Poke the Penguin v1.0.1

[RobertsAccount]

Ok, so here it is! I know a couple of you have been waiting for this... Poke the Penguin!

Basically, you poke the penguin until it finally gets REALLY angry and explodes. With any luck it should explode at a random time so as to have the element of suprise!

Many thanks to Habhome and Gruffler, who have helped me understand LUA and how it works

Version 1.0.1, no known issues. Feedback is appreciated

i founded you an issue.

you need to add the :close() to all the stuff because when you quit the error thing comes up as im sure habhome will tell you

other than that, absolutely amazing. much better quality than i thought it would be. add the reactions in!

Hmm... I don't get that error on the player
I'll talk to Hab and see what he has to say...

Update: This time it should close all the images, meaning no error message when you quit the app

Not closing images doesn't result in an error message. Those images just stay in the memory (I think) which can cause other problems with the player's UI. Therefore you need to close them.

It doesn't directly affect the app itself, so that error message has another cause.

EDIT: Ah you've fixed it already, great

Actual proper update: Fixed stuff Cheers Habhome

love it but maybe you could give the pinguin more things to take "revenge"
in this online version there are couple of things he can do

This is on my mind Dazana, probably won't happen for a while... But it will

[Dazana]

take your time

I suspect that the error message was a random firmware flunk, but the images still should be closed properly.

Though I'm not sure if "list:close()", works or if you have to loop through the list and close the elements separately.
"for i=1, #list do
list[i]:close()
end"
It is now changed to individual closing just to be on the safe side.
And due to a mistake while transferring files between me and Robs the explosion sound have reverted back to the old one I think. The file accidentally got lost and deleted into cyberspace, so it'll have to be re-made.

[Gruffler]

I think that the explosionsound isn't really played when the penguin explodes it's a second after that...
and the first touch when opening it is not recognized
and the penguin first time explodes always after 6 touches

:edit:
found the solutions
shall I tell you or do you want to find them yourself?

Fire away Gruffler

1. explosionsound: the sound has a pause at the beginning and is played when the animation starts
solution : cut the wav and play it when frame5 is updated (first explosion image)
2. first touch: ended is nil and not false the first time it performs click() so "ended ~= true" is better than "ended == false" :P
solution: use "ended ~= true"
3.penguin explodes first time after 6 touches because "goal = math.random(6,25)" is called before "math.randomseed(os.time())"
solution : call "goal = math.random(6,25)" after math.randomseed(os.time())"

attached main.lua and explode.wav

[Habhome]

Another solution for the ended issue would be to just declare the variable as false in the beginning. I always declare my variable's initial value instead of letting the app set them after one loop or something.

2 questions pour toi:

how did you capture the different frames of the animation from the computer?

May i attempt to add my own ending to the poking?

I simply took print screens of the different frames of the flash game
And yes, you may use your own images, post it here when you're done!

[Mr Wunderbar]

print screens!?

ok... that sounds...challenging. I'll give it a go...

how did you manage to take them so well? I can't manage to press it quickly enough in order to get enough good pics
