Yes, it's the secret door under the platformes.


But how to make these ugly dragons?
I don't think they'll be easy to make.

Meh, after wasting three days on routines that ultimately ended up not working, I'm down to two days left to make the rest of the engine. And I've gotten almost nothing done since my last update on page 1, so it's not going to even get close to the game I was planning to make. I won't drop out, but just don't get too excited for this. Let's see what I can spit out in two days.

You need no sleep or food.
A human can survive 3-4 days without.
So just programm!!!!!

I hope you'll be ready soon enough.

Finally started working on it again today. Got two hours in and this is what I get:



So many bugs... The floor's supposed to be solid! D:

Why don't you make two floors?
One over the other.
If the game ignors one, there'll still be another.
I think the problem is the large horizontal part. make there two floors.

Yeah that's what I was going to suggest - make a double pixel thick floor.
In-progress: Graviter (...)

No, it looks more like the issue is with detecting the endpoint collisions. It looks like it's not detecting the endpoints there, so it's just falling through.
There's something about Tuesday...


Pushpins 'n' stuff...

^ This. The only "simple" way for me to fix it (which isn't so simple either) would be to lower the threshold needed to detect a collision, but then you'd have problems with collisions that shouldn't be occurring.

In the Group are pic-codes.
I've seen, that strange things happened to them, so I drawn them.
If you want, I can upload them as pics.
