Added new race Viking. Spread some more gems around. Added a flame to the candles. Would like to get the screen more alive. looking at putting a few critters flying or climbing around the tree. When bouncing on a branch , leaves fluttering down stuff like that.

xevdev

Had trouble with posting video from switch earlier for some reason and nearly forgot to show the new race.

xevdev

Needed to convert a vector into a 360 degree angle.

So I got the gem going in the right direction.

SwitchedOn

Love all your commenting @xevdev - takes a lot of commitment to comment every line!

xevdev

So this is what I came up with
///
Function vector_to_angle( n_v )
In angle
n_v = normalize( n_v )
s_angle = asin( n_v.x )
c_angle = acos( n_v.y )

If 
   s_angle < 0
Then
   Angle = 180 + ( 180 - c_angle)
Else
   angle = c_angle 
End if

Return angle
///

xevdev

Oops no commenting.
Just put a vector in and get a 360 angle.
Will add a distance too.
Cos that's important.
Easy to do distance ((0,0),(n_v))
Can't do curly brackets on me phone.
And of course will have to put in a vector so I can return more than one value.

Posted a pic of the code can't see yet.
Where's Peter anyway.???.

xevdev

So this my other program that I've neglected since game jam #1 Still on the to do list.
Shows homing missile style easy to implement.

xevdev

So now has you hit the gems they take off and home around 1000,100 on the screen. Each jem has the initial speed from the hit and I've put a wobble in the code so they don't line up over each other. Need a nice sound effect.
Hopefully tomorrow put them into there own race.

So I've put the running stats on the other day and was mucking around constantly stopping and starting the game and noticed that the memory available was 440 megabytes after coding for a few hours and thought that's strange.
Now I just wrote a function to take a grab out of one of the dizzy levels but did not free that image but would that effect between runs or could it be the file system I created.
I usually have multiple save states but in this game I haven't.
My file system is at 2480

xevdev

Don't know if that changed above can't see the video.
This is the code I used for the grab image

xevdev

On my phone so easier to post the video again for the first one

xevdev

Going to upload the game now and go to bed
Still can't see how it's losing memory between runs this is why I normally save updates.

xevdev

On the home run.
Got the last race coded and working.

xevdev

Love secret areas don't you ?.

xevdev

Completed. Well until I add more anyway.
Added to the start scene some scrolling text for credits.
Made the best time zoom out to make it more obvious when you get a best time. And a little ditty.and some bling.
Pending 6vk73ctf94.
Submitted to the fuze player not a comp.
Hopefully that catches on.
There's still a few things i'd like to do but first I'll have to write a utility to achieve what I'm thinking of.
Before I do that I really need to finish off what I was doing on maelstrom.
It's been a good learning experience and I can't wait to apply some of things i've learnt.

Spacemario

This game looks super fun, I love its personality too

xevdev

Thanks it's my first platformer. I sort of aimed it at my four year old twin nephew and niece who like bright shiny thing's and can't get enough.

xevdev

Oops just noticed this is live but the code is

Congratulations on a job well done! This has become a really nice and complete game! :)
