Yep. Actually, here's the next installment of the storyline. . .  :hyper:

[story]
You pursue the trail of the murderers for three days. Never sleeping, stopping only to eat, you make good time. By the time the tracks disappear, you are worn out. You rest for a day at the foot of a mountain. One night, a rumbling awakens you as a stone door slides open in the mountainside. You enter cautiously, sword at the ready. . .

Soon, a glow appears. You round the corner and see a pool of lava. Sitting by its edge are three creatures. Short, armored, and segmented, they look remarkably like lobsters. You charge. They give a good fight, waving their red-hot claws and trying to get at you. However, your blade is too fast and dispatches them neatly. You continue deeper into the mountain.
[/story]

You are going to go deep inside a volcano for the rest of the story as you fight various underground creatures. ;)

I couldn't resist the temptation to add Netham. ;D
Here's the final release of tilemap Demo 1, featuring walls and empty spaces.

Now that that's done I can begin Tilemap Development: Phase II
My goals: 1. Add lava flows and explodable walls.  :D
              2. Fix any errors or glitches in the scrolling.  >:(

*BUMP*
Here's a problem: I want to have different terrains (lava!) that you can only go into or across if you have a special item (lava boots!). However, I can't do all that checking for terrain and items in the movement engine because it would slow it down too much. . .

Well, this situation reminds me of lava in Pyyrix.  Here's what I did:

- First, I checked to see if the byte corresponding on the map to the tile to my right (for example, only to the right for now) was lava
- I only checked if a key was pressed to conserve speed when not pressing keys
- If it was lava, then I checked to see If the var telling whether or not I had lava boots was true
- if true, allow movement to the right
- else, say something like "AHHHGG banana you are indeed sir lava == bad" (for example)

Looks nice c.sprinkle! Are you planning to add smooth scrolling when the character reaches the edge of the map?

I also like the story so far.

I am going to rework this, but at least I finally have a chance to continue. I have no idea how this will go, but watch for any new developments.
I am planning 1-pxl scrolling next.
