Abigayl's Interactive Tutorials (Part 2)
by Joe (Updated on 2012-07-21)
Tutorial 2 - Attributes, Saving/Loading, Kongregate API
CHANGES TO CURRENT STENCYL VERSION:
- Game Center is now Dashboard
- No longer need to make Actor Behaviors; can use "Events" tab instead
- Now need to use "Add an Event" at the top left to make the headings
- If using events, do not need to "Attach to Actor" (still needed with Behaviors though)
Liked this one? See them all!

Part 3: Advanced Controls, Spawning
Part 4: Mouse-based Shooting, Collisions and HP

Rados, it's rather simple: I do all of my own behaviors, never relying on Forge besides to trade ideas. Furthermore, I start each game from scratch, always looking for more efficient ways of doing things.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out kb. If desired, you can always go into the Game Center -> Game Settings and change the size.

Nevermind, I figured it out. The x and y locations in the tutorial didn't fit on my screen. I am using a different version of Stencyl and I didn't change the default scene size, so that's probably where I made the mistake.
Thanks for a great tutorial!

What things would cause the text not to appear? I think I've done everything in the tutorial to add the high score and current score, but it just doesn't show up on the screen. Anything I should be looking for to debug? Thanks!
