Slick Forums

Hey guys.

This is my first Slick project called "Forever Fable". I will likely be working on this for quite a while seen as at the moment, I'm doing everything by myself - graphics, music, and programming.


The title screen.

You can get a very early demo from here:
http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/rpg/forever-fable/1965/

It mainly just shows off some of the graphics.

CONTROLS
=======
Arrow Keys - Move + Jump (UP x2 to double jump)
K - Kill (You can still move around once dead! ;D)
L - Kill (A Little less dramatic)
D - Kill (DOOOOM!)
R - Resurrect

The grass is currently a pixel too low, but I've fixed that in a later tileset. Don't walk off the edge of the map or you'll fall

Hi!

The demo looks nice, even in its reduced size:) Any chance to see the underlying code?:)

ciao!

I'm not making the whole source available at the moment, but if you're interested to how how anything specific was done, I could show you relevant bits.

Thanks:)

The interesting part should be the collision code, if it's box-based etc., how you manage collisions between sprites (if applicable yet), and if you use a sort of tree subdivision for speeding up the process.

I have it running and not yet complaining about it, but I am interested in new ideas:)

ciao!

Collisions are all still a bit in the working, but I created a CollisionDetector class which has an imagesCollide() method, which I use to detect pixel-perfect collisions between images. This only checks the overlapping area of two images, so when the images boxes are not overlapping, there is no extra processing.

I don't yet have collisions between two sprites, but I am using a divide-and-conquer approach to identifying collisions with the map.
