I'm going to try this out when i'm on my PC . It better fix the slopes with Mario a pixel off, Mario getting pushed into the wall, getting hurt above enemies, (Says all the tiny glitches).

Hello wrote: Indentation: Every line of code is properly indented. wow, he actually listened to a major critique of his and probably promptly ignored the rest of them Char and Guinea, care to take a gander at this thing?

Post subject:	Re: Hello Engine 5
Right when I thought there couldn't possibly be any more... EDIT: Also, Mario runs way too slowly visual-wise.

oh, it still doesn't have commenting? seriously, this is really necessary so people can at least try to understand it so we can potentially conjure up more creativity in people who use this engine

Meh. This update fixes a few of the most glaring of the Hello Engine' many faults, notably the lack of indentation, but it doesn't introduce a lot of new features and still has nothing resembling commenting. This is more like a Hello Engine 4.1 - as I wrote a year and a half ago when Hello replaced his HE3 with HE4: VinnyVideo wrote: I'd be ashamed for calling this Hello Engine 4 - it's barely Hello Engine 3.1. There are no major changes in coding - only a few incremental additions. Lastly, it's still not user-friendly. Adding new features (other than enemies) or even changing the sprites is going to take a lot of work - quite possibly more work it would be than to make an original engine yourself, which would also likely lead to a better game.

Post subject:	Re: Hello Engine 5
It's glitchy 5/10 One pixel off the ground when I get off the slopes. Going through the ceiling in water levels. Mario's slippery and floaty Bad pipe warp coding. Mario's x and y position shouldn't change. No comments on the code Bad variable name suck as "kk" and "heehee" Using numbers instead of variables makes it harder to change stuff such as acceleration and friction I could heavily modify it, but it still has other glitches. MKF and SMFR modified it but it still felt like Hello Engine. I'm not using this.

Less slippery? Mario still moved ahead like 20px after releasing left/right

If you've got to ship a game in x months you can't spend your days describing the code in great detail, it just needs to work But good IDEs have a feature to automatically indent code... though it should be second nature anyway.

Quote: Indentation: Every line of code is properly indented. Is Hello Engine 7 finally going to have commented code and better variable names?

Author:	Kritter [ Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:00 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: Hello Engine 5
Commenting would allow people to make modifications easier and understand the code better to make their games original, that's not what Hello Engine is known for.
