Snakes and ladders (it. Gioco dell'oca)

Jul 23, 2017

Hi there! Need some help if someone can.

I'm trying to make a game, it's like snakes and ladders. In Italy we called it gioco dell'oca. You have to do a path with some obstacles and you must use dice. Have you heard about that?

What I need to do is to allow to choose two players mode. And this is easy to do but I can't say to Storyline how to move and stop pieces. The problem is that it seems not to be a system to memorize each position.

I created a single path to move a piece and control it by dice, but this way the movement is attached to the timeline. I tried with layers... doesn't work.

How can I do? Thanks for responding.

Hi Enrico!

Have you seen this snakes and ladders game that Darren created? It allows for 2 players, so hopefully you can use his game as a guide!

And if someone has some questions for a game like this one, can you please redirect to this topic? It would be nice to share the solution with other people. Games like this are not so easy to build... :) Thank you!

Wow, this is so cool! I especially love the "Yessss!" and "Ahhhh!" sound effects. Very well done! 👏

I'll definitely keep this thread in my back pocket in case anyone else has a question about a game like yours in the future!

Thank you very much Alyssa! See some other projects here: https://alamedaproject.com/portfolio/

Check, for example, my version of the Memory Game. That's a homemade, voices are not professional (it's me!!!), but it makes me smile and the children like it too. They are all made in italian language, sorry, but I'm trying to translate them in English. We'll see...

Have a nice day!
