sora adventure 0.2 development

[yaustar]

It would have been better to have the Press Start as a different image and make that 'blink' instead.

[Apoklepz]

at right heres a new screen made by crimson_lotus he changed the backround all he has to do now is make one without the press start feature that way it blinks in the game



very good work apokolpiz theres much to do today as i want to finish up alot of the bugs by the way that icon for the game before you start it is alsum you doin thing that i dont even know how to do good job

keep ya posted

It's cool I can work with this one, I think I'll make the "Press Start" appear individually.

EDIT!!!!
HAH! It's funny how Yaustar already posted the same thing before me.

Here's a good source I found for some of the Kingdom Heart Series Art:

And check out this fan made beauty I came across in another forum the other day. It appear to be a Heartless rendition of Sora or Evil Sora if you will, although most of his attire belongs to Riku, his physique is indeed Sora's. The person who did this did an awesome job. Enjoy.

I Just sent it. Check your mail.

Wow...Germany 1(4) just won over Argentina 1(2) in a real heck of a game.

EDIT!!! Here's my last shot at a Title menu...for now.
I grabbed the original drawing from the Kingdom Hearts art link I posted earlier and followed in Lotus's format. I'm sure other people might come out with a better shot, but bear with me, at least it's "Simple & Clean". I did it in super paint in 3 minutes. Enjoy.

Ok.

Any new fixes on this one, Gun?

[yaustar]

Warning: the following text will be very harsh. This is what I would say to my team if things would have gotten this far (which I wouldn't allow). However, this is not my team and feel free to ignore the following.

FUNDAMENTALS
Fixed the Start Menu entry. Problem was due to the main game loop calling the TitleScreen function over and over. Learn about program flow.

Where are the comments? Get in the habit of writing comments prior to writing code. Read about pseudocode.

The 'walk off the level' crash bugs are still here! That should have been the first thing to fix on the TODO list. Crash bug fixes are the highest priority on the 'TODO' list

MINOR GRIPES
Lots of memory wastage. Are 2 full sized title screen needed to have a flashing text? If a level has the same image 3 times in the row then why is there 3 seperate image files needed?

Jump animation starts below the standing position.

The screen does not scroll with a 'running jump'.

FINAL WORD
All 5 out of the 5 the bugs that have been reported last time HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED yet new features are being added and/or planned? This will lead to 'knock on' problems. i.e. Add a new feature + Fix and old bug = Broken new feature.

> Fix crash bug when you move below, above, far left and far right of the map
> Seperate the projectiles from the attack animation
> Fix left attack positon/animations (player goes completely off center when firing spells left)
> Seperate the Input from the animation control (at the moment all the attack and running animations are TOTALLY dependent on the length of time the buttons are held down)
> Fix the collision test code for colliding with backgrounds.

There are other glaring problems with the code design and adding other objects/enemies to the scene will show that. This in itself will open up a new can of worms.

WHAT WAS DONE WELL
New animations and graphical ideas look great.
