My Turing Platformer Game

[andrew.]

The variable system is kind of like how my Super Mario Battle loaded levels except mine read each level from a file. That way people could make their own.

I'm going to be doing that for the level editor when I get around to it lol

Call this a thread revive

New Version :O

I've been slowly tinkering with a few things and then today in Math Class I got bored and completely rewrote the platform system on paper and have now implemented it.

This version contains:
-Trails Toggle Option
-New Disappearing Platforms
-New Platform System (Nothing Graphically Apparent)
-Pause Menu
-Game Runs Faster

Controls
Left, Right - Movement
Up Arrow - Jump
P - Pause Button
Enter - Respawn

Contained in the Zip is the game and the font file which you NEED to install for the text in-game to display correctly.

If you main drive is C:\ then the font goes in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

Nice! Liked, was very addicting.

I also like the new disappearing platform idea.

Awesome game.

It's pretty addicting, haha.

New Update

This Version Contains
-About 5 lines of the editor that you won't ever see in action
-New Font Check

About the Font Check
Try running the game without the font installed in your font folder
(If you've installed it already, it's in the folder as BatmanForeverAlternate)

Controls
Left, Right - Movement
Up Arrow - Jump
P - Pause Button
Enter - Respawn

Aside from that not much has changed

Contained in the zip is the game exe and font

Enjoy

Very good but could you make it more floaty, (reduce the gravity), please?

[SNIPERDUDE]

Hmm, it would be interesting to see that - but would it make it too easy?
Speaking of it is a little easy at this point, try looking into some harder levels. (All of a sudden reminding me of Wicky Woo 2)

love it

Awesome game!
I was thinking of making a platformer/puzzle game for my final project!

I think it really needs more color but other than that its great.

I have just one question, how did you make it detect if it was touching an elevated platform? I think what you did (based on the small snippet you showed) since all of your platforms are exactly 100 pixels long, was a couple of if statements to check if the box's x value was within range of the platformx and above your platformy. Correct me if i'm wrong

[csl_hrdcr]

how do you make the coins dissapear? I am currently making a platformer in turing and I am not experienced at all. I know that I could probably find it somewhere, but I am too lazy.
I love your game, and I agree that more colour would make it better. Anyway, thanks a lot for any help. Bye

does it work without the font? cause i cant install it if so can u post 1 that doesnt need it.

[SNIPERDUDE]

If you don't have the font installed it will just use the default "Ariel".

[saltpro15]

won't run in linux , ran it through wine, and it opens with the message "you do not have the correct fonts installed, please install the fonts and restart the game", just make it run with ariel or something

[SNIPERDUDE]

ah, Linux. Fun.

But for checking you can make your programme look to see if they have the font, and if it doesn't change the font it uses to Ariel. Easy and safe.
