Title: Now, wouldn't something like this just make for a great boss?
Post by: Olivebates on October 14, 2013, 06:08:34 PM: I was captivated by this PMV the other day, and I thought about those timed survive-a-thon bosses. I thought how epic a boss battle like this would be, so I thought I'd share it with you guys, and see what you had to say about it.

(Imagine the platforms that you stand on yourself, and imagine that everything kills you)

Can anyone share my vision?

Post by: Olivebates on October 20, 2013, 05:48:01 AM: Well, I gave it a shot. The biggest problem is desynchronizing when doing heavy calculation.

I tried making some automatic algorithms that just create the boss based on the sound channels of the background music. However, this only seems to be possible if I initialize the whole boss through a multi-dimensional array beforehand.

It's for things like these that I wish game maker supported pointer operators.

multi-dimensional array

No Idea what that is but sounds cool. :Kappa:
