It redraws the whole thing every frame. (I find horiz/vertical annoying to work with when you have a character in the middle of the screen as well as changing velocities :P)

I kinda see what you mean ztrumpet. I'll get to work on fixing that :)
Yeah true. This is why I didn't want to use them in Supersonic Ball. X.x

It seems pretty fast by the way, despite drawing the whole thing every frame. :D

My maps are 32x32 tiles, though I could change them to any dimensions if I wanted to (but I think I like 32x32)

Yeah, the tilemapper is much fastet than I thought it would be...and it could even still be optimized further...>:D

I never really liked bouncy ball <sic> games much because they're so counterintuitive to a person who's played classic platformers all his life :D Also I was thinking instead of making the player slide off if they get too close to an edge, make it like sonic, where it shows a graphic of him balancing on the edge for a while, then falling off. Or was it SSB? I forget.

i, too, am rather impressed by those ridiculous speeds(and i may have to get you to help with optimising things eventually, if you wouldn't mind). however, i ran into something a bit disconcerting. granted, the player did start inside a tile upon running the program, but the last time it was run he started in the air, fell down, and then got stuck in/proceeded to sink through the ground.

That's... strange.  Good luck fixing it. :)

Could you make it so that so tiles are made of sand and you have to sink through them like that? :D

Is the tile mapper on Full mode, or Normal?

shmibs: thanks! and I would love to help you optimize for blastermaster :).
ztrumpet: Currently the collision is pixel based, but theoretically maybe I could make a special case for the sand tiles...perhaps
Binder: The program is on Normal mode. here's what it looks like on Full XD. It's so fast I can barely control it

Currently I am having issues with slopes, and I'm thinking I'll just resort to having slopey-ness be part of a block's list of attributes (instead of pixel testing) in addition to friction, bounciness, and breakability. (which I haven't really added yet either). So while I brainstorm about this, you guys can have fun with this new build that has different tiles in it :o (and hopefully fixes shmibs' bug)

Note that I haven't yet added level support and that the game, every time you run it, reads whatever happens to be in L1 :P

Holy COW! I have a pretty fast tile mapper, but it goes the speed on Full that yours does on Normal! I really would like to know how you got it to go that fast.

Wow I was thinking to myself "Thats now *that* fast of a screenshot" until I realized I was on Chrome, and it was playing at like third speed XD Amazing job on the mapper and good luck on implementing slopes!  They really are tricky D:

at this point, squidget, i think simply being able to glance at your source would be enough for my purposes (and maybe even run enemies in 6mhz)
EDIT:
there is one thing, though. how could one go about making a loop to accomplish Repeat A=B+C:End (Edit: to clarify Repeat (A=B)+C) without requiring the use of a "="?

Looking great, squidgetx! ;D

While B+C-A: End would probably work. :)

Here is sourcey. It is slightly more optimized than before, too, thanks to calc84maniac.

It probably could be optimized more too, but I think then it would get too unreadable, plus I need the flexibility of the current setup.
Anyway, this offers a pretty good physics lesson as well as a tilemapping one. Have fun guys :)
