I'm liking the concept of the charge and jump style game. I can really see it going somewhere. Great start.

There are no official vehicles yet. You may want to seek out an artist if the stuff we've provided already isn't working for you.

I'll talk to the musician and see if he'll post an mp3 for you guys.

Are the prizes given out to the ones with the highest score on newgrounds or are you Wiggas (lol) gonna decide on who wins?

We'll be choosing the winners ourselves.

Yay my game got a 3.55 for the wiggi contest! :D

Would it be possible to use something like _root.game instead of _root?

all you have to do is pretty much replace _root. with _parent.

Do all games have to have a scoring system? You said you'd like to see some more complicated games, so I was going to make a small RPG/Adventure game. I'm not sure how I could intregate score though. Could I just have a game with no Wiggi Points involved?

Nope, _root is not allowed AT ALL...read earlier in this thread for an explanation of why and how to avoid using it.

Yes all games must pass over to us some sort of score...this could be level based in an rpg...the score doesn't have to be "50000," it could be "12" or whatever...there are lots of ways to tie a score into any game...even larger ones or rpgs.

One of the smaller games i'm working on involves a tweened looping bg. It looks kinda of choppy though which I believe is beacuse of the low frame rate.

Anyway know a way round this? Besides playing with the number of frames it takes to tween because i've tried that.

Okay, so I'm trying my hand at making a game. This is the first time I have ever done a game on my own, so it is very tricky. I am trying to make a whack-a-mole like game. I am using this tutorial, and I am stuck on page 4.

Whenever I export it however, I keep getting the following error:
**Error** Symbol=Hole1, layer=button, frame=13:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (press) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

If you know how / where I messed up, that would really be appreciated.

Is the code there thats causing the error actually on a button or on the timeline somwhere? you need to have this code on a button

You could try switching the control of the play-head over to actionScript. Basicallyu, make actionScript do the work of either playing the next frame or changing the x/y coordinates of the graphic elements and controlling the looping. I find that Flash sometimes uses a good bit of overhead to do its tweens and animations.

concerning the "_root." situation ... am I able to use it to declare constants such as "_root._xmouse"?

That one probably won't matter, but you can do the same thing with relative targeting so I'd suggest you do that instead.

Hey BoMToons. My question is, if I am in Canada, am I still able to win the cash?

Also one more important thing. Could you have the Wiggi World pre-loader Fla. converted to Flash MX? I can't access it without a conversion to MX. MX is just an earlier version of Flash.

Under the large preloader image on the contest page there is a flash MX template. Use that...

Woah, how could I have missed this contest? I'm gonna start right away!

Damn.

Anyways, at least in this one you can't be accused of being racist :P

Yes, as long as you can cash an american check somewhere.

As mentioned above, it's available on the contest page, just a bit hidden.

i'd like to team up as an artist with you, hit me up with a pm if you're interested. i have some ideas that incorporate your charge jump engine here.

Rather random, but I designed a new logo for your game. Let me know if you like it.

Cool looking, but personally seems like there's an overuse of filters (especially bevel filter)

Here's my entry so far.

It's just the tutorial/first level.

What do people think?

Feels too slow, may be lag. But the jumping seems to be like lowgravity and I don't like it.
The actual BG graphics suck, and make it look worse than it is. Also, it doesn't continue the style of the wiggi. You need graphics with bold lines, highlights and shadows.
Hittest with coins is a little limited. Should be easier.
On all the slopes he kinda jigs down them. Looks bad.

Fix these things and you'll be starting to make a great game.

BoMToons, just a quick question.
I've played on the site, and there is a lot of well, propaganda about relationships.
Are we allowed to have a relationships between wiggies in the games we are making?
We want to make a game where you have to save your boyfriend or girlfriend (depending on the character you choose).
Are we allowed to refer to them as girlfriend/boyfriend?

Is there a listing anywhere of completed entries so far? I got bored, so i decided to give it a shot as a side project, and i was just wondering how badly i'm going to get owned.

I came up with yet another odd concept, which maybe isn't too great for small children, but oh well. It helps to teach arithmetic... and if i knock the difficultly setting up a notch (or ten) it becomes near impossible even for me, so hopefully it will still have some relevance on newgrounds =]
