I would have added a lot of different coloured cue balls as pickups to my mod if I could know which colour they are in the script - as it stands I've used "one balls" everywhere and made them worth 1 game point. I'll need to experiment more before I can make many suggestions as to what would be nice to have, however a good way of seeing you're on the ground could be nice for the sake of platform game mechanics - Something like a parameter for the direction in which a collision is happening being supplied to the onCollision() handler? Perhaps an isColliding() member function too.Īlso, like folks above have said, it would be nice to get more part-specific functionality in the scripting - states of objects and the likes. It's still possible to jump sometimes when it's not supposed to be, and you can climb walls by pushing against them and repeatedly jumping (an interesting if unintended mechanic).
In fact, I've added and removed so many bits to that code, I'm not entirely sure what it does any more! But it gives a reasonably enjoyable mechanic to ball control. I've wound up basing whether you can jump or not on the current Y velocity of the ball (if it's negative at time of collision, we've landed), whether it's still colliding with an object it previously landed on, and whether it's going too fast to be considered landed. Programming in rules for jumping is a nightmare for an object with bounce. I was a little dissapointed I couldn't turn Milton into my protagonist though, as he can't be made to run unless there's cheese about! So instead of making another Tim-based platformer I decided to use a bowling ball as my avatar.
Ive already tried verifying the integrity, but everything seems alright. Most puzzles seem to work just fine, but some just have awkward silence instead of the catchy music (for example, basically all of the Wonderstructs puzzles). Had my first fiddle with making JS mods - it looks like there's a lot of potential. I think it may just be my installation being off, but it feels like some music is just missing.
