On a side note, for maps, will static backgrounds (for example a bunch of clouds, not necessarily a full-screen picture) be supported? Also will some maps be tile-based?

I don't think so, about backgrounds. It would be visually more attractive but I fear it would add a lot to the lag.

And I don't think so either for tile-based maps. Since maps are mostly empty with only objects here and there (in the rectangle version of Stadium for example you only have 4 objects), I chose to have a "short" list of objects instead of a "big" tilemap that is mostly filled with zeroes. What would be great with a tilemap though is collision detection for example, you wouldn't need to loop through objects, you'd just check if there's something where you are.

keep us updated about new development

Ok, UPDATE

• SMASHH has new constants
• Fox's source is a lot more readable thanks to those new constants (will improve progress on tutorials greatly)
• A smashh.inc appears, for people who want to create their content using Asm (it contains the same macros as SMASHH)
• Falco joins the battle ! He can only dash for now but as you probably already know, he is done "in Asm" and will be useful to the Asm tutorial
• The character selection menu really selects what you choose instead of always loading Fox
• New menu system (most options do nothing)

Source and binaries.

That looks super cool, i really like the menus too.

Off topic: I just noticed that this thread had 1337 views (before I clicked it)

Wow... what a project!

I've know that it's been said enough, but really, awesome job! I can't wait to see this go through and go above and beyond.

I'm not that experienced in programming, but even I know that this took a lot of work.

This... Is... Insane! Really good work Hayleia! The menu looks awesome too. I have no idea how you managed to fit it all in one app space (although I guess you don't have much of a choice when you're using Axe) 

Thanks all

I especially like the ability to write characters in multiple languages.

Well characters are "only" data so it's not language dependent

I have no idea how you managed to fit it all in one app space (although I guess you don't have much of a choice when you're using Axe) 

Keep in mind that character data is not part of the app

True story. I updated the tutorial on Cemetech and created one on TI Planet but forgot I didn't make one here -.-
