Feedback is most appreciated!
good job so far. it pretty much feels like you are running a spectrum emulator which is nice. i like the handling of the lifts.
the only problem i noticed was that i could fall down onto a
conveyor, and walk in the directon opposing it. allow me to
illustrate:----
....<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
presuming this comes out right, i could walk off the ---- and onto
the <<<<< and continue walking right, when in JSW reality i would be frozen on the conveyor as long as i pushed rightwards, able only to
jump straight up in the air (by holding right and jump), or let go
and submit to the persuasion of the conveyor ;)i hope you'll be able to add crumbling floors and other oddities into the game engine, to take advantage of this very faithful conversion
to PC :)
I dont' know why, but I always seem to find the conveyorbelt physics
the hardest to program in a JSW rewrite. There are simple rules that
apply due to simple key presses (e.g. if on a conveyor, if you hold
right and jump, you'll jump up instead of right etc..) but can't seem
to get it exactly right :(
btw, are the conveyor physics slightly different in JSW to JSWII?
Of course I always like adding things like the crumbling floors in
later versions of the game, so expect to see them (and a few new
ideas ;))
Thanks for the feedback.
