Marble Siege Tutorial

Archive of the Marble Siege Tutorial, which was uploaded on the Doc671 channel on 12 Feb 2017. The Marble Siege Tutorial is here. This video teaches you how to build a Marble Siege. It already assumes you can build a decent marble race, so if you can't, you'll need to visit a marble race tutorial first. Scripting guide that goes into much more depth: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17_CPg-QtU3qWp4Q7eD2csOWNFZ4QiGXfBZmCOxFmy4M There are a couple misconceptions in the video I'd like to clear up: - 1:41: This describes an object variable, not a local variable. True local variables are explained in the scripting doc (link above). - 2:01: Underscores are only needed for object variables (so not Scene.my variables). - 30:12: I HIGHLY recommend not doing this for health bars. A much better way is just to use one box that resizes itself based on how much health is left (something like size = [health / maxHealth * originalWidth, size(1)]). I also recommend using better variable names than many of the ones I used in the video (for example, Scene.my.marblesLeft instead of Scene.my._MRB). If someone else looks at your code (or you come back to it after a while) and you haven't used good variable names, they'll be spending a while trying to work out what the code is actually supposed to do. This video doesn't teach how to make the Morale Boost, Cure and Clone power-ups. I've made a guide on how to make them here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qsJosKBZ8G4CUDJq0btnvuD9lhb4xOgvdggi3DFP6no/edit All music: I credited these songs in the video, although it isn't easy to notice.
