[ buffi @ 21:51 ] New demo again. Now 9 levels
And yeah, the first jump at level 3 is a bit tricky... might fix that

[ buffi @ 17:13 ] Major progress all over the place
Today I have
- Gotten fonts working
- Fixed the horrible structure of my code
- Tweaked the physics so that it works nicer
- Made a main menu (that works!)
- Made pretty much the entire engine for playing levels after eachother and so on... works nicely
- Found a (good) musician for the project!
- Made it possible to finish levels
Still left to do is
- Finish the level editor
- Actually make the levels for the game :)
- Get some more graphics for backgrounds and so on
- Fix the running of custom maps from the level editor
- High score table (if there is enough time)
- Uploading/downloading of custom levels to the interweb (if there is enough time)
It looks promising though. This game will be very nice :)

[ buffi @ 22:33 ] New demo. Now with animations!
New demo!
Controls are still the same as the last demo.
Controls
* Left/Right arrow = move left/right
* Up arrow = Jump
* Spacebar = Dash
When walking, use dash to get a speedboost in that direction.
When jumping against a wall you can press Spacebar to walljump in the other direction
[ buffi @ 18:29 ] Yay! Walkcycle stick-man-thingie pic!

Took me too long...
I really shouldn't do graphics

[ buffi @ 19:19 ] A Demo/Engine test! Try it out and tell me what you think
Been making solid progress so here is a demo of what I've got so far.
Dashman DX demo / engine test (requires pygame)
Controls
- Left/Right arrow = move left/right
- Up arrow = Jump
- Spacebar = Dash
When walking, use dash to get a speedboost in that direction.
When jumping against a wall you can press Spacebar to walljump in the other direction
Important: Some people seem to have problems walljumping. You do not need to press any arrow key when wall jumping from a wall. Just jump up against the wall and press space. If this sends you against another wall you can simply press space again to wall jump again and so on.
Level editor
This is also a level editor! :)
It is however really lame so far but the controls are (can be used while playing).
- Right click a wall/floor to remove it
- Use the number 1-4 on the keyboard to shift between input modes. The modes are
The modes are
- Start position
- End position
- Platform / Wall
- Trampoline
When placing 1 and 2, simply press where to put it. When placing 3 or 4, press two positions aligned horizontally or vertically to draw it between them.
Give me comments! :)

[ buffi @ 19:33 ] Day 2 - Level editor :)
There we go... got a working level editor and am quite pleased with it. Gonna tweak the physics quite a bit and then move on to doing something about the horrible horrible graphics.

[ buffi @ 16:08 ] Moving along nicely
Gotten some basic physics done. Looks like it will be a xjump kind of game, but less sucky with a heavy influence of different kinds of dashing. I've got a basic engine working ok, but need to incorporate a bunch of stuff.
