Interesting visual effect. Just playing around with different levels of interaction between sprites and thought I'd share. Click the green flag to reset; click on the red sprite to watch it do its thing. Use however you like. Enjoy!

MemoryPuzzle

A classic memory puzzle... watch a sequence of symbols, then try to repeat the sequence by clicking on symbols one at a time in order. Number of symbols can be varied from 3 to 8. "Show Delay" is how much time is given to each symbol. "Time to Show" is how much of each symbol's time (the delay) the symbol will be visible. Set Time to Show low, the symbols will "flash" when they're shown; set it high and they'll stay up longer. This project implements a simple random number generator (linear congruential) to create the random sequences of symbols. Please use and modify as you wish! Enjoy!

Classic "8 Queens" Chessboard Puzzle

This is the classic "8 Queens" puzzle - the splash screen gives directions. Very message driven, with some coordinate math having to do with translating mouse clicks into chessboard square coordinates ((0,0) is upper-left). Started out as a simple "could-I-do-this?" hack, but then my stubborn, persistent side took over. *Click the green flag first to make sure things work properly! Improvements: Variables like Queen0Visible, Queen0X, Queen0Y do not need to be global - they ought to be local to their sprite. Have fun, and please use whatever you find useful! (though a citation would be appreciated!)

SimpleAdventure

Couldn't figure out the "best" way to make sprites that you could click and drag. If you look for mouse down + touching sprite (and move the sprite in that case), that will "work", but if you move over other "draggable" sprites you will end up "collecting" all of them. I wanted only one sprite at a time to be dragged. Look at the Key-Inv sprite to see the drag script. This ensures that when you drag the key (sprite Key-Inv) over, say, the crowbar (sprite Crowbar-Inv), you will not pick up and move the crowbar too. The ClickDetect variable ensures that only one draggable inventory item can be dragged at one time.
