Wow nice, I wonder if in the future collision detection will be possible with something else than pixel-test, so you can have a wider variety of tiles instead of just plain black?

thanks, well actually I'm going to make all my tiles that are not solid objects, because I can have any tile I want, it will just pxl-test() for pixels only not whole tiles.

what about for example tiles like this, though?

Code: [Select]
OOOOOOOO
O      O
O      O
O      O
O      O
O      O
O      O
OOOOOOOO
?

If mario falls at a 2 pixel per frame rate, wouldn't he risk of going through this block?

well yes, but he doesn't fall at 2 pixels per frame, but if he was too, I would do the check twice in a row, which is how I do the running :P
I'm using the pixel test method in my tutorial.

won't it get too slow, though, if it won't fall faster than 1 pixel at a time? I noticed in your screenshot it seemed to have lower framerate alerady. Did you just slow down movement?

no it wont, my screenshot is slow because it's running at 6MHz, it runs way too fast at 15MHz. and so far on a 83+ it runs fast enough to be very playable :P it does seem a tad bit slow, but that is ok, because I will aim for 15MHz calc's and it will still be fast enough to play. and actually for the running, it does run faster, because it's only testing the X-axis stuff twice, so it's a little bit of slow down, but the speed increase is enough to make that slowdown null.

Don't forget, you can move 1 pixel at a time but update the screen every other time, so it appears you are still moving at 2 pixels per frame, but with the accuracy of 1 pixel per frame and nearly the same speed.  That's what I did for starship.

You could do it like BuilderBoy and have everything multiplied by 64, then divide it by 64 in the draw code.  That way, you have a lot more precision.

I actually use both of the previous suggestions in Portal right now :) It moves at a maximum of 1 pixel per frame, but updates only every other frame.  And the coordinates are stored x64 for more precision, for the acceleration and stuff

Lol, well mine is kind of doing that, but instead it's applying x-axis checks twice per frame for running, I'll try to upload it today so you can see.
