Jump doesn't need to be exactly tile based, just something reasonably
close.

Speaking about input, it would be nice to have a bit more configurable
joystick support as well, ie. switching the joystick axis/buttons in
use at runtime, configure the keys freely, etc. I kind of really like
the way zsnes allow to configure keys, since it does exactly what one
needs and is very easy and more quickly to use.

Yep, I second that, texture is a bit confusing name.

I don't consider it much important, it would be nice to have, but
nobody will miss it if it isn't there. I can't even name much
commercial games that support on the fly switching of graphic drivers.


My personal wishlist:

- a more flexible gameloop() that gives better results and feedback on
  how the level ended, ie. how many coins got collected, what time was
  needed, what extras did tux have when finishing the level, what
  bonus blocks got triggered, etc. Main reason for this would be to
  allow the worldmap to present some percentage value on how much the
  level is completed, which in turn with secrets would give much
  greater replay values to the levels. This would also need a
  different way to handle savegames

- worldmap integration into the game, ie. replacing the current
  sequencial levels

- seperate main menu item to select level subsets, browse them by
  name, etc.

- bonus-rooms/sublevels

- more levels

- more testing, given the new enemies and the new levels the game
  could need a good amount of testing, there is still a lot of stuff
  thats buggy or unbalanced

- jump on an enemy while holding the jump button should result in a
  higher jump (mario-like)

- new tux sprite, missing images for dead enemies (ok, thats something
  I have to do ;)
