Slime Salad

If I recall correctly, the dialog we all know and love came from an unofficial english translation of the japanese version.

Maybe they re-translated it all?

Some thoughts: * Is that Misa du Hamstre in the top left on the cover? Yes, I think it is! * Kana learning should have been named Kana practice. ** I agree that educational games all to often fall short of their awesome potential. ** I think a flashcard game is WAY better than a real set of flash ca...

tigsource.com has been hyping Cave Story Wii for a while, so I was anticipating it eagerly. I downloaded it on the weekend, but I have only had a little time to play. it feels like the same game I remember, in spite of the graphical updates.

Dang! I only finished playing the 8-bit contest games last night (just hours before the voting cut-off)

But yes, this will be fun >:)

music_native should loop with no gap. It is also the only backend that supports any kind of loop points.

music_sdl will support seamless looping too, but not until we figure out how to get the latest sdl_mixer.dll rebuild with the right options.

I made an attempt to manually mangle Dragon Warrior 1 a save-ram file for the fceu NES emulator, but I couldn't trigger it (my manglings either had no effect, or erased the save data entirely)

Although maybe DW1 doesn't do it. I'll try again with DW2 some time.

I'm not sure how to find it, but the scariest NES sound for me was the little ditty that played when your Dragon Warrior saved data had gotten somehow corrupted, and the game was polite enough to tell you with a little screen that you just got slimed. I've never heard this, probably because I've ne...

This is because the keyup event for Alt is being lost. This is probably a bug with SDL+Windows7 On my Linux box, switching windows with Alt+Tab does indeed bring up the menu, but when I switch back it does not behave like the alt key is stuck. A future version of SDL will probably have its own bugfi...

The original, with constant floor friction and zero air friction.

Exactly the same, but with extra friction (ground and air) when no arrow keys are being pressed.

Heh! Looks like the sprite cache isn't being cleared right when exiting a game. Sounds worthy of another ypsiliform + release

I actually do a few tricks like that already, like one-pixel events that only happen on even ticks. That works, but it can get awkward.

Maybe I can just cheat on the knockback. Normally it will be based on the usual physics, but if the player is holding the bell, and the enemy is in between the player and the bell, the enemy will always be knocked away from the player no matter what. I think making the bell's chain one link longer c...
