[Magicor-devel] 1.1 RC 1 and bug fixes.

[Peter G. <pe...@us...>]

Hi all!

I've finally tagged the 1.1 RC 1 (tags/1.1-rc1).

Now, if there are some issues in the code base you may now change trunk as 
you wish for any potential 1.2 versions.
Bug-fixing should be done in tags/1.1-rc1 from now on, they will be merged 
into trunk (if still valid) later on.

I prefer to make very little changes to trunk while 1.1 is being tested and 
released.

The number one issue I would like to resolve with trunk is the movement of 
the penguin, it's a bit jerky and it's difficult to control exactly how many 
blocks to move. For instance, if you kick a block and try to move in under 
another falling block in the same move you fail sometimes.

Anyway, I think we should just make a fairly stable 1.1 and usable game.
As such I have only one request to all of you: please rename/remove levels 
so that they are ordered by theme and difficulty. Remove those that are 
buggy entirely.
These changes are made in tags/1.1-rc1!

Meanwhile, I will try to come up with music for the new themes. Any requests 
for mood/style?

By the way, some friends spent some hours playing the game yesterday, they 
LOVED IT! Especially one guy was -really- good (better than me anyway) and a 
huge Solomon's Key 2 fan.
I noticed two problems: controlling the penguin with a joystick is difficult 
and some of the music is anoying as hell. :)

I'll try to remedy the music problem, but I remember having problems making 
the controls smooth yet firm. Any ideas would be great. Try playing with a 
joypad and you'll know what I mean about being jerky and difficult to get 
exact control.
