Problems:
Guy getting stuck in the air.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I can't figure out the problem. Ive tried to find the values of the variables by displaying them on the screen. I got some information from them, but I still cant fix it.

Main problem is that the guy gets stuck in the air.

Location of problem is by the first inequality, checking H

By memory:
If H>1
If H<41
Line(x/256+7,y/256,s,t
;A few other things I cant remember now
If H<15
H++
Y+256->Y
If theta
X+256->X
else
X-256->X
end
If Y/256 = 48 ;If hits the ground
;stops grappling
end
end
some more stuff and then ends.

So, when it reaches the above code and when H = 2, it works. However, it completely skips this when H = 3. It is like 3 is not in between 2 and 40!
To see if the thing is screwing up, I made it display H>1 and H<15. I forgot to do H<41, but that should be true if H<15 (unless the calc thinks 14 and below are greater than 40 )

Both H>1 and H<15 returned 1, but yet it still skipped my Ifs.

I don't know what to do now

So, how should I do the grappling?

I was thinking of having the user hold 2nd to swing and let go of it to release the grappling hook.

I might make it to always make it hit at a 45 degree angle and swing down until the rope is vertical, then change direction.

Suggestions

Finished with grappling.

I made parabolic curves for rope swings
Hold 2nd to swing implemented
More realistic gravity

I lost some progress, but remade it in science class

I'll grab a screenie later

nive, you solved it! well done..
The travelled distance is too big imo, and it seems that it is possible to catch the ceiling really far, maybe too far

it's always so painfull to hear something got lost with a ram clear xs

well, when you're flying really fast, the rope gets attached to the ceiling to far i think, that causes it to go faster an faster, so eventually (if you do it good) you can make him fly endlessly fast

I added a lot to the gravity. That takes almost 96 pixels off of max distance in one swing.

Here, using 3 scale greyscale, I made a test for it by putting all grey under the game. It makes the other stuff look like crap though

I might put some greyscale designs in the background in the future if there's a way to improve it.

I had an idea for pxl texts. Would this work?

For(E,0,W/256)
If pxl-Test(X/256,Y/256+E+8) ;only checks left side right now
;reset stuff
Goto PP
End
End
Lbl PP

I would recommend (to make this go faster)
{°W+1}→θ
For(E,0,θ)
If pxl-Test({°X+1},{°Y+1}+E+8) ;only checks left side right now
;reset stuff
Goto PP
End:End
Lbl PP

Although if your character is essentially a rectangle all you need to do is check the top and bottom corners.
