Super Simple Platform Game Engine ^_^

Im in the works of making a super simple platform game engine...

and wanted to see if anyone wants to help out/has some ideas/knows why im going to absolutely fail...

anyways its only 154 lines of script or something like that right now, and its functional enough to see the idea...


Im having a little trouble with the walls, and setting up a loop to hit test all the objects instead of a long or statement...

anyways INPUT IS APPRECIATED GREATLY!

and it would be nice if someone could point out how to do the hittests better...

EDIT **** DO NOT VIEW THIS FLA! its SUPER OLD

ok this Original programing was not going to do the trick...

so I am revamping the system and it is working a lot better...

Umm, still having slight trouble with the way the character reacts when it hits a wall going side to side, Im about to add the tracking for the head also...

afterwards the goal now it to make it so that I can keep track of registered points of a movieclip inside a movie clip for things like the feet, which will allow rotation of the character and slanted surfaces with rotation of the main character to stand on these surfaces...

I found that a simple change of :

Actionscript Code:

if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(leftarmx,leftarmy,true))
        {
            xspeed -=  1;
        }
        else if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(rightarmx,rightarmy,true))
        {
            xspeed +=  1;
        }

from the original

Actionscript Code:

if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(leftarmx,leftarmy, true))
{
xspeed *= -0.5;
}
else if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(rightarmx,rightarm y,true))
{
xspeed *= -0.5;
}

makes a huge difference in the reaction of the impact on vertical surfaces.



my assignment to you guys is to make these things react better and look for ways to improve the script and the reaction to "walls"


*****EDIT

yea I looked at it and actually thought about it and came up with the replacement function, that takes away the repetitive script of the arm check... also it is much more efficient!

function wallhit(){
if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(leftarmx,leftarmy, true))
{
if (xspeed >= 1.5)
{
xspeed *= -0.5;
}
else if (xspeed<=0.5)
{
xspeed -= 1;
}
else
{
xspeed -= 0.5;
}
}
else if (stage_mc.block_mc.hitTestPoint(rightarmx,rightarm y,true))
{
if (xspeed >= 1.5)
{
xspeed *= -0.5;
}
else if (xspeed<=0.5)
{
xspeed += 1;
}
else
{
xspeed += 0.5;
}
}
}

ok i have introduced water, and ladders again...

let me know if yall can help me out with the error im getting when the character is in contact with the ground while in the water.

EDIT***

I fixed the way you act in the water...

umm moving on to program hang able tiles...

for those who dont wanna download the FLA and still see whats going on.


EDIT********

Updated... fixed gravity fields and water...

Haha, it seems to be a one man topic, but actually the engine is pretty cool. You could make a cool game with it.

yea Ive just been posting updates to it on here...

I'm working on a modified version of the engine to show its versatility, by making a top down marble game also...

So I have this engine in development with two different titles being worked on in parallel, If you have any suggestions let me know!
