Thanks for wondering about me... I'm doing well. Jumpman is progressing at a decent pace considering I'm back to work full time once again.

I have been working on the details at the end of the game.

* Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Jumpman to immediately fall to his death upon respawning
* Freezing the screen and Jumpman for about 4 seconds when you complete a level in order to accumulate bonus points
* Added in the ability to select and change games speeds
* The timing and sequence of events that lead up to high scores
* Counting down the number of remaining Jumpman and converting them to bonus points
* Top 10 high scores (partially complete)
* Top 10 high bonuses (partially complete)

I'll get some new screenies up this weekend -- maybe sooner.


Thanks to DJ and the Omnimaga staff for moving Jumpman to the Major Projects section.

me too and congrats on the subforum definitely well earned ^^

New Jumpman screenie...



Note: I modified the Hailstones level so that picking up a single bomb ended the level as well as the game.

Here you will hopefully see a more polished game. You will see bonus points racking up for finishing a level early and also for having Jumpmen remaining at the end of the game. You will also see a top 10 high scores for the game score and bonus points.

Enjoy.

Here is a similar Jumpman screenie to the above post...



You will notice that I added the ability to skip through the sequences for racking up bonus points. I added this for the people that may get impatient waiting for the sequence of events to complete -- just press the '2nd' key to zoom through them.

You will also notice a difference in the High Scores screen -- the leading zeroes ('0') are missing.



Question: Which do you like better: with or without the leading zeroes?

Thanks for your help!

Same here; it makes the higher scores stand out more

I love the zeros! It makes me think I can get to 999999 xD

By leading zeroes do you mean the ones before the score, such as 0090000 instead of 90000? I prefer without them if that's what you mean, although to display the score in game I find it cooler when all of them are displayed, since it makes it look more old-skool.
