Slow down that popping yeahh

Newbie & Debugging Questions

How would I start if I want to pop each candy for some delay. Can someone give me the idea?

Since it involves loops and I need to slow it down I think delaying it must be a pain in the ass.

Some idea from you guys would be nice cause this is my first time I intend to complete a game like this and I thought it would be easy too. Lol ;D

Thanks in advance…

You could use a timer.

Thank you @FabulousFellini.

I just implements the timer for that purpose but then the popping mechanism become weird ???. May I know why?

#5

Probably not without seeing the code. Are you trying to delay the actual fall? Like “wait one second or two seconds before it falls”? Or just make the fall slower?

#6

Yes, I need them to delay about a few seconds.

#7

Yeah just put a timer in there, then don’t let them fall until its over! Lemme know if you have trouble implementing that.

#8

Hey, I just implemented the timer as you said before but it became weird.

When there’s an instantaneous match after a fall happen, it didn’t pop all of the candies.

Let say I have a match of x like

2143
1xxx
2112

Then it pop and it fall like this

2155
1143
2112

And the only candies that pop is y, like so

2155
1y43
2y12

How would I fix it?
