Hi there!

I'm developing a Christmas game with my team and we are wondering if it is possible for us to make the "photo / video button" as a start button for the game.

Here is the game:

Snapcode：https://www.snapchat.com/unlock/?type=SNAPCODE&uuid=e40e3d53500549a4aae0322c8fba6e8e&metadata=01 

Now we wrote texts on the first page to let the users to " tap to choose a character" and "tap again to enter the game" and it seems too complicated for first- time users. 

Thank you!

  I noticed that Snappable can turn the" photo/video button" to a "start button" 

  like this:

  

  It is more straight forward for players to play ;)

  Hey Lens Lab,

  Awesome work on this game! Unfortunately, as I just mentioned to another forum user here), it's not currently possible to create a Snappable Lens in Lens Studio where the camera button becomes the play button. That said, I think you could still make the UX better with a fullscreen takeover on Lens Initialization that disappears with a tap. Here are some examples of other Lens creators utilizing the fullscreen effect to introduce/explain their Lens:

  • Freia Snake
  • Stop Motion
  • 4 Panel Creator

  Cheers,
  Kaitlyn

  Thank you so much for the examples provided! I think the issue has been fixed ><

  New Snapcode is here: https://www.snapchat.com/unlock/?type=SNAPCODE&uuid=e40e3d53500549a4aae0322c8fba6e8e&metadata=01 

  Would you / other creators also help give me some feedbacks on improving this game?

  Hi Litvinenkob16,

  Sorry that I'm not so sure about your question.

  Did you mean how you could set a height limit for the sprite to jump / move?

  You can get the width and height of the Texture that's applied to a SpriteVisual. See the below code:

  // @input Component.SpriteVisual spriteVisual
  
  var texture = script.spriteVisual.mainPass.baseTex;
  var width = texture.getWidth();
  var height = texture.getHeight();
  
  print( "Width: " + width + ", Height: " + height );

  Hope that helps!
