The White House is having a major pest issue. It is your job to guide the President throughout the White House and advise him on the best fly swatting strategy. Avoid the butterflies and be sure to kill the spiders when you see them. If you let too many flies inside, the White House will become infested. Don’t forget the Commander In Chief has a busy schedule so be sure to advance through levels and kill as many flies as possible to gain extra time. Good Luck!

Good game. ;-)
Just one thing which would make it more interesting not to mention that scores would also vary a bit more if you implement it.
When you hit two flies with a single stroke then you should get double points for them.
When you hit three flies with a single stroke then you should get triple points etc.

Excellent game! loved it! althought maybe you should make the aim more noticeable  it will make the higher levels  much more easier

Mmm... looking back at the design of your game I believe I was a bit mistaken.

The goal of splitting objects and backgrounds into smaller pieces (or tiles) is to be to reuse the same piece of graphics in a few different places, often having it reappear in the same background image. This means:

1. Splitting Obama into smaller pieces would probably not provide too much gain (All the pieces would appear in the exact same way in every stage eliminating any gains). Doing this may even result in minor slow-downs...

2. Splitting the backgrounds would also not do too much to help, because you either have stages with the exact same background or completely different background. Had you created backgrounds that reuse tiles between levels that could have made a significant difference.

Lastly, the size of the MOM and the size of the JAR are different (The JAR would usually be substantially smaller), but still, you are correct, doing what i recommended in the previous post to your game would result in more bad than good...

I guess I'll have to get back to the drawing board and think of something else Smiley

Hi Tzachh,

Thanks for the reply. I am just trying to clarify for understanding. So the obama object would need to be separated into smaller pieces and then placed within each room. Is that correct? Also, I would have to have the background images of all the rooms split into separate tiles and then have all the tiles from every room loaded into the pool of every single room even if they are not being used in that room?

If so that makes me wonder. Will the size of the .mom be the same as the jar file when converted? If so that would be very big file if I had every tile from each of the nine rooms and the score mode in every room pool.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I'm not sure i understand your question in 5, but if you:

split and the backgrounds into tiles

and

reuse the tiles in between all the rooms (always having the exactly same collection of images in the pool)

and

all the rooms have the same size

and

you separate the Obama image into its own object and place it in different position in each room


This combined would make things run much better on weaker devices

hope this helps Smiley
