I admit that in terms of collision detection, I saw worse, though. *points to Vlax in Omnimaga arcade*
Vlax is awful. =/

This is a neat game that shows a lot of promise.  Hmm, Axe port anyone? ;D

That would be nice, altough maybe something like Shift would be even nicer plus it's more popular I think ^^

best of luck if you try. i imagine the collision detection will give hell with those moving platforms.. but definitely doable. i'm thinking i might try it later.

Just so you guys know, making collision detection with smooth movement can be ok-ish if your character has no acceleration/deceleration and doesn't bounce when touching the floor, like a ball. Otherwise, good luck. I tried, and let's say my engine physics are rather strange at times (altough it does the job). I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Calc84maniac to code Project M physics.

I thought it wouldn't be too hard after having coded an xLIB Metroid game, but the switch from tiled/grid-based movement to smooth movement with physics is really something.

Moving platforms?  I dont remember any moving platforms o.O Unless it was in one of the later versions?  Ive only done Shift 1... (and made a Basic port for an old contest :D)

I think he might have been referring to the game posted in the first topic. Not sure, though. And yeah I did not thought about moving platforms. That makes things even harder x.x

Yup, it has moving platforms. ;D

Eventually, preferably after the contest ends, since it would be too much help and could be abused (even thought they would lose 20 points), it would be nice if someone made a tutorial on collision detection when you have physics of all kind, including acceleration, depending of if you are on a moving platform or not. For moving platforms, one thing I thought is that you could check the ID of the block below you and if it's a moving platform, then you move in the same direction as the block, which switches after a few frames.

Slopes seems to be a major pain, though.
