Oh, that looks really nice. I'm not aware of whatever gimmick that purple cloud presents though, I suppose it harms the player(?).

Oh hey its that 1.4 shell dash level by Darkmecha!

aside for the fact that you've obviously copypasted the graphic folder of one of darkmecha's levels, is there any reason of why you're using both the lava and the purple gas? (assuming the purple gas insta kills the player)
also i tuink you should've taken a more interesting screenshot

A little something I've been working on.

I think it would be a good idea to put the level name at the bottom, cause that way it doesn't get in the way that much, and it would allow you to add a star and score counter to the top of the hud. Also, is that the reserve box left to the level name. If it is, then does it act differently from the normal one?

[Emral]

I would move the level name to the pause menu and give coins and lives smaller icons that are distinguishable from their NPC counterparts, or take out lives altogether.

That's a pretty good idea actually. I could see how the coins and 1-up could be kinda confusing, so new icons that aren't neccesarily smaller would be good.

I think they should be smaller. Having them this large produces nothing but clutter in the HUD.

Also I read you had a png file for every level name. Now, I must ask... why not draw them with textblox as text?

[PixelPest]

Or even Text.printWP would be enough in this case most likely and much simpler

I managed to make a somewhat close version of an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother using simple LunaLua and SMBX events. I don't know if this has already been done, so if someone has already done this, please tell me.

[PixelPest]

The hammer throwing code seems wrong. Shouldn't it be throwing hammers in both directions?

[Mr10crossing]

Yeah, I know. I couldn't figure out how to make it throw on both sides as I am not a big expert on LunaLua. The only way I could find that would be closer to the original is making his throwing rate faster by editing its AI with a memory offset.

[Emral]

Besides that, the platform's movement is very inaccurate.

[Mr10crossing]

I know, but to be honest I didn't really put a lot of effort in making the platform path. I only made 6 events for it. Just wondering, is there any way to make the parabolic movement with LunaLua?

[Fuyu]

Yes. You can attach the platform to a layer and toy with its speedX and speedY movements.

You must have some sort of the porabolic trajectory, calculated relatively by formula f(x) = (x/8)^2. Then offset result to the center position.
So, how to calculate: Just take the sin(ticks) and result will be:

Code: Select all

wx = sin(ticks/myspeed) * 128; // 128 means how far from center platform will move
x = wx + centerX;
y = centerY + ((wx/8) * (wx/8)); // 8 means the angle of parabola, you can calibrate values to take best result

If you changing position by the speed changing every time moments, I suggesting you store current position and after calculation set the speed equal to difference previous position and newly calculated (delta). In result, you will have nice parabolic motion.

To be honest, there's nothing 'Bewildering' about this overworld.

To be honest, there's nothing 'Bewildering' about this overworld.

The name thing is takin up way too much of the screen, and the overworld itself is a bit cluttered.

First level of my episode, Mushroom Kingdom Downfall. It uses some mushrooms, platforms and some p-switches here and there.
Feedback is appreciated.

It looks pretty decent, if a little flat sometimes. Also, welcome to the forums!
