Duckbill: Week 2

No time to talk, download this: Duckbill-r12.zip (Google Docs)

Don't worry that the revision number went down, that's because the revisions were reset when migrating from Google Code to Assembla.

Features:

- Random map generation

- Random platform generation

- Three kinds of item

- Lighting system

- Shoot badguys

Caveats:

- Maybe it'll hang when you create a new map. If it does, the chances should be slim, so quit and try again.

- You can fall into a room you can't jump out of. The entire map is visible from the get-go, so if this happens it's kind of your fault (see How to Read the Map), but it still sucks so I'm working on it.

- For that matter, sometimes the random platforms will generate in such a way that makes jumping to the next room difficult or impossible. I know how to fix it; that's coming up next week.

- Generating larger maps takes a while now that I'm placing platforms in each one.

How to Read the Map:

Color of room corresponds to how high it expects you can jump. The colors go Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Holyshityou'restillplaying. If a room is slightly darker with a gray outline, it's a darkened room, and you'll probably want to get a light upgrade before you go in. If a room has a red outline, there are enemies in it, and you might want to find a gun first.

Also: arrowkeys will move the map, and plus or minus will zoom or shrink it, respectively.
