Slime Salad

I can't see what difference it makes to tracking hidden slices, although I see another reason it would be easier to do it the way that you are. Why would you have to save which sprites you're hiding? Are you using setspritesetnumber instead of setslicevisible? I would use slice extra data to mark an...

16c a game! So that bundle's only been running half a day? Seems like there are a lot of bundles these days. Is groupee a prominent place to get bundles? Since MTM isn't complete and released yet, how does that work? Have any of these games been released (outside of Steam)? Is there a good chance th...

Well, that script's for moving in an arc, not a straight line. Yes, just call "move slice with wallchecking" in a loop. The return value will be non-zero if it hit a wall. For example to move diagonally up-right (4 pixels in x direction, -4 pixels in y direction per tick): while (m...

Oh, I never knew about the slowdown.

Both ways of implementing the scanline limit would work. I think I would prefer the first way. If you find that it's to slow, you can easily speed it up by only processing every second or third scanline; the difference will be imperceptible.

Oh damn, sorry! I missed your post again. I really need to stop using that unreliable "New posts" page. I'm not certain which commit you were using, but that line seems to be: WITH sprite_sizes(dat->spritetype) I can't figure out why you get a crash here; it works for me. C...

I expected to you ask how scroll slices work, but apparently not! - scroll to next child - scroll to previous child (Is this redundant?) Next child from what? There is no concept of a 'current' child. You have to store it yourself in a variable. Then just do "scroll to child(scrollsl, nextsibli...

Unlocking that game is a great idea! Maybe you'll want to remove a forest from the manual, since there's no information about it anyway. Just leaving it in the credits section is a nice obscure reference to it. Normally I would say you use exportglobals and importglobals to save state, but in this c...

So I downloaded the official crosscompiling toolchain, compiled FB, worked around some problems, found that the toolchain doesn't have all the libraries need to link, downloaded Rasbian Lite, that didn't have any graphical libraries, downloaded the full Rasbian, and spent quite a while trying to con...

Keep trying, I know you can beat him... but can you beat me? ;) I beat my previous score by 100, making it a series 43,500, 43,600, 43,700, 43,800. Then I kept playing. I'm going to make you watch the recording to see what score I got, because what fun is knowing the result ahead of time? http://tmc...

I'll get you back for this, Giz! I'll obsolete your next contraption before you ever get it working; I just need to predict what you're going to invent next!

I don't have a cross-compiler set up for ARM GNU/Linux, but I can guide you through compiling it yourself for your machine. You will need gcc, python, scons, SDL and SDL_mixer. I believe the RPi comes with gcc and python. Actually, you shouldn't need a special build of FB. FB supports ARM out of the...

Oh, that makes the multiplier even more important. Once you know how it works, keeping it at 8x becomes really central to play; a lot of the time I'm concentrating more on it than anything else. I still haven't figured out how additional lives are awarded, though. "At multiples of three" d...

Played more Owlbears and started to learn how to play it properly. Timing is everything. Don't hold down shoot. The game seems so simple, but has a fair depth of strategy. I'll be continuing to improve. I was quite shocked when I discovered that somewhere north of 30,000 points the owlbears begin to...

Awesome! No better time to provide feedback than the 1.0 release, right? Firstly, Owlbears is still completely broken. For me the whole game goes crazy under Linux (see gif I posted earlier). I was quite serious when I accused Newbie of putting a kill switch in the demo to make it stop working after...

Yes, what you said about using a tag (or global) is correct. Do something like: global variable(1, in key handler) plotscript, On Keypress Handler0, begin if (in key handler) then (exit script) in key handler := true ...everything else here in ...
