Thanks, Daylyn. The link was available for over a year, but i was just asked by Teletoon Canada to remove it, because they are planning to air the show soon. Once Teletoon posts the game on their site, i will link to it from here.

Kikei – you got it, Pontiac. The character movieclip has all eight directions in it. On every frame, i look at the angle between the mouse and the character’s registration point. Then i think of a compass: if the mouse is North (plus or minus 15 degrees leeway), character faces North. Same deal for the other cardinal directions. And since the character has 8 facing positions, i can point him to the Northeast, Southeast, Northwest and Southwest.

So it’s not really about which direction the mouse is going in. If each frame is a snapshot, and everything stays still on a frame, i’m just looking at the compass relationship between the mouse pointer and the character.

I’m curious, how did you get your character to change state based on the direction the mouse was going in? Did you have the different states defined in one MC or swap them over? This is something that boggles me – mouse following, I can do, but not get it to change direction and such.

Yes! We developed these games in February. i could have grown, like, six moustaches since then.
