yeah especially now that there are so many fps's. what I like about side scrollers is that you don't have to worry about being lost or anything like that. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Charles Rivard" ; "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 6:58 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Side-scrollers was super liam versus danger city Hi Charles, Interesting you bring that issue up.

The biggest problem was he designed this graphical level editor to draw levels for the game which wasn't accessible in any way, shape, or form. Plus I had already heard at that time that with Vista coming out Visual Basic 6 was soon to become unsupported. I felt the game needed to be rewritten from scratch to fix both issues.

Re: [Audyssey] Side-scrollers was super liam versus danger city
Hi Peter, Yeah, side-scrollers are easier to navigate, but at the expense of more elaborate level designs. Since side-scrollers are only 2 dimmensional in nature there is only four directions to choose from: left, right, up, and down. As a developer I find that pretty limiting when it comes down to creating new and possibly different level layouts. For example, one common problem I noticed with classic side-scrollers is sooner or later the levels would repete one another. In a game like Super Mario Brothers you would start in an above ground level, then go to an underground level, have an underwater level here and there, and a castle level. Then, the entire sequence would repete over again. After a while the sequence would all be the same, and I found it sort of boring to be playing the same basic levels over and over again. I'm trying not to do this in Mysteries of the Ancients. Although, one game that wasn't afflicted with this problem was Megaman. The developers did a good job on verying each level so that it didn't feel like the same old content being tossed at you over and over again. Each world had different enemies, different traps, and every boss was different. This is where Super Liam shines because it uses the same basic format or formula that Megaman did. As for myself I've been doing lots of research on level layouts, been reading classic side-scroller walkthroughs trying to get ideas for new and interesting levels for the game. Like Megaman I don't want to loop the same level and same content over and over again until the final boss battle. I want each level to be somewhat unique and stand on its own.

Well, I find playing baby black hole on easy difficulty to be insane for me. >From level10 the ships are falling too fast. And there is just too much ships on the screen at once. It really feel like I am playing on insane difficulty. This does not feel like the easy difficulty. It really feels like insane. Well the ships are behaving insanely. If it were really the easiest, I would have easily completed the game a number of times. But each time when I reach level10 I quickly lose all my lives because the ships falls too fast. I may have a slight chance of shooting down more ships when I shoot like Rambo, but then I sit with a bad lazer accuracy. And the land your ship bonus level is just too hard. I really press my up arrow continuously, so muchso that my hole arm is aching, but still I cannot land my ship. Can jammin jerry or anyone else please give me directions on how to position my fingers on the up arrow and the left and right arrow. I have tried many ways of positioning my fingers but no matter how fast I tapp the up arrow, my shihp does not land. And I do take into consideration what jammin jerry said in his review. If I hear my ship drifts offd to the left, I press my left arrow once or twice, but no more than that. The same with the right arrow key. If baby black hole on easy difficulty were really as easy as jammin said, ships would have fallen much slower. And level16 is impossible. There is so much ships on the screen that I get confused, I do not know whether I should destroy the shields or the ships first. And a lot of the times, when I am fortunate enough to reach level16, I cannot locate the shiels as there is too much ships on the screen. So these are my complains for trupenam 2. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Monte Level Editor was super liam versus danger city
Hi Bryan, yes, James North was sighted. His level editor was completely mouse driven. you used the mouse to draw the level maps, and then it would be saved to an array. Which could be serialized and saved to a binary map file. AS a result I couldn't use it. Bryan Peterson wrote: I assume then that he was sighted if he was working on a graphical level editor? I imagine one of those would be hard to design with sound only. You'd probably have to make it screen reader friendly I'd imagine. You have acquired the skill of Weaponry Theremin.

Re: [Audyssey] Monte Level Editor was super liam versus danger city
Hey Thomas, I'd actually be interested to know some of the technical details behind that editor. I've been contemplating a side-scroller engine for a while. I'm currently creating a maze game in Lua using a 2d array to represent the tile/ground data, and a table of objects/tables with x and y coordinates among its' fields for each non-tile object. (this game is being written in Lua for the Klango environment; tables are basically associative arrays or dictionaries... structs if you will). It would be cool if my sidescroller could somehow support images, or at least represent each enemy as a rectangle or square. As I understand it, most sidescrollers use "tile-based" maps, where each tile is a set width and height (32x32 usuauly) and one just drops them in a level. Tiles would represent ground types (acid, lava, etc). Is this how James handled the original Monty levels? I think such an editor could be easily doable using audio, as unless I'm mistaken, the tiles just need to be placed rather than actually drawn. Objects (like weird-shaped enemy creatures) are usually drawn once and re-used (much like sounds are created once and re-used). Sometimes one might draw a weird looking "entity" and use it only once or twice in a level. I think they use colision "boxes" where the player picture is checked to be hitting a box belonging to the picture of the level or the enemy. In a perfect world I'd look at the monty source, but NDAs and legal issues would probably get in the way even if you did want to release it. I know this is scattered, but I'm still a little confused on this, and the Alchemy Monty (despite glitches related to passing through walls) seemed pretty well coded to support a visual display as well as more realistic handling of objects and movement.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm having a bad time with trupenum 2
Hi Nicol, Actually Baby Blackhole is probably the easiest of the Troopenum 2 missions, but you still have to prepare in advance for level 10 and on. One way you can survive those higher levels is by stock [piling all of the special items and weapons you can. The super laser, ground nukes, extra lives, and so on are extremely critical when going into the higher game levels. As you noticed enemyes will try to swarm you, and the only thing between them and you is weaponry. If there are ships piling up on the ground nuke them. If you can destroy a group of enemy ships at one time do it. Otherwise you will have to go to Rambo mode and strafe the screen left and right hopefully destroying several ships in a row. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm having a bad time with trupenum 2
s! p! o! i! l! e! r! When trying to land the ship in the first bonus level, if your ship drifts to the right, tap the left, not the right, arrow. This will move you back in the direction from which you were blown from, and will put you back over the center. As far as where to put your fingers during this level, I rapidly tap the up arrow with one finger of each hand to keep the ship in the air longer to rack up points. As for the higher levels of the game, save those special items for as long as you can. Those super lasers can sure come in handy when the sky if loaded with falling ships. The Nukes can come in really handy, too. Also, remember that one of the special items will either drop you down a level or get you through a difficult level, but it's a gamble you might take at your own risk.

[Audyssey] Troopanum2 and A I T O - Re: I'm having a bad time with trupenum 2
Yes, Baby Black Hole is the easiest, as there are no moon rocks to contend with. And, just because it is said to be the easiest level, this does mean that it is easy. It only means that the other levels of skill are harder. Another good example of this is Aliens in the Outback. Is the easy level really that easy? Not for me, as I am still trying to find the secret to those level 3 ships. And, is it my imagination?, or is wave 4 usually the hardest wave. Seems like wave 5 is usually easier to get a no lander bonus on than wave 4 is.
