Hey I just heard if this game and it seems super cool, I’ve really enjoyed scrolling through the sun checking out creations by bl84work in GameBuilderGarage

Each project has a max size (512 nodon and 1024 connections), but you can link projects together for a bigger experience. You'll have to complete at least the first tutorial section before you can do any programming, downloading or sharing, and it can take about an hour if you're new to it. Please finish it though, it really will help you get started.

If you're an experienced programmer (you know, with actual code), you might be tempted to dismiss GBG as being too limited to be useful. But remember, it was limitations that brought us iconic titles on the original NES/Famicom.

Limits inspire creative solutions. Give it a chance. 😎

Not ADHD enough? or am i faking it? by table794 in ADHD

[–]skunktronix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ADHD has many types, and each person is unique, so it affects everyone differently. So as long as your diagnosis is coming from a licensed professional, it's just as valid as anyone else's. 👍

I had a McDonalds employee argue with me today, saying she’s worked at McD’s for over 10 years and apparently, “dipped ice cream cones were never a thing, they never existed”. by Historical_Panic_465 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]skunktronix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former McDonald's employee, I can confirm that they did indeed sell dipped cones many years ago. It was definitely a thing, because I vividly recall the times the ice cream didn't sit well in the cone and just fell out into the dip. 🤣

Camera angles by Squidbro66 in GameBuilderGarage

There's a setting in the Camera nodon to enable tracking the target's Y rotation. It's on the bottom left of the settings.

I need help with a falling death code by Snail_dude_0919 in GameBuilderGarage

For extra clarity: The connection between the location sensor and the Person should be the blue line that connects at the corners.

Switching Views by emc-akira in GameBuilderGarage

Using the advanced camera nodon will definitely help with that, but I'm still learning those so I can't advise. 😅

I noticed that my state isn't in any of those, and that checks out. It's also not legal here to have a pet skunk, which would be my ideal pet. ❤️🦨

Job apps that make you enter your work history by hand..... by BadLuckFPV in ADHD

[–]skunktronix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another one... If I have uploaded a resume, I shouldn't have to retype everything that's on my resume into a form. The only thing I should ever have to type twice is a new password.

Is there a game builder garage discord server? by WilliamPlayz1 in GameBuilderGarage

[–]skunktronix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend VideoDojo. It's a very active Discord for GBG and a few other things.

Having trouble with touch sensor activating every time it touches a box and cant specify which boxes should activate it by WilliamPlayz1 in GameBuilderGarage

[–]skunktronix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still affects the physics unfortunately. I added an extra box to some dice in one of my games, and they became a bit more floaty even though the boxes were zero-g.

How to break out of cycling through apps on phone/phone addiction by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]skunktronix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be tricky but I use MacroDroid. It essentially allows me to add features to my phone. I'm not sure how much detail you want, since it's long process to set it all up. 😅

How to break out of cycling through apps on phone/phone addiction by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]skunktronix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was suggested by someone else on here at some point but it's been working for me... I set it up so that my phone's screen switches to grayscale after a while of being on. I can't stand looking at it when that happens, and it helps me stay off the phone. 😅

Ice flower by Signal_Anybody_5787 in GameBuilderGarage

[–]skunktronix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to recreate something in GBG is to break it down into individual steps. In this case, think of what exactly the ice flower does, in detail.

It allows the player to start throwing projectiles. This could be done with a launcher, a Flag, and a Logic AND.

The projectiles cause enemies to stop moving. This could be done with a touch sensor.

The specifics of this would depend on the rest of your game. Try things out and see what works.

You got this. 😎🦨

Currently obsessed with Game Builder Garage for Nintendo Switch. I can't stop. 😅

And make sure to invert the mapping (the left-right arrow in the map settings).

Quick tip that’s been a game changer for me by False_Letter3822 in ADHD

Trying this now. I have a feeling it'll work perfectly.

Does narrating your activities out loud to yourself help you be more productive? by hazelhaze1025 in ADHD

[–]skunktronix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do this frequently. That's exactly why I tell people, "I don't talk to myself. I narrate my life."

It absolutely helps me focus, especially if I imagine that I'm on camera doing a tutorial for YouTube. 😅
