Little game I've made as a challenge to myself in 3 days.

Important: on normal there are autosaves during the avoidance boss. Play on hard if you don't want them.

Text is absolutely unreadeable sometimes, so I've made a simple draw_text_overlay script to make it better:

Code: [Select]

///draw_text_outline(x,y,text,textcolor,outlinecolor)

var _x;
var _y;
var text;
var color;
var outlinecolor;
_x = argument0;
_y = argument1;
text = argument2;
color = argument3;
outlinecolor = argument4;

draw_set_color(outlinecolor);
draw_text(_x-1,_y+1,text);
draw_text(_x-1,_y,text);
draw_text(_x-1,_y-1,text);
draw_text(_x+1,_y+1,text);
draw_text(_x+1,_y,text);
draw_text(_x+1,_y-1,text);
draw_text(_x,_y+1,text);
draw_text(_x,_y-1,text);
draw_set_color(color);
draw_text(_x,_y,text);

This is how it looks in game in debug overlay:

Would be pretty nice to see it in engine if you're going to update it.

You can add environment_get_variable("COMPUTERNAME") to the checksum as an option to prevent sharing save files.

Sometimes vines are not working (the right one), I wasn't able to reproduce it again. I guess if this is a mistake that causes the bug:

Code: [Select]

if (distance_to_object(objWalljumpL) < 2 && place_free(x,y+(global.grav)))
...
if (distance_to_object(objWalljumpR) == 1 && place_free(x,y+(global.grav)))

Edit: I got it, it's because of slip blocks which make player coordinates being changed to something like N + 0.5 exactly, works with everything else. Changing == 1 to < 2 seems fixing it.

Well, there's too many shitty changes I've made, so I'm just going to explain how I've made it insteat of posting it here.

Changed code is this:

Code: [Select]

if (keyboard_check_pressed(global.pausebutton) && !global.noPause) {
    global.pause = !global.pause;
    if( global.pause ) {
        instance_deactivate_all(true);
        surface_copy(global.pause_surf,0,0,application_surface);
    } else {
        instance_activate_all();
    }
}

So, I'm making a pause surface at the start of the game in variable initialization script and added a clear memory script to delete it if you press F2, but it'd be much better to not restart the game and ust move to the title again, because it does the same work all over again if you restart game. It'd be harder to make, I think, I didn't look into the whole code. Also, you need to add a check for a pause to not to increment time while paused. Oh, and I almost forgot to post draw GUI code of objWorld:

Code: [Select]

var str, off, th, tm, ts;

if(global.pause) {
    draw_clear(c_black);
    draw_surface_ext(global.pause_surf,0,0,1,1,0,c_white,0.5);
    draw_set_color(c_white); //Font color
    th = floor(global.time/(60*60));
    tm = floor((global.time/60) mod 60);
    ts = floor(global.time mod 60);
    str = "Time: "+string(th)+":"+string(tm)+":"+string(ts);
    off = view_hview - string_height(str)-8;
    draw_text(8+string_width(str)/2,off,str);
    str = "Deaths: " + string(global.death);
    off = off - string_height(str)-8;
    draw_text(8+string_width(str)/2,off,str);
    
    str = "PAUSE";
    draw_text(view_wview/2,view_hview/2,str);
}

Offsets maybe broken a bit, I've expected it to be drawn from a top-left corner and not from a center.

Hey, you've made a massive work. That's really awesome.
Do you need any help, by the way, to create the engine faster? I've made a simple pause, it works pretty well, I think. If you like it, I can post a diff with version 0.5 here.

Edit: found a bug, when you can't complete the game on impossible mode, because objGameEnd doesn't save you and there's no savepoints in the end room.
