LiveCode Files for this Project

Version 1 (matches the code below)
Version 2 (skinned, with a more sophisticated looping structure)

Getting Started

We will build this stack together from scratch. Here are a few quick notes:

We will build with dimensions suitable for the iPhone: 320 X 480
You will need the three graphics above at the end of the project. When the time comes, just come back to this page and then right-click on each and choose "Save Image As..." and save the image to a location of your choice. You will then import the images into LiveCode (File > Import as Control > Image file...).

First Script for button "Move Offensive Player":

(Click here for a text file with these scripts.)

 on mouseUp  
   set the moveSpeed to 200  
   put random(320) into varOffensivex  
   put random(480) into varOffensivey  
   put round(varOffensivex/2) into varDefensivex  
   put round(varOffensivey/2) into varDefensivey  
   move button "offensive" to varOffensivex, varOffensivey without waiting  
   wait 10 ticks  
   set the moveSpeed to 100  
   move button "defensive" to varDefensivex, varDefensivey   
 end mouseUp

Final Script for button "Move Offensive Player":

 on mouseUp  
   set the moveSpeed to 200  
   //basketball court is 10 pixels from each side, so subtract 20 from screen dimensions for next two lines  
   put (the random of 300)+10 into varOffensivex  
   put (the random of 460)+10 into varOffensivey  
   put item 1 of the location of button "basket" into varBasketx  
   put item 2 of the location of button "basket" into varBaskety  
   put round (varBasketx + ((varOffensivex-varBasketx)/2) ) into varDefensivex  
   put round (varBaskety + ((varOffensivey-varBaskety)/2) ) into varDefensivey  
   move button "offensive" to varOffensivex, varOffensivey without waiting  
   wait 10 ticks  
   set the moveSpeed to 100  
   move button "defensive" to varDefensivex, varDefensivey   
 end mouseUp

Adding a skin to a button (one approach)

Create a substack
Insert (or paste) images you want to use as skins to the card in the substack
Add this script to the card in the main stack containing the button you want skinned:

on opencard

set the icon of button "offensive" to {IDNumberOfImage}

end opencard
