That jigglypuff is looking quite nice. ^^ I still *really* need to try to find the time to work on some characters for you.

Thanks ^^
And don't worry, there's no hurry
Just be sure, if you work o a character, to have it well sized compared to Fox, Jigglypuff, Falco and MetaKnight

Have you considered hard-coding the movement into the app, using variables in the appvar to control specific speeds and friction? (or is this even possible?)

I don't think I understood what you are asking. Or maybe I am but what you ask is already done
It's already the app that checks input and gets characters in some states depending on what keys are pressed (except for specific things such as canceling), using constants in the appvar (exactly such as speed and friction) to have characters not behave the exact same way.

And if you suggested this to save space, I don't think it would really help. It's really sprites that use space. See MetaKnight and JigglyPuff: they can do the exact same moves but MetaKnight's appvar is 4 times bigger than Jigglypuff's because he has some of those huge sprites.

Are you using compression on the character data?
I know that it wont help when it's running and in RAM, but I'm thinking about for space when it's not running.

I don't. Because I use a lot of labels everywhere and it's easier in non-compressed data

Could you also put in a debug-like hitbox view option? Just black rectangles wherever hitboxes are?

I probably could. I just need to code the "Options" menu.

Good news ! Seems like Multi is only half broken
Basically, if you do what you used to do to play Multi, you'll manage to play, you'll just have one calc be stuck at the "Waiting for other calc" screen but still sending inputs to the other calc so you can play by looking at the other screen.
I have no idea why it does that though. If it manages to send inputs, it means it's out of the initialisation loop so I don't know why it keeps saying "Waiting for other calc"...

Wow, that meta knight look sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. Now I'm even more sad that I can't send things to my calc.

My USB port is broken and I don't have a Silverlink (yet)

Did you send characters in archive ? Because if you don't have any character in archive, the program probably goes in a loop that runs 65536 times.

Did you read the readme ? Because you absolutely don't need FOX.8xp (you actually need nothing that is in the src folder). Or maybe you downloaded a wrong version ? Be sure to use this one, other sources might be outdated.

Have you considered having the camera move randomly so that it would appear as if the camera was drifting? I think that this would be a cool effect.

No, I think that there should be a range that the camera is allowed to drift (only a few pixels up down right or left) though because when both characters are not moving it looks too rigid.

OK, it depends how you wrote the camera but good luck on it. What's planned for the next update?
