Wow! This is amazing! Thanks for taking the time to make this AllanR. This question had me very curious.

If you do some searching on the forums, you can probably find some decent example caps to get you started. Game design and coding is not easy but practice makes perfect. If you're making you first game by yourself or with few people, keep the scale small.

Here are some examples of 2D beat-em-up I've found and saved. They're really just a way to help you get started. Much work is ahead of you if you want to actually create a 2D beat 'em up.

Hey all! Ok, so I'm trying to make a space invaders clone and an important function freezes after I've restarted the layout/gone back to the same layout. I've done some trouble-shooting and I think it's freezing because of a wait in the function. I found more info on this but I'm unsure how to implement the work around the tutorial mentions.

Here's a capx and pic of the code with the problem (I think.)

Essentially, I want the player to be able to pause the game while playing and be able to press the "Home" button to go back to the main menu. I can do this but if I try to replay level one , the game function freezes. How could I properly code this so it doesn't freeze and is reusable for multiple levels.

Hey all. I know there's the expression random(0,3) to select a random numbers. But I'm not sure how to do the same with text variables? Is that even possible? I'm trying to make an enemy spawn and moveto either location 1, 2 or 3 essentially. I'm using Rex moveto plugin for this. Thanks for checking out this post. Here's the code!
