Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

Can somebody make a basic platformer using this code? If I had an premade example to work from, it'd help my comprehension of the tutorial.

lol i misunderstood this post... I thought he was asking for BASIC platformer, but it really was the basic platformer game using this CODE... haha oh well, I can post BASIC version in another topic^^

Yeah AI is the difficult part. Zelda DLQ uses very basic AI for enemies. All they do is moving slowly towards you.

Yeah it can be a problem...I might make a tutorial for how to make AI's when I get the time...I usually just have really simple AI's that just move back and forth. Although I will make one that is an exact copy of the users code just with random numbers instead of keytests.

at the moment I am thinking about attempting collision detection from list-based maps, so I have more freedom in what kind of tile I can choose (since pxl-test collision detection still has its limitations). I don't think I'll attempt slopes yet, though

You can have a lot more freedom. I was too lazy to try and code one though :p but this works fine and I can code into a list all my objects.

can someone explain the second collision detection section, my logic seems to be failing at it.  to me it seems like it would store 8 to Z if the first pixel tested is true, and since it adds to the number then if the first pixel were on and another one was on, then it would return a different number.  I could just be misinterpreting it, also great tutorial

Yes that's it. So you can test for specifics. It's how I do ramps. Thanks

Hey Eeems, have you thought about updating the tutorial for the new versions of Axe? I just wasn't sure if there was any syntax or anything that has been outdated.

The only change that could affect it as far as I can see are the Axe tokens. Not much changed in the commands themselves (which is a good thing :)).

Ah ok. I just looked through and saw syntax and wasn't sure how much would have changed is all. Thanks :)
