Question about how to implement bombs into a game

jmal0024

I am trying to create and implement bombs into a game. I am using something similar to the one-character demo created by OBC and I'm trying to figure out how to get the character to drop a bomb and have it explode such as in the Hydraman game.

Saw the PM on the Propeller Powered forum about this/other issues as well.

It might help to diagnose the problems you are having if you could post the code you have, or at least the area(s) where you are having the most difficulty.

in breif, what you would need to do:
1) trap the key/button press event for the bomb being dropped
2) set the x and y position of the bomb
3) set a countdown timer for the bomb

In your main game loop, you would then want to decrement you countdown for the bomb(s). When they reach 0, then have your 'boom' event.
