leafiness0 came up with a good idea for one button on two doors (not sure if it's compatible with your code though): stack the two buttons together.

If it's tile based, which it prob is, that won't work. If switches are objects it would, but they prob. aren't

Thats crazy though.  So crazy it just might work O.O

And yes, switches are object based :) They need to be so that the engine knows which switch is connected to which door.  It also helps with the compression :)

Eh I just use it mainly to save mapping space. It looks funky if multiple switches are linked to stacked doors because the door animation looks weird.

BUG: if you shoot a portal, and then shoot a failed portal(e.g.,it goes into a wall that doesn't allow portals) and then step into the first portal you made, you disappear and die

Did you fix the one where if you put down two portals on the floor and you jump into one of them and let it keep running, you get infinite y velocity eventually?

A quick feature request - have some sort of graphical difference between portals, and display which one is currently set to fire, then allow the user to change which one is about to fire.

Eh no here's the glitch - watch through it and you'll see what I mean. I think it has to do with the way Axe rounds numbers because it happens to me too:

The last one you put down has a faster animation. The slower one is the next one to fire. Switch by pressing 5 ;D

Hmm strange, I guess that should probably be fixed since people might abuse it for exploits. :P
