes a community to really make a technology come alive. You have to win hearts as well as minds! So I created a 3rd party forum called Effect Games Developers http://effectgamesdev.50.forumer.com/ http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/New_3rd_party_forum_Effect_Games_Develop http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/New_3rd_party_forum_Effect_Games_Develop Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:43:11 GMT The best way to learn something is to try to describe it to someone else. So I'm going to try to build a sample game and describe how I did it in my blog. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/working_on_tutorials http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/working_on_tutorials Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:40:41 GMT If not the most difficult part of building a game, graphics are certainly the most time consuming. Instead of speaking in broad terms about workflow and complimentary skill sets, or waxing poetic about art styles and visual design, I'll just share a couple of quick tips on how Gold Cartridge (when we at Effect Games wear our "game designer" hats) go about it: http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/But_What_About_the_Art http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/But_What_About_the_Art Thu, 31 Dec 2009 08:09:49 GMT Buenas! Anteriormente habiamos puesto el post pero fue borrado por dudas de que si era o no un spam, pero tras corrregir el error lo reposteamos. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Buscando_Programadores http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Buscando_Programadores Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:58:59 GMT Is it possible to load a sprite with an image on a different server? Say, for a player to set their own avatar in-game? http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Remote_Images http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Remote_Images Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:27:19 GMT I needed a drop down menu for one of my games and I thought I'd share the result should anyone else want to use it. It is fairly simple but effective. I'll post more code samples as I make more widgets and other useful things. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Widgets_Simple_Drop_Down_Menu http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Widgets_Simple_Drop_Down_Menu Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:01:58 GMT First off, this site is absolutely amazing. I've been looking for something like this for a while as I absolutely detested the idea of doing my games in Flash. Anyway, the whole thing has worked wonderfully thus far. Great job! http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Widgets http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Widgets Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:06:46 GMT This all looks awesome! I do browser-based games myself, so I know how tricky this sort of stuff can be (I don't actually support IE6), and I have to say kudos for what you've accomplished so far. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Licensing_and_Data http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/community/Licensing_and_Data Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:26:05 GMT The Community Blog is open to all EffectGames.com users.
