[Super-tux-devel] Level editor ready for production :)

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

Hey,
 Just to inform you guys about the improvements that Tobias made in the 
built-in level editor. Now, you have no excuse for not starting creating 
levels ;) Just grab the last cvs.

 A few enemies might be introduced for the Milestone1, so you can start 
designing the levels, based on the levels at the Millestone1->enemies section 
of the webpage.
 I think it was decided that there will be a dark ice theme for caves. So, a 
few cave levels are appreciated. :)

Yeah, yeah... so I'm a lazy bum.  What's it to you?
Oh.  Right.
Anyway, I got the whole second frame of wing animation thing done... I
uploaded it to http://lingocomic.com/gfx/goodies/supertux/
You can either view it by looking at wingling_color2.png (or whatever I
called it) or by picking up the new, shiny XCF file... for all of you
out there who have the GIMP, which SHOULD be all of you.  If you don't
have the GIMP I don't even want to talk to your pathetic self.
Should you be viewing the XCF, note that I've separated out the wing
outline and color from the rest of the body now... for both frames of
the flying animation.  Both of them are in the XCF, it's just that the
first frame-ish-thing's visibility is turned off.
I'm thinking of a third frame of animation before I shrink this down to
sprite-friendly size.
Tell me what you think.  Or don't tell me and be a big jerk about it.

The animation definitivly needs more frames, currently it lacks real
motion and only more or less flips between two states. I think four
frames would be good, ie:

1. wings up
2. wings moving down
3. wings down
4. wings moving up

In addition to the wings having the tail a bit animated (ie having it
swinging sinus-curve like or so) should give this thing more motion.
Having the feet 'flapping/wipping' together with the wings rythm might
also look good (or not, can't really know until you tried).

 When I read your mail, at first I thought you were referring 'You' to me,=
=20
since you are replaying to my mail. Hope, it's not the case :)

 Anyway, I think your drawings have a wax pencil look that does not fit, IM=
O,=20
with Ingo's style of graphics.
 I am no artist, but what if you use gradients for colors to smooth them an=
d=20
use more defined out lines...

Good work though,
 Ricardo Cruz
