[Super-tux-devel] Benjamin's buttons

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

Hey guys,

 Try the Benjamin's checkbox and back button and tell if they should replace 
the currents.

Benjamin, could you release the XCF files for those? If you have used Gimp, 
that is...

Done!

The XCF-file contains some more 16x16 icons I used to paint some time 
ago. Nothing we could actually use for SuperTux, I think .... but nice 
anyway.

[Super-tux-devel] My secret... my precious secret!

Hi there!
Grumbel, why did you remove the secret area in level 18? I mean the one 
where you could climb up inside the wall at the very beginning of the 
level, then run along the ceiling for some time to eventually find an 
extra life and a powerup. That one was my favourite!

As far as I remember it was unreachable due to forward-only-scrolling,
which turned it into just another 'hole' in the wall with no purpose.
Thats why I removed it, such areas just cause confusion.

As far as I remember, it worked pretty well. Just because you can't 
figure out a secret doesn't mean it's broken. (Sorry 'bout that) :-)
So no one objects when I re-implement it...? I'll give it a second 
thought to make it less confusing, then.

Ah, ok, now I see what you mean. Anyway, the biggest problems with
secrets at the moment is that lots of them are easy to detect from the
right, while hard to detect from the left, which leads to quite a few
'I can walk in the wall, but don't do anything' situations, looking
more like a bug then a secret. Metroid Fusion for example solves this
by flading away the foreground tiles that hide the secret, which looks
pretty nice, but which is something that is not really doable in
Milestone1.
