Need help finding glitches in your game?
I see glitches in games way too often. The bad thing is, usually the glitch can be easily fixed! So, if you're trying to make a good game with no glitches and you need someone besides yourself to test it for possible glitches/unhandled event exceptions, I'm the person you can go to! Just post a link to your project in the comments and I'll check it for glitches. If I find any, I'll comment on the game telling you how to make the glitch re-occur and (upon request only) tell you how to fix it! If I can't find any glitches, I'll give you a love it! And the best thing is, I'm not abusing the love it button. I really do LOVE a flawless game! Happy scratching (;
*NOTE*
GAMES ONLY. I will not review animations or even interactive animations. Games only please.

Re: Need help finding glitches in your game?
I would like you to check all three of the projects in my Tanks series, the first game is in my sig, and it leads to the next one, ect. I want to make sure they work correctly.
Why are the secret organizations getting all the attention?

Well playing the first one, everything looks okay except a couple unhandled event exceptions. For instance, in the beginning, I was able to press space to see a bullet of some kind coming out of the screen instead of a tank (the tank wasn't visible yet). I haven't checked out the others because I don't know how to obtain the passwords. If you could give me the passwords here I will gladly go back and look. Also, just as a tip, you don't really need passwords for game series. It will most likely leave your fans disappointed, as people are always anticipating to play newer versions of games rather than old ones.

Re: Need help finding glitches in your game?
I only have the passwords because there is a storyline to follow, but that will be changed when Scratch 2.0 comes out, because the file size limit should be gone. The bullet is something I suspected, I'll go back and have a look at it. The passwords are at the end of each game, you have to beat the boss to get it. I would prefer not to say the passwords, but you can download it to find them if you don't want to play the whole thing.

Re: Need help finding glitches in your game?
One problem is that this game gets quite a lot of complaints about glitches but I rarely get told about them!
There are some which only occur online:
+An elevator may not lift Rayman in level 2
Some occur online and offline:
+You may occasionally see double-vision of Rayman
Please Help!

Well, if the help is specifically for scripting, it makes sense to offer it here, in the Help With Scripts area. In fact we have an entire topic just for offering help with scripting here in Help With Scripts

Please don't spam. There is a whole forum for "show and tell" and you can create your own topiv to advertise your game on.
I can't provide links (sorry) because this phone can't copy and paste.
Good luck and scratch on!
That's not spam, that's a request for Zparx to review it.

Re: Need help finding glitches in your game?
My game had a glitch where if the main character touched the baddies it would go through them.
I tried:
[scratchblock]
when gf clicked
if <(touching) [sprite1]?>
brodcast <game over>
stop script
[/scratchblocks]
And then I'd to the background scripts and type:
when I recieve <game over> switch background to <You lose> endPlease help me.

Sure thing. I'll get back to you after I've reviewed previous projects mentioned in the comments above yours. Could you provide a little more detail about the glitch? I'm having trouble understanding the difference between what's happening and what you want to happen.
