Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler
I suppose that would be true if you use the y axis as front and back instead of up and down which would be typical of most 2D games. However, in side scrolers you are only dealing with four cardinal directions or angles, 0, 90, 180, and 270. In a game like sod which I believe deals with 15 degree angles the number goes from 4 to 24 angles the character could be facing.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler
It makes sense to me by thinking of it just as it is--left arrow? move left. Right arrow? Move right. Up arrow? move up something (climbing or whatever). down arrow? move down (descending something.) - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 1:53 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler Hi Mich, I do now understand where you are coming from, but we are actually talking about two different genres of game styles.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler
Hi Charles, Exactly my point. The direction you want to go is equaled on the game pad and keyboard. Changing it would be weird.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler
It does clear up what you mean. One of the whole points of this game was to capture the original game aspect. Have you played the side scroller level of Pipe2 Blast Chamber by BSC Games? Have you played Super Liam? These are perfect examples of a side scroller. Think of you watching your character on television. Think of it as a 2d image instead of a 3d like Shades of Doom. Or even better. Imagine your character is simply drawn on a piece of paper in front of you. You read from left to right. This is like walking forward. If you go to the left you are moving backwards. This way there is only a 2d sence. 2d as in two dimensional is what I mean. Hope this clears it up. Mich Verrier said the following on Mon, Apr 03, 2006 at 10:30:16PM -0400: hi ok what I meant was this in the side scroler game when you move your character sideways across the screen using the left and right arrow keys and you hear the sounds coming up from your left speeker either side of you and from your right speeker as well as in frunt I find that a bit confusing what I would rather like to see is to have the same set up but in stead use the up and down and left and right arrow keys for moving forwerd back left and right and so that it creates a feeling like you are walking in a strait line and then the sounds will come up on your right and left but you would have a better sence of derection. Like the way it is in Sod. I hope this helps clear up what I meant if not then please let me know. -- Raul A. Gallegos ... IliwSsmc ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Monty Traler
Hi, Well, please remember that Monty is fully a 2D game. I would have to end up having to add a 3D array, and drawing surfaces 3D. That would defeat the purposes of recreating the original game.

Hi Thomas, You could also say that Montezuma's Revenge is a first person shooter that moves you left and right and also forward and back. Just imagine... You are standing sideways on a narrow ledge above a drop off, and you can walk sideways until you reach a rickety wood bridge ore rope, then you can walk over them to another ledge.

[Audyssey] Monty Traler
Hi Tom and all. I just wanted to say that I quite enjoyed the new trailer for Monty. I really liked it that you had it like it is in sod where it let's you know what you are picking up etc and also how the door opens and the sounds of the ladders etc. I just liked every part of the new trailer. but if I could make a suggestion. I like the idea of being able to have the option for a side scroler game and possibly a game like it is in sod where the sounds come from right to left and you use the up arrow key to walk between them I hope you get what I mean. well those are just some of my thoughts.

Hi, Snip I like the idea of being able to have the option for a side scroler game and possibly a game like it is in sod where the sounds come from right to left and you use the up arrow key to walk between them I hope you get what I mean. End Snip Can you explain this to me a little clearer? Some additional details might help. The arrow key layout left for left, right for right up for up, and down for down is a logical setup as it is. That is the way side-scrollers are designed The joystick movement is the same as the arrow keys. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
