No, you can't. If you keep your objects organized you shouldn't have that problem.

Ah, so you're the guy who made that game. I didn't see too much of the game but from what I saw, the battleblock theater stage and the deca corner troll were pretty clever. The rest of what I saw decent-ish.
If your goal was "I can do better than that" then I would say you definitely hit the mark.

Unfinished / Incomplete / I Wanna Go the Tower [v0.3]
« on: August 09, 2014, 10:23:33 AM »
About
I Wanna Go the Tower is a puzzle platformer. Or at least this is my attempt at making a puzzle platformer. I don't have much time to work on it right now as I have a full time + a part time job, but I'd like to see what people's opinion on it are so far. If you've played the adventures of lolo or DROD this might look very familiar.

1. The player's hitbox uses a seperate rectangle sprite placed around the middle of the player. The sprite is 11 pixels wide by 21 pixel high. It goes from his feets to the top of his head.
2. Gravity is 0.4 and it points down. Jump strength is 8.5. On the first step the player will move 8.5 pixels high, on the second step the player will move 8.1 pixels high, on the third step the player will move 7.7 pixels high. Every step the player looses 0.4 vertical speed (gravity). If the player releases shift and he's going upwards, his vertical speed is multiplied by 0.45.
3. The double jump is the same princible only his jump strenght is 7.
4. The FPS should always 50. This is the number of steps executed per second. The player speed is always 3 pixels. If the FPS is 60 he will seem like he's walking faster but is still 3 pixels per step.
At 50 FPS the player would move 150 pixels in a second. (3*50)
At 60 FPS the player would move 180 pixels in a second. (3*60)

I don't think the message system has been working since starz0r switched hosts. Like paragus said, I'd say at least 95% of the community is on skype, steam and twitchTV.
If you do have skype, add me "sephalosx". I should be able to get you in touch with pretty much anyone you need.

Programming Questions / Re: Needing an engine...
« on: July 31, 2014, 03:43:00 AM »The phisics are an easy fix. If I remember correctly the only problem with it is the max falling speed which should be set to 9.(Going slightly off topic) The thing that bothers me about this though and don't take this the wrong way i'm not trying to be an asshole, the post was on July 8th and you're just responding now because its been moved into game design, It wouldn't hurt or kill you to look on the other boards and go on twitch.tv sometimes you know, that's the way to find out what's going on, it's where everything happens, a lot of people have made this point and it is indeed very true, take this under consideration and if you want if you really want to be a part of this community, the forums don't really do the trick for you.No offense taken, but to that point, I really don't have a lot of time to spare to do that. Plus, I'm not much of a forum guy.
Yes, I generally only explore the Game Design section and the Fangames section of IWBTForums, but you try having a full-time job, and a marriage, and a schedule that is constantly getting filled with shit you don't want to do, and see if you can still manage to keep up with everything. It's simply not doable for me, and it's also the reason why part 3 of the contest results has taken so long.
In any event, I will do my best to check out the physics employed by engines like the Yuutu edition and such, and see if I can make any improvements there. Programming is a large part of my real-world job now, so I have a lot of ideas of how to modulate the engine and make it more readable and user-friendly.
My main problem with YoSniper engine for me was the way the collision with blocks was coded. The collision with walls on the left and right are a bit off and makes the player wobble when jumping on edges. The collision with the ceiling will stop you from double jumping under it if you are too close to the ceiling, I tried fixing that one but just couldn't find a good way other than revert to solids.
Unfortunately solid objects didn't work very well with what I had already coded in IWBT8b.

I didn't try your game but here are the specs of the usual engine.
Room speed should be set to 50.
Gravity should be 0.4.
The first jump should should be -8.5 vspeed.
The double jump should be -7 vspeed.
Running speed should be 3.
Maximum falling speed should be 9.
When you release shift and your vspeed is smaller than 0, the vspeed should be multiplied by 0.45 for variable jumping.
Good luck with your engine.

If supersound does have a bug with Windows 7 then I would need someone to test it.

Version 3.1 update.
The engine now uses SuperSound.dll instead of the SuperSound extension.

Are you trying to tie in 1500 fangames from the wiki to the original IWBTG as sequels?
