So i decided to do the game in PGE so what does this mean? A few minor changes from Hm functions to PGE thats it <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">. I've already done loads but theres 1/2 other things need be added then the conversion will be finished. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk/2008/11/12/re-coding-to-pge-5022005/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk,2008-11-07:/2008/11/07/my-bad-4999874/dan3692008-11-07T16:44:45+01:002008-11-07T16:44:45+01:00 <p>I'm sorry, i have been really busy. Halloween, bonfire night & all my school-work is really getting in the way. So what has been done? Well the good news is that scrolling works now, it needs a few tiny adjustments but nothing major. & that everything is working 100% with the scrolling system. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk/2008/11/07/my-bad-4999874/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk,2008-11-02:/2008/11/02/camera-system-4972287/dan3692008-11-02T21:37:41+01:002008-11-02T21:37:41+01:00 <p>Well this is hard But i've decided to re-do the scrolling system, It going/uses a camera system.

So i didn't do much today BUT i have added scrolling the biggest feature in any 2d side scrolling platformer hense why its in the name <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">. So everything runs smoothly apart from the right hand side collision (only above the floor though) So that is a really nasty bug, so i'll have to fix that. I'm also going to do a HUD display at the top so that the player can see reminding time, score, lives etc. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk/2008/10/29/another-hard-day-at-the-office-4948189/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk,2008-10-27:/2008/10/28/another-fantastic-update-d-4942772/dan3692008-10-28T00:49:54+01:002008-10-28T00:49:54+01:00 <p>Well earlier on i talked about added some type of jumping block Straight after i finished posting i started & finished the jumping block, that is 100% done, no changes are in mind or planned there might be changes But not anytime soon.<br> I also mentioned about holes Or gaps in the ground, the best may to do this was an Array. So i could tell you how i spent a hour trying to do this But i'm not going to.

A quick fix i came up with was to check if the two Xs were identical, again this worked BUT it didn't give me that 'range of movement' across the moving platform & i would only move with the platform IF the two Xs were the same NOT GOOD! So after a bit of thought i remembered my early(bad) coding experiences, one which was for collision, it had a IF to check if the x was more than a Number and less than a number.<br> Like<br> if x > 20 and x <40 then<br> collision<br> end<br> Really bad collision method BUT on a single block that if x > 20 and x< 40 is a good check. So i used that method i & came up with my own check which Now works amazing. Scrolling next then Enemies <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> then i think A public testing version i.e release. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk/2008/10/27/moving-platformsdone-4936981/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:dan369sdevelopmentblog.blog.co.uk,2008-10-25:/2008/10/25/nearly-there-i-hope-4931668/dan3692008-10-25T22:38:00+02:002008-10-27T00:52:57+01:00 <p>Still Stuck with the Moving Platforms BUT After asking for some help/ideas on the luaplayer.org forums, i think i have a good idea on How i should go about it.

So i did finished my jumping code BUT it wasn't tested. By tested i mean, collision with platforms. So i tryed it out nearly everything worked fine Apart from 1 thing. If i hold X while colliding with a block underneath i would say stuck there. If i let go, i fall. Really easy fix, i changed the speedY to 0 if it hits a block underneath so it'll automatically start falling. Fine, worked like a charm <img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0">. So now i start messing around with the blocks & come across another bug <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"><br> I could give you a huge explanation But i won't.

Well, i actually started it very late last night & finished about 20 minutes later. It was<strong>ALOT </strong> than i thought, after giving it a bit of thought it was easy. The actual Function is about 21 lines & is very simple to understand. So progress is alot better than i first thought <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> & its also going alot quicker. So What am i doing Next?

In a good way <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">. I'm gunna write my own code which will take longer But i'd rather this.
