Scott- yeah, I get that. But the fact is that Apple managed to get UsTwo 
to give them an exclusive so they could announce the new game with the 
new iStuff announcements and thumb their nose at Google. So I can still 
throw shade on Apple for this.




If MV2 isn’t in the Play Store yet, have you gotten ahold of the add-ons for 
MV1?
Forgotten Shores and Ida’s (RED) Dream?  Definitely worth purchasing, IMO.


Yep - been through all of those. And as soon as I did I said I'd buy 
whatever UsTwo came out with. Brilliant. Now I'm sitting here with money 
in hand anxiously waiting for the gates to open.

Got you beat, 319 seconds.

Richmond, you need to set the navigationArrows to false (and hopefully 
back to the user setting after the game.) I had other stacks open and 
the up arrow key kept popping them to the front. That caused script 
errors about how it couldn't find object "ant".


Even so, it was fun and cute. I think your kids will love it. :)

Silly fun was in fact addictive. I don' t think I could have stopped if I had

Generally, people seem to be complaining that the challenge in the new version 
is lower than v1.  But there are some new mechanics to be played, there are 
some touching moments between the new characters, and the splitting of story 
between the characters is quite creative.

The best description I ever read of the game: “Monument Valley isn't a game, 
it’s an experience.”  It won an Apple Design Award for good reason.

Re: "Silly" fun for the weekend

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

confirmed, I just re-downloaded again Monument Valley 1, that's exactly how 
they make "little alice" (or whatever her name is) move around the castle 
walkways. tap and she goes there (if she can)

So I guess the algorithm would be

1) when you tap on a place on the maze that in fact the little girl can get to… 
2) you have a path stored
3) you move the player along the path to the point of the last tap.

But we need more

all paths thru out the maze would have to be present.  But that's almost too 
easy… you could spot an apple off in the corner, scan the maze and see that 
it's reachable, then all you do it click on the apple and the player would move 
through… 

Monument valley solves this by setting up barriers; then you not only move 
Alice along.. you have to change the scene to provide the right "gangway" for 
her to get upstairs and then out that's the actual challenge…  using that model 
without all the added barriers may not work, with out their million dollar 
budget we would never get it done.

OK back to Mike's idea:  we just emulate a game control d-pad on  screen… 
custom control group. draggable If you need to get it out of the way

4 triangles with a pause button in the center. yep that would work… and another 
option  laid out horizontally. 
users will recognize it like any audio movie controller, takes less space

left  up pause  downright
<^   = _  >

where my chars above are small player control icons with no labels.

But d-Pad might be easier reached with the thumb  if he  is holding her phone 
in the same hand at the same time.

Re: "Silly" fun for the weekend

1) We just dress up the screen with some incredible artwork (of which we have 
tons)
2) instead of picking up food, you hit on "surprises" which make a sound or say 
something and then give you a teaser question like

What is the difference between "empirical" and "metaphysical"
 __ 1) none really
 __ 2) It's all in your mind one way or the other
 __  3) These silly nit picky points have nothing to do with 
unconditional love
 
when the person choose # 3 they get to move on thru the maze.. 

i.e. turn it into super fun "edutainment"

just how to move the player along… 

Monument Valley just released their latest. 
That *entire* app is based on this maze model  at least $ ½ million in graphic 
arts and CGI programming
Except that you come out dumber than you went in
Because your brain shuts down for the duration…
But the graphics are awesome

Re: "Silly" fun for the weekend

A standard on mobile for this sort of thing seems to be a simulated d-pad
type control.  Though using the accelerometers isn't difficult and could
make it a real challenge when trying not to touch walls. (perhaps change
things so that wall touches are ok, but there are holes to avoid like a
marble maze game)

I keep hoping someone will implement box2d, but that will probably
(hopefully) happen once we reach 10.
