Well, technically I've been improving the graphics routines (i.e. the tilemapper and sprite routines). I've been avoiding having to work with hills... :P

is it grid based or triangle based? Also are the slopes always .5 or are there other slope ratios

It's grid-based, but it calls the tile collision callbacks each frame so I can customize the collision if I need to. (You know, check the coordinates of the object and see if it collided with the slope :P)

i wouldnt want to mess with slopes, it must be very hard to code x.x, I don't recall seeing any SMB clone/pirate game for calc/PC respectively that had working slopes. Usually those that handled them did it in a glitchy way, especially the sliding

I also noticed you haven't been around much lately, same for Necro O.O

I've been finishing up my course work and getting reay for my exams for the quarter

if its grid based, would a lookup table be quicker than actualy trying to do the math?

in pure basic terms, i can sort of see how it can be coded.

but beyond that i dont think it would be terribly hard >_>

It already uses a LUT for the tile callbacks, and the math is quite simple... it just has to take the position collided within the tile and compare the x and y coordinates. Right now I even have it so that it makes sure his head won't go through a block when he's going up a hill. :D However, there is a bit of a glitch that happens with objects 8 pixels high... and I'm pretty sure what it is, too.

In other news, I updated his horizontal acceleration code to make it more accurate to the originals: when he's jumping, he does not accelerate or decelerate unless you press an arrow key. He used to go back to zero velocity just like he was on the ground.
