And the way you used them in Level 2 was genius!
So maybe doesn't quite fit world 2. I'm more leaning towards the level 2-1 music.Hmmm... I'm not exactly sure why it's flickering now. Maybe just leave it as is for a bit of NES Nostalgia (Super Mario Bros. Castles)cbloopy wrote:Cool!
Although I'm still seeing the flickering with the castle walls on 1-5, but now it only happens when you're moving vertically. I'm not really sure what else you could do to make it not flicker, so maybe we'll leave this one alone for now.
I'm not quite sure why this happens myself... Perhaps contructing a drop-down ceiling blocking the player from jumping directly onto the blocks will work.cbloopy wrote:I also managed to once in a while (like maybe 1 out of 20 times or so) to get on the falling blocks in 2-2 without actually making them fall. I think it happens when I try to jump directly onto them without landing first on the gray platform left of them, but again, it doesn't happen consistently. It's not a big deal since I can just move off to the left and move back onto them and they'll fall.
I guess it's a bit too... "jazzy" for the levels... Maybe it could work on the hub? Who knows, I'm at a loss for hub music so I might end up using this provided it fits with the hub.cbloopy wrote:As for the new world 2 music, it's fine, but maybe a little too cheerful.
Funny, I was actually tempted to complain that it's too easy to get ahead of the lava!jdl wrote:And that one part in the castle where you have to go up a staircase-like corridor is EXTREMELY hard because of the "touch a wall or ceiling and stop moving" thing.

When I play that level, most of the time I never even see the lava. At one point I was actually tempted to suggest to QLoof234 to make the lava speed accelerate when you are more than a certain vertical distance away from it. 
Well first Qloof234 will have to program in the ability to save games. By which I assume you mean you can exit the game and run it again, and have the game remember which levels you've completed the last time.BTW, in the finished game, will you add a save prompt (Continue and save? Continue, don't save?) after you complete the castles like in SMW with the castles and ghost houses?
Hmmm... Well, if I were to speed the lava up a tiny bit and hollow out the stairs so Lyglo doesn't get caught on the ceiling, would that work?cbloopy wrote:Funny, I was actually tempted to complain that it's too easy to get ahead of the lava!jdl wrote:And that one part in the castle where you have to go up a staircase-like corridor is EXTREMELY hard because of the "touch a wall or ceiling and stop moving" thing.

I know what you mean about the staircase though. It can be a little annoying to get through; however, with a little bit of practice, you can get at least one or two of your jumps to go over several steps at once, instead of merely hitting your head on the ceiling and end up only one step up.
Alright. For the saving feature, I've managed to put in a working system like this on the hub using .ini files - Upon pressing S, the game will write the player's hub level to the .ini file, and if the player press L then the game loads that value and teleports the player to that frame. I haven't put in an interface for this yet, but I do plan on something like that.cbloopy wrote:Well first Qloof234 will have to program in the ability to save games.

Another nice to have is if the game can remember the customizations I made to the keyboard controls. I assign "Z" instead of "Shift" for the jump button (button 1), because on my computer if I press Shift multiple times quickly enough, a useless prompt (not from the game) comes up. Right now as soon as you start a new game, the game promptly forgets the changes you make to key-button assignments and reverts back to the default.
), but World 2's castle is finished and now the bosses have their own song that plays during the battle. (That includes World 1 - when the player is teleported outside of the boss chamber, the normal music stops and this theme starts.)
Thanks!orza6006 wrote:I love this game, particularly the way you used the rainbow blocks in World 2-2 and the auto scrolling lava in 1-5.
1) Well, I've already got about 4 separate tilesets including the two worlds in game already... I'm aiming for at least 5.orza6006 wrote:I have a few questions:
1) How many worlds will you make?
2) Will there be 5 levels in each world, or more in later worlds?
3) Will you include any more fire flowers?
This is something that's had me going bonkers for a while about the elevator system - for some reason, Lyglo will sometimes "bounce" up, above the platform, or in the most extreme cases, on the roof of the elevator or above the level. No idea why this happens.orza6006 wrote:Also, I found a glitch at the end of World 2-3 at the elevator. If you step off just before the moment you can get spiked, you vanish.
Once again, thanks!orza6006 wrote:Great game. Keep it going!
Thanks! I'm doing my best to sort the levels in each world by difficulty for Demo 4.mindstream wrote:
Hi Qloof234, I have played Lyglo Demo 3.0, and
and downloaded version 3.5, and this game so far is amazing,
I like the interfaces, the menu, the music, though it has been occasionally
difficult for me to play some parts.
I've heard of that movie and the book before. Never read it or seen the movie, though.mindstream wrote: It reminds me of that FlatLand movie I saw.
The program I use for the game is Multimedia Fusion Developer 2. The price is insanely high, but personally I think it's very useful if you know what you're doing with it.mindstream wrote: I'm left wondering how in the world you did it.
Sorry if this is obvious, but you need to be walking at full speed while making the jump. If you just try to jump across the gap from standing still it won't work because you haven't built up enough forward momentum.DEEMAN223344 wrote:where there are alot of blocks and you loose a power and get it back, there is a pit, bit it is too long to jump.

Electric floors?mqdar wrote:I don't see how to complete that level where you first see the rainbow blocks (cbloopy posted a screenshot of it above). Those electric floors never turn on, and I can't reach the ground on the second fall.
...DEEMAN223344 wrote:could you also add a switch to turn off the lava in the first castle level?
I would, but .ini files have one value apiece, AFAIK. Also, it would have to save the location that Lyglo would be at if he were beside the level start object, which isn't possible.DEEMAN223344 wrote:and make the player appear near the level that they die in, not the last completed one.
Use your own judgment.
