"allows for implementation of the map editor"
allows for implementation of the map editor... so you can implement it.. read below.

I'm implementing dynamic map support

Looks, great. Do you allow me to use this in future versions?

EDIT: Saw the pull request, thanks a lot sir. (pretty new to github)
How am i supposed to use a level editor using your changes? (as you wrote so in your pull request)

You have to create your own one.
Then use write to a file like this:

Code: Select all

local code = "return {\n"
code = code .. "    boundaries = " .. mapEditor.map.boundaries
code = code .. "\n    player = { " .. table.concat(mapEditor.map.spawn, ", ") .. "}, \n"
code = code .. "    sensors = {"
for i,v in ipairs(mapEditor.map.sensors) do
    code = code .. "\n        {" .. table.concat(v.coordinates) .."},"
end
code = code .. "    },\n\n    walls = {"
for i,v in ipairs(mapEditor.map.walls) do
    code = code .. "\n        {" .. table.concat(v.coordinates) .. "},"
end
code = code .. "    }\n}"

mapUpdate(name, code)

so basically that would output to

Code: Select all

return {
    boundaries = 0,
    player = {0, 0},
    sensors = {
         {0,0,0,0},
         {1,2,3,4},
     },
     walls = {
          {0,0,0,0}
     }
}

I can help you create a map editor, I am very much interested in this project.
As long as I get push permissions to the repository....

edit: after finishing the table thingy and writing this post, i feel so proud of myself (lol im a grammar nazi)

That would be great, I added you as a Collaborator. Dunno if that's enough (as is said - pretty new to github)

Perfect! I have a few ideas too:
- new components:
lasers: red lasers go in a direction, can be rotated, hit it and you die.
- can be controlled via a button (read on for info about this)
- can be always on
- can toggle (on/off) periodic (every second, 5 seconds etc)

buttons: buttons are activated when you land on it from a jump OR walk on it

walking: press WASD or ARROW_KEYS will allow you to move the character on the block (see code below)
- the maps
maps should be MAP packs wise, see Mari0 (map packs, original levels then other levels etc..)





WALKING:
[spoiler]

Code: Select all

Okay say XXXXX is block and O is character
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
             O

If I press left, then the character goes like this:
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
             O
and then eventually this:
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 O

now when on the edge:
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
O

pressing up will make you go here:
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

makes sense? :)

I'll start on the map editor now...

Yeah i also thought about additional kind of obstacles like lasers or moving walls. Just was too lazy too implement this yet

On the movement part: That would probably change the whole gameplay. I'm not too sure about that. But we'll see..

Okay, the moving thing I wasn't very sure about, I only thought of it because using buttons would require perfect landings.. this shouldn't be a problem as long as the buttons are large enough (although don't hardcode it to hard, so that people using map editors can do as much as possibleh )

EDIT:

https://github.com/paranoiax/LSD/blob/m ... ol-map.lua -- check out some level possibilites... give some!

Avatars... the same. So... annoying.

[josefnpat]

Nixolai also has the same one... wtf.

[qaisjp]

We should all have the same avatar... epicness at it's best.

[Nixola]

My avatar is slightly different than their, I won't ever use an avatar that didn't come out of Gimp
(P.S: my nickname is Nixola, without the last i)

I think this game is nice. I would add a parabole depicting the "next current jump", at least on an "easy mode".
