The APIs are pretty much ready to go, but I'm trying to finish up a custom level to demonstrate them; I wanted to release them in a similar fashion to how Valtteri unveiled his Flame Chomp & Angry Sun APIs, since that's what inspired me to make these in the first place.

I've also started working on another API that basically acts as a large collection of minor tweaks & gameplay alterations that can be individually enabled. I actually planned to include an alternate powerdown system similar to what you made.

Out of curiosity, what was Rednaxela's MaGLx2 level called and where can I download it?

EDIT: Horikawa actually said here that she may add the Chain Chomp to 2.0, but she would need to talk to Rednaxela first. To be honest, you may want to reconsider extracting the AI, or at least asking Rednaxela if he has any plans to update & release it himself first.

I would be interested to see what you're doing, as Horikawa said she's going to implement a tweaks function into 2.0 in which you can type simple keywords in a text document to add "tweaks" to a level or episode and she put me in charge-ish of writing those tweaks

I know about every one use this :

Code: Select all

 "Death Timer:".. player:mem(0x13E , FIELD_WORD) > 0

but after this we dont know if the player have respawned, I try to use the Animation.getIntersecting with the sprite of death of character and
I store this on a variable and after this when the player stop blinking then put the variable death to 0 or spawned.

but about the blinking this can be a pain to work with because this blinking with powerup to

Any one got better way to got goal for this ?

Sounds neat! You should try using Animation.get(effect ID, section), to check to see if one of the player death anims has been spawned

Animation.getInterssect(player.x, player.y, player.x, player.y)

Wait you mean we can change sprite effect number from the death animation ? I tried and I was thinking it was just read only
probably something wrong I did

Ah I haven't say all the stuff sorry, I used with Animation.getInterssect and I reduced the range with only :

Code: Select all

Animation.getInterssect(player.x, player.y, player.x, player.y)

then it's detect only the animation very near from the player targeted.

What's getInterssect ?

Animation.getIntersecting(number x1, number y1, number x2, number y2)	table of Animation	Returns all effects which are intersecting with an area from x1/y1 to x2/y2.

You meaning the true Death life sign detector until the player has stopped bliking and spawned is done in the 2.0 ?

I think she's referring to colliders.lua, but correct me if I'm wrong. Or she could be saying that a player.alive or function onPlayerKill() will be implemented

Neither. I'm working on SMBX 2.0.

I generally don't use colliders except for quite complex things (I use getIntersecting for most purposes).
