Subject: Single-cell ramps in JSWED
In Message 4969 (2005-10-22), I wrote:
"JSWED should allow you to grow a ramp or conveyor off the vertical edges of the screen (but should not allow you to grow a ramp off the top of the screen). I like to exploit wraparound ramps and conveyors in my games, so of all my suggestions, this should be one of the highest priorities."
I'm now trying to put a single-cell '\' ramp in the leftmost column of a certain room in a JSW48 game, but JSWED won't let me do it. It seems that the only way to make a single-cell ramp is to grow it to two cells and then shrink it back to one, and JSWED won't let me grow it off the left edge of the screen.
The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to trying to put a single-cell '/' ramp in the rightmost column.
Don't get excited: I'm not planning to release a new game anytime soon.
