You better finish this game even if it's not in time for the competition.  I can't wait to play it!

Those physics look bloody amazing! There's only the slight problems with perpendicular walls, but overall this looks bloody great!

Thanks! And yeah there are problems with climbing up walls when you're not supposed to, and I was actually planning to fix that (it's a quick fix), but I got lazy

It looks to me like the person should get impaled on that hill thingy that takes up half the screenie, but that could be just me

Doesn't happen in the real game. He just bounces and shoots out an "OW" sound effect.

Awesomeness.  I'm guessing you're putting in this demo for the contest?

Yep. Hope you guys like it!

I think I found out why this bug is there:

You can fall through platforms. That's the bug.
If you are falling, you sometimes fall down faster than one pixel per step / picture.
That's why the bug is there:
If you are one pixel befor colission with the line, and you fall down 2 pixels, then you're under the line, so that it won't stop you.


The only possibillyties to fix this bug are:

-Making the lines 2 Pixels bold
-Slow down the falling

Oh no, it's a lot more complicated than that. In fact, it doesn't matter really how far you fall. There are problems where you're walking on the line and fall through, and other cases when you fall on the floor at 12 pixels a frame and land fine. This is because I'm not testing by pixel at all (it's ridiculously messy to do so when you've got walls in every conceivable direction), and even if I were I'd use a loop to go through all of it.

I'm actually using vector multiplication (scalar cross for math nerds out there) to test first if you're above the line, then if you're below the line. The problem is that sometimes you don't start above the line, or you don't end up below it, but you still look as if you're supposed to hit it. (Does that make sense?) I couldn't find a reasonable solution for it, so I just lowered the threshold for testing if a he's on the line or not, then reduced the collision radius from 6 to 4; that made it better in most cases.

-Making the lines 2 Pixels bold
-Slow down the falling

Falling accelerates. In the beginning he falls for half a pixel, then gradually increases in speed to whatever, so that wouldn't work anyway.

Please post here, if you've decidet!

Um... Sorry, gonna be busy with other stuff. And I'm burned out from bugs from this project.

Here's the source if anybody wants to pick this up.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

How do these point vector things work exactly?  Afaict they're just line segments...?
