Re: Pixelart - Canvas rendering question

Interesting, thanks! So I basically just need to change the dimensions to a whole number. I thought I was already doing that. But I'll have a looksy, and update the topic when I got it fixed. Thanks a lot.

Pixelart - Canvas rendering question

I'm working on a simple Castlevania-style 2d platformer. It uses an 8-bit style, with tiles that are 8 by 8 pixels. Naturally this means all this stuff has to be stretched to fullscreen. Drawing the tiles directly to the screen, and then scaling them, gave very bad results. I basically got a lot of ...

Re: Need help with BUMP collission resolution

Thanks for all the great advise. I've got it working now.

Now its just a matter of cleaning up all the movement rules for the player, so she can smoothly transition between normal movement and climbing ladders. That will just take a bit of trial and error.

Re: Need help with BUMP collission resolution

UPDATE! I figured it out I think. It seems the playerFilter, since it is a function, does not like being passed along to another script as if it were a local value. I'm not exactly sure why this doesn't work, but moving the playerFilter to main.lua instantly causes the filter to work. But the boolea...

Re: Need help with BUMP collission resolution

Hmm, it still doesn't seem to be working. So, first of all, before I move the player, I initialize the playerFilter, like so: playerfunctions.lua: local playerFilter = function(item, other) print("Checking collisions...") if other.isWall or (other.isPlatform and player1.Y >= other.y + othe...

Need help with BUMP collission resolution

I'm just getting started with BUMP, and while the basics seem straight forward, the documentation leaves a little bit to be desired. Specifically regarding collision types, and collision resolution. I've got a basic 2d tile-based platformer working, with "slide" as the collision resolution...

Re: Simple question about tables

Success! http://oi66.tinypic.com/2hdscxs.jpg The particle system is working! The game first creates particle emitter templates, which can then be spawned when a script calls for it. Once a particle emitter has been created, it can be addressed by name later, and switched on or off, or have its posit...

Re: Simple question about tables

So, I now use this script to copy a particle emitter template into a list of active emitters. function createEmitter(emittype, emitname, active, emitx, emity, xspeed, yspeed) local currentemitter = emittertypes[emittype] local newemitter = emitname emitterlist[newemitter] = {name = emitname, type = ...
