Hey Marek, I liked your music, but I think it's too short... Besides that it's very good. (For those that don't want to install speedtracker just to listen it, get this: http://rpmcruz.planetaclix.pt/trash/splayer.tgz - a very simple (20 lines) command-line sound player that uses sdl_mixer) Ricardo Cruz Em Quarta, 21 de Abril de 2004 15:57, o Marek escreveu: > Hi guys! > I made a theme music for super tux to use in the main menu. > > I tried to compose the song with Tux' characteristics in mind: > -In our game, he's a superhero (thus the opening trumpets) > -Something geekish (Listen very carefully to the baseline (track 3 of > the mod file)... does it sound familiar? ;-) ) > -And, for the main melody, a very content penguin that just ate a bucket > full of herring :-) > Hope you like it. > > You can download it at http://www.wansti.de/files/tux-theme.mod > I sent a cvs-ready version (i.e. with -fast version) to Ricardo in case > you want to use it. > > Marek -- If a thing's worth doing, it is worth doing badly. -- G.K.

Hi guys! I made a theme music for super tux to use in the main menu. I tried to compose the song with Tux' characteristics in mind: -In our game, he's a superhero (thus the opening trumpets) -Something geekish (Listen very carefully to the baseline (track 3 of the mod file)... does it sound familiar? ;-) ) -And, for the main melody, a very content penguin that just ate a bucket full of herring :-) Hope you like it. You can download it at http://www.wansti.de/files/tux-theme.mod I sent a cvs-ready version (i.e. with -fast version) to Ricardo in case you want to use it.

Your work is good, but just look at it and tell me in the eyes if that looks like a penguin ;) Anyway, there's other work that you could give a hand, like doing a flat mr.iceblock and a Tux kicking (to be used when kicking an ice block, I would implement the code).

I personally think the improved Tux looks really good.
Btw, I noticed the up-to-date level files are on the cvs now. Happy
testing! :-)

Just downloaded the latest CVS version of Supertux and ... wow!!! Last time I had a look at the game was somewhat before 0.0.6 -- All you level designers, GFX & SFX artists and of course the programmers did a really nice job! What i still don't like is the Tux charakter itself -- personally I think it isn't cute enough! (I tried to do one myself once but it never looked like it could belong into a Jump and Run Game actually) I 'gimped' for a few minutes and this time modified the existing (small) Supertux charakter from CVS and gave it bigger eyes. I've created two little animations to show the difference. They're at: http://www.phreakzone.com/tmp/index.html I don't have CVS access -- if you are also of the opinion that Tux should have bigger eyes I've prepared a tar.gz file containing all of the graphics for the small Tux also located on the page mentioned above.......

For the main menu, it'd be great to have something like a Tux Theme
song. Is there anything like that, i.e. a melody related to the Linux
penguin that we could use and remix? If not, I could try to make one
up... but that one would have to be really good. I'll think about it.

In Super Mario Bros (original), there were two kinds of turtles.
Green ones (fell) and red ones (turned around).
There were also winged turtles. When you stomped them, they lost their
wings, and would walk around. Similarly, there were green verisons
and red versions. They simply changed from winged green or red, to
normal green or red, and would walk/fall as expected...
I like that we can flag the enemy to do such a thing, but it'd be nice to
make them LOOK slightly different, to give a hint to the player.
("Okay, he's gonna fall in a sec.!") If they look the same,
the player will be confused. ("HEY! Why didn't he FALL!? It's a bug!")
;^)
-bill!

Some news in the level format: - it now features reset points, I suggest having one reset point every 128 tiles (ie. 4 screens), thus leading to four reset points per level. With the current difficulty I think such a high number of reset points is a must have, if we can reduce the difficulty otherwise the resetpoint number might be lower - enemies can have a stay-on-platform flag, so they can be locked to there current platform, no more need to hold them there with blocks or other ugly things that don't belong there -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ JabberID: gr...@ja...

Hi guys!
I finally polished all 24 levels and sent them to Ricardo to commit. I
believe they'll be in the CVS very soon. After we agreed on IRC that the
game is too hard in general, I made most of the levels a little easier.
Please look through the levels and tell me if you find anything that
needs to be fixed, such as:
-Difficulty (are there really unfair spots that are near unbeatable?)
-Graphic glitches (wrong or missing tiles)
-Item placement (are there enough or too many items somewhere?)
-Secrets (are they too hard or too easy to find?)
(Hint: The engine in its current state only allows for two kinds of
secrets: Invisible
blocks/floors and fake walls. Also, keep in mind that you can walk
across the
ceiling of, for example, a cave level, if you can find a way to jump up
there.)
-Anything else that appears not right to you
Also, I don't really like the naming of the levels; some levels have
real titles while others are just numerated (Antartica 1-10, The Cave
1-6). If anyone can come up with good names for those levels, please
send them to me as well.
Have fun!
Marek

Well, I liked the idea of having a fly vehicle, boomerang weapon and stuff. But there is work that needs to be done before that. Besides, I think sliding is much more priority than those, since it could take SuperTux to another level of gameplaying.

Hi everyone! I created another music today, you can listen to it if you like. Download at http://www.wansti.de/files/tux.mod It doesn't have a title yet because I'm not sure what it can be used for. I think it has some kind of Megaman atmosphere to it, so maybe it would fit into a robot or factory themed tileset. I'll keep it ready for milestone 2. :-) Suggestions, constructive criticism, flaming, as well as any other type of feedback welcome! :-) Marek -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS dpu@ s:+ a-- C++(++++)$ UL++>++++ P+ L+++>+++++ E- W++ N o?

I don't want to get rid of scores, just of the highscore screen, since it really serves zero purpose, the scores itself are already saved in the save game files, so the highscore stuff really does nothing usefull. If one wants to introduce highscores in later releases it would most likly be only for different game modes (ie speed-runs, boss-fight times, etc), not for the normal worldmap. > I mean file merging only...

I consider merging of two files that don't even do something related a very bad thing, it just forces you to walk through tons of code that you are not interested in.
