Subject: Re: Nasties - theoretical maximum size?
i don't know, but bear in mind that the height
plays a part as well as the length.
needless to
say, when willy jumps a guardian which is moving
towards him, he's effectively clearing 4 pixels (of the
beast) a frame instead of 2 (if the object were static),
so i would take willy's normal jump and double it
and that should give the number of pixels willy can
clear - given that the guardian is 1 pixel
high.
since the guardian probably isn't 1 pixel high, i guess
it gets a little more complicated ;)
