i should probably fix that

would make for some interesting gameplay though
impacts would cause blocks to shift around
throwing requires aiming (one axis; angle, 0-360)

[Kingdaro]

i have thought about keeping it

i don't think i'll implement 360 aiming, though. trying to keep things simple here, 5 button controls is already pushing it imo

My loving sides.

[Kingdaro]

so i've decided to go with the new realistic collision system

only thing I can't decide on is a threshold for block damage, and whether or not blocks falling from the top of the screen kill you or only damage you. note that in the game I plan to have a survival mode and a lives system by default.



the red numbers on the screen are the velocities of which the player has been hit on the top side by a falling block, in different locations. right now the velocity threshold for damaging/killing is 500. these numbers are showing numbers around 700 near the bottom where the player is most likely to get hit.

i'm thinking i should compile a demo so that you can try it out to see if the velocity threshold is too high, or if there are too many blocks, etc.
