EDIT-Ah, figured that first part out. Unfortunately it seems to cause a great deal of lag so I may have to rethink the idea. |

Hm, simply moving a platform backwards shouldn't cause any lag at all... All you need to do is give it a negative speed. |

I think I found something interesting...  I honestly have no idea whats going on. The floor is pushing my into the wall but I'm not taking any damage at all (the two hits I took were from some snifits off screen). EDIT- On a side note, I've added a 2 new rooms to the castle level. The 3rd one is too difficult imo so I'm either going to nerf it, or move it to a later world. |

Hey Guinea, if I could make a suggestion about Burly Guy, well, more so to the barrel, could you make it so it can be jumped on, it can kill enemies, if it hits a brick block, it will destroy it and itself (it will also destroy itself on contact with another barrel). I'd like to have the player be able to jump on it because it is going to be used in areas where you may not have a lot of room so allowing you a bit of freedom by jumping on it seems fair. I feel like it should be able to kill enemies, although probably because it moves like a shell. I'd mainly like it to break brick blocks so we could use it in puzzles or something. The thing about barrels destroying each other is to avoid situations where we'd have a million barrels stuck in a small gap. |

Hey Guinea, if you have time, can you make it so the camera doesn't try to follow the snowball? The room I'm designing for it is a bit less... tame than the one in the original demo, and it's causing the camera to go nuts at times. |

Well this is rather odd. It seems something happened to the rocket barrel. It now goes faster than the screen itself. |

^Ohh.. I need to adjust this. Must have happened after I tinkered with the camera system to have smoother transitions between targets. |

Hey Guinea, two things, neither of which is needed any time soon, just wanted to make a note of it. First being that I've made a new Lakitu, but don't worry, I tried to keep it simple. Basically it's a stationary Dangerous Duck. It just sits in it's cloud and tosses a boomerang from time to time. Heck, it doesn't even leave a cloud when defeated (this is for Lakipunk levels). The other thing is that Lakitus seem a bit... buggy as of right now. A few things I've noticed: 1. They don't always spawn. 2. When you have multiple in one room, later ones don't always spawn. 3. They sometimes won't throw their items. 4. Glam Lakitu's cloud won't stop flashing. Btw, if you are wondering why I'm messing with Lakitus so much, it's because I've started on the level "Lakitu's Lagoon", so I'll more or less be using them in a lot of ways (if you take a look at the first room, you'll see what I mean). EDIT- More of a personal request on this one, but is it possible to make add a variable to Lakitu that allows him to change his vertical height in response to the player? Just wondering as I feel it would avoid situations I've been running into where the player has to avoid Lakitu himself, more than the things he throws. When I say variable, I mean so we can turn it on or off in ogmo, based on which level he's in. Also, if we do add this, I'd make his vert movement a bit slow to avoid any awkward jumping around. |

^Noted. And yes, Lakitu really is very buggy. Didn't test him so much yet. The new Lakitu should work too, and the Lakitu height switch shouldn't be a problem either. |

Awesome. I'm actually finding that theres a lot of neat things that can be done with him (like having him throw jumping cheeps in a land based level with water near the bottom). Lots of fun things he can do. |

Once Midas Machine is finished, is the engine going to become public domain? |

Most people don't like to give up their programmed sources, plus that's indirectly asking for it you know. 2) It'd be way to complicated more than 90% of people to use if it was released. Plus if it were released people would end up making "midas clones" and that'd be bad.) So you probably shouldn't ask, this isn't yoyogames where people ask for other peoples sources just cause the game is good. So that's pretty much common sense, not to ask for someone elses work they've been workign on for more than 3 years.(or any time frame, it's unethical to ask for a source unless it specifically says that it's open source. Which then there'd most likely be a link) |

TiKi wrote: Once Midas Machine is finished, is the engine going to become public domain? Pretty much what Shadow Kami said. Seriously, stop relying on engines and try to come up with something yourself. Only that way you can improve. If you need some starting help, go look into tutorials, but I can pretty much guarantee you won't get to see Midas Machine's source code. |

Midas Machine's source code is kind of written in a way that only Guinea understands unless something has changed since the last time I looked at it (which was probably at least two years ago). |

^Yeah, even though I designed it in a way to be understandable by a decent programmer and commented pretty much everything, but then when nobody really wanted to work with it anyway, I started hacking and now it's kinda undocumented, especially so with the parts I added later. Another reason why it's so complex is because I started it before I really learned "programming" at university, and in these years my coding style grew and changed, so there are a lot of inconsistencies in the code. I think if someone else worked with it though, and I was there to give advice whenever someone asked, I guess it can be used by other people, or if someone is a genius... Still, this engine isn't very expandable anymore, so the only games that could come from it would be Midas Machine clones, so no, it will never go open source. |

Hey Guinea, sorry to bug you with this (again), but I made one last update to the jungle tiles. This should be the final one from what I can tell. |

I don't think guinea has the time to pick through the engine and extract parts of his complicated engine. Plus even if he would do that, I highly doubt even that would be readable to most people. Plus he said it's not going to be released so let it be. |

My gosh, people, stop asking Guinea to release his code. There's plenty of other engines around her and lots of basic platform examples exist too if you just want "moving and jumping". |
