So in the rope sliding animation, are you using slices with the same sprites as heroes, with the real heroes hidden somewhere?

I don't think there is enough information in the code you posted for me to be able to tell what is going on here. The only references to heroes are in this part: set hero position (1, 11, 10) # hero at walkabout rank 1 add hero (hero:Plume) # hero with ID hero...

Aww.. I feel sad about this one. The new sprite is good, but I loved the hulking ogre-bear pose of the old version

Are you using the new version I uploaded a few weeks ago? Or an old version you downloaded a long time ago? I could swear that I already stripped out the old CTRL+J calibration. That isn't supposed to exist anymore... (and if it does, I need to hurry up and remove it) I seem to remember that last ti...

If you find any such spells, I would consider that an engine bug. Please let me know!

After much consideration, I have decided that yes, I will once again be offering bugfixes/feature-requests to everybody who completes an entry. I can't predict how much free time I am going to have for engine work the rest of this year, so I really encourage people to suggest features that aren't to...

His limbs do seem rather tube-like. Only the left arm has an easy to see joint. Check out Zangief's left leg here: <img src="https://i.imgur.com/TKk9Nmp.gif"> Notice that the overall shape of his left leg is really simple and tube-like, since the angle of his knee is such that you can't se...

There is an option in the map settings that determines if the Hero and NPC share a layer, or if they are each in their own layer. When they are all in the same layer, their overlap is determined by pixel Y-value, but when the Y position of a hero and an NPC is the same, the sort order can be unexpec...

This sounds very familiar. Someone else definitely reported some symptoms like this, but I can't remember who.

The window remains slow even when it returns to focus, right?

And does going into/out of full-screen mode make any difference?

I was thinking about difficulty in Roguelikes, and about different ways that frustration and success can be balanced against one another. I tend to enjoy it when after succeeding, I feel as if I have solved a puzzle I tend to not enjoy it very much when after succeeding, I feel as if I have won a lo...
