Subject: Ladders?
Ok, I'm guessing this is going to be a real pain in the neck, but is
it technically plausible to create a climbable block type in JSW64?
I'm asking because the game I am creating a sequel for, Dark Tower,
has ladders in it and it would be really cool to be able to have them.
However, the fact that 2 more keys would need to be detected in the
movement routine, a whole new branch of the movement routine would
need to be coded (with 2 sprites for 'willy' climbing up/down), not
to mention the code for the actual block, I'm guessing it's either
impossible or just too much of a headache.
If so I'll have to consider making one way ladders out of water, or I
was thinking if I used a clever arrangement of ramps to make the
ladder, I could *possibly* made the ladder descendable by walking
left/right on it (these particular ladders are 2 squares wide). Or
just not having ladders at all ;)
