Make it Play it Don't Die, I made a way you can design your own level and stuff :D
the options: the square with the spiked top is a trampaline,
the square is the ground, the flatish round thing is a mine.
to erase use right shift and move the mouse close to the actor you want to erase,
to create an actor slect the tpye you want to draw then use the right mouse button,
grid snap is while left shift is held down. :D
to move the map around: click on the background and drag it.
to move to the game center press h,
to exit the game from game mdoe use esc or e. :D
the controls in game mode are:
use w to jump,
use a to walk left, use d to walk right.
try to avoid all the mines :twisted: (the roundish flat things)
please tell me if there is ANYTHING you would like to have in this game,
I will soon add a background color change,
also I will make a Spike tile that you can draw in four diferent shapes :D
please tell me of any gliches you find, hope you enjoy!
remember this is only a beta version :)

i think it needs colors other than that it's cool!

p.s. why do your games make my games look like crap?
p.p.s. how do you make animation? mine always end up popping all over the place.

draw a bunch of lines close together that are different colors,
it gives a 3D shading :D

grid snap doesnt work

even if it did, your pieces don't match the grid. you should design your pieces in a size that divides into the grid size you've settled on. eg, if you make a grid of 15x15, then make sure your pieces width and height is divisible by 15.

also grid snap should always be on, no need for a modifier key since this is a tile based level!!

saving is also pretty simple. you dont need any particular sized array... decide on a maximum number of tiles:

Code: Select all
#define MAX_TILES 1024


make a struct to represent a tile, declare the array as MAX_TILES and then basicly just dump the memory to a file. Use the first 2 bytes of the file to store the number of tiles (integer).

Code: Select all
typedef struct
{
    char type;
    int x;
    int y;
} gameTile;

gameTile tiles[MAX_TILES];
