What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

Amazing. And I've hardly touched my code since my last video.

Parallax scrolling. Primitive camera system. Placeholder HUD. Conveyor belts animate at the speed they move objects. Doors that require keys. The usual.

Camera needs some work.

Excuse the bad video, but heres a preview of my CCC entry:

You wouldn't believe how much trouble this was.



Actually not all that much. The complicated stuff was easy. It's the easy part that was complicated.

Amazing! Haha I can guess, moving the platforms around EASY
Keeping Mariups (Nintendo may kill us otherwise) on top of the platform HARD

Not hard, but difficult if you don't go about it the right way. Once you figure out the trick it's easy. I just had to reconfigure how I moved the player in order to get the above platforms to work right.

Anyways..

I seem to be taking over this thread. I really need to make an OT already.

Spent some time on the visuals, right now there are five blur-variants that I need to decide on. I think this might be the best-looking thing I ever made.


(music is some random yt-track because I had to remove the music I recorded myself listening to)

That's cool! I'd be interested to know how you implemented the character skin (how it changes like that, if you understand what I'm saying).

I am using the "usual" drawing function as a mask and then draw a repeating texture to the full screen [setWrap("repeat","repeat") + a quad (0,0,width,height)].

Here is the routine:

Code: Select all

function drawWithRelStencil( image, stencil, scale, x, y, quad )
	local w, h = image:getDimensions()
	x, y = 0, 0
	scale = scale or 40
	
	love.graphics.push()
	love.graphics.setStencil( stencil )
	love.graphics.push()
	love.graphics.origin()
	love.graphics.draw( image, quad or util.screenquad, (x or 0)-w*scale, (y or 0)-h*scale, 0, scale, scale )
	love.graphics.pop()
	love.graphics.setStencil()
	love.graphics.pop()
	
	if x > w*scale then x = x - (w*scale) end
	if y > w*scale then y = y - (h*scale) end
	return x, y
end

stencil is the function that draws your stuff,

So implementing proper projectile tossing and collision is proving to be super hard. Perhaps I should just rip it all out and turn it into a normal non-SMB2 style platformer instead.
