I seem to not be able to walk under platforms. I suggest this be changed.

Btw, nice choice of music, Tourney Setup from SSBM, thats a good one Razz

It was very difficult lol, or I just suck.

You can't walk under the platform cause i coded it like that, I just need to put an image there to act as a barrier. How do like the game? Do you have any suggestions?

Yeah it was confusing, you gotta go over top of it, then click on it.

no you just wait in it for a couple seconds

I think you would benifit from not having to use your maximum jump.

Sorry I don't know what you mean. Anyways, how do like the game itself???

The game itself is very well-done in my opinion, but my earlier comment I think should be implemented.

To clarify, what I mean is that if you hold on to your up key, or tap the up key, the jump is the same. I think you should have it so when you let go of the up key your character stops going up. You know wat I mean? that way you have more flexibility when you jump, and makes it much simpler to play.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
I understand now, how do you propose I implement that into the code?

You can do something like this:
Turing:

if vel > 0 and not circle ('w') then
     vel := (some negative number)
     grav := (some other negative number)
end if


Btw: not circle ('w') is valid syntax.

EDIT:
I just did it. After this:
Turing:

Input.KeyDown (circle)
                if circle ('w') and Ground = true then
                    vel := jump
                end if

I put in this:
Turing:

if vel > 0 and not circle ('w') then
                    vel := -4
                    grav := -0.6
                end if

Most games you can only do your max jump you can't stop in the middle, the motion isn't realistic

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
Actually, it's not the case for 2D platformers. With those games, there are many cases where you only want to make a small, calculated jump instead of leaping. It's for flexibility, not for realisticness.

Anyways, thats just my opinion.

And actually the motion is VERY realistic. Jump right now. Now jump higher. A set in stone concrete jump height is very unrealistic. Yes in the case of the game, changing your jump height because of a new obstacle or something is a liberty you don't have in real life, but it's more realistic than a measurable jump height for each jump.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
Yah but the way raknarg coded it, it looked unrealistic like stopping yourself in mid-air. Do you have any other suggestions about the game mirhagk?

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
Well I hope that the first level isn't complete lol, cuz I can't go any farther.

I'd suggest putting a few more instructions into the instructions (for instance how to get into the level).

I'd also suggest a way of creating the levels outside of the code, so you can fill a text file with the level and load it up and be done.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
What do you mean??? There are 7 complete levels that all work (including Level 1). What do you mean you can't go any farther? I am also in the process of putting in more instructions and mapping through a text file.

well, when I collect all the coins I cannot advance. I just fall to my death, or land uselessly on the previous green platform.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
The coins have nothing to do with advancing. You just keep going right until you no longer sidescroll, but you actually move across the screen. Land on the ground at the end of the level and keep walking right, you will have beaten the level and will be sent to the shop to buy items with the coins you collected. You then exit the shop and are back at the level selection menu.

ok, that makes much more sense

Wait you haven't tried the other levels yet?

I am working on new levels and updates for the game. Any suggestions of things you would like to see implemented?

If it's been four months and you're working on the same game, I would recommend starting something else from scratch.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
I wasn't working on the game for about three months, just started working on it recently and wanted to see how far I could take it. However, do you have any suggestions for other game ideas that might be interesting?

My opinion? Take a known board game and try to turn it into code like I'm doing atm

I posted a really good yahtzee game I made recently. You should try it out the post is called turing yahtzee.

Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
Yeah? I'll lok into that. However, more complex than that. For instance, what I'm doing right now is a game Called pandemic. It's like risk in how everything is coneected and stuff, but its about curing a virus.

I'm going to be starting Java in Gr 11 AP compsci soon so I'm not going to start any new projects right now. Maybe I'll post some of my older work.

Why don't you do both at the same time?
Author:  blaffypoo [ Fri Jan 27, 2012 1:02 pm ]
Post subject:  RE:Spacechute- 2D Platformer (not finished)
I don't want to get confused between the lanuguages especially when I'm just starting out.

I think you'll fond that in a lot of cases, they are very similar. They're worded differently, but it's all structured the same
