Bluesir9 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 So i wish to build a game like canabalt or as they call it an infinite runner. I am working on the Phaser framework. How can i create random platforms to be generated ahead of me as the screen scrolls. I am a beginner at this so i couldnt figure it out quite much. Also how can i handle the screen scrolling?

rich Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I would have a look at the numerous flappy bird clones / tutorials out there - the concept they use for spawning and re-using pipes could work equally well for an endless runner.

Vidsneezes Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I always thought if i were to create a infinite scroller like canabalt. I would use a graph with multiple nodes viewport plus two in the extremes then send a platform from a starting point (most likely infront of the player and outside the viewport). this way i can give unique logic to the plaforms as they pass the nodes inside the viewport. Yea this is what i would do. If it makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
