Cool! I like this trend :) Thinking of making more extensions to it? Very simple scripts, but creates interesting jagged continents. (The simplest way to make them smoother I suppose being just to use larger shapes.) One thing you could try to is place several shapes for a single biome together (not...

Make sure to check "Disable HTML in this post" when posting scripts, otherwise the angle brackets cause parts of the scritp to get eaten, as happened there. Looks like you're using about 4 prefabs there? How are you placing the doors for the prefab rooms? Are you counting the total number ...

Cool! I notice that it generates lots of 1x1 islands. Preventing these in an efficient way (rather than using pathfinding) probably isn't the easiest thing to do. I wouldn't change too much in the scripts, (which look pretty efficient) but here are a few suggestions. Rather than using the GoodToGo v...

I wrote up my answer as a wiki article: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Fake_arrays Alternatively, the specific uniform random selection task you described can be done without an array, using stream processing techniques. Iterate over all the candidate objects doing the following (pseudocode...

What do you mean by 'menu items'?

I went and added a few more uses.

It was rather hidden. I've moved it to its own page:

It's probably not 100% complete; I found a couple minor things that weren't mentioned.

Gosh this stuff all looks great.

Hey Pheonix, is that 1st person game based on the scripts for Sephy's techdemo? Either way would be cool to finally see something more than a demo.

You can also use the the minutes of play, hours of play, days of play commands to measure how long the player has been playing, but that continues to count while the player is in battles or menus.

Also, have a look the Time of Day script which will tint the palette to a specified time of day.

Meow won the Ultimate Challenge Contest with this SMBX game: http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=106766 I disagree that the Ultimate Challenge Contest was a bad idea; it was a great idea. A game could be incredibly challenging and fun at the same time, but to manage to walk that line I t...

There's no option to disable the chequer pattern in the map editor or pick a custom transparency colour, so I should do that. That reminds me of the animating tiles now displayed in the map editor, in particular the tile-picking screen. Those were really jarring and seizure-inducing (especially if w...

Well, I'd prefer a magnet but guess it's a collectable either way.

No, I just mean that using the slice editor on a running game was just something where we said "Hey! This is possible, why not add it? Might be handy for debugging" Hey! Letting you access editor X in-game is possible, why not add it? (I think that being able to view and edit NPCs is a go...

I also know very little abotu the BAtman universe, but creating an original plot sounds ideal. Who is the second hero?

I think this is a nice touch, and actually isn't that uncommon. (One OHR game that did it was Viridia Chapter 2 in HotOHR 2010.) And really, it's no different than a story event that sends you to a new map, except that you have option to avoid the "lost forever" problem if you want.

Thanks for the lengthy writeup, it was quite interesting to read. Wow, some interesting results there. I'm amused to hear at the rank-shuffling caused by the final votes. Honestly, the exact final ranking comes down to dumb luck. For example if I'd had time to play Okedoke and vote on it I expect it...
