Sam - I've got some suggestions for what I think would be cute for the
Tux animation in the middle of the game screen.
* When the level starts, he'll be happily looking at the players for a
second. Then an alarm will sound (and perhaps a flashing light on
his console) and he'll look surprised and turn around (to face away
from you)
* Whenever you press a key, we can animate him shifting back and forth
and/or tapping on buttons on his console.
* If you shoot down a comet, he can do a little "woo-hoo!" stance.
(ie, arms up in the air in a "V" shape)
* If you loose a city, he can do something like cover his eyes.
If you'd like some cruddy mock-ups of what I mean, I can whip some up.
In the meantime, I'll try and add a 'laser' effect that explains why the
comets are exploding in the first place. ;)
Thanks!
-bill!

I think I know what you're talking about. (You are meaning as he is sitting in a control room in the foreground, right? ;-) I'll draw up something today (I ran out of time yesterday). The one problem I was facing was trying to make it clear he is in the foreground (instead of simply looking like this massive grotesque pengiun next to these tiny cities ;-) > In the meantime, I'll try and add a 'laser' effect that explains why the > comets are exploding in the first place. ;) Yeah, see that was something the old Atari BASICs (my favorite was SuperBasic ;-) could do easily.

Okay, I think I have made all the necessary Tux animation images. You can grab them here: http://www.geekcomix.com//dm/tuxmath/tuxanim.tar.gz Included is a fake screenshot, the images in png format, and a few animation tests (in Gimp's XCF format). If we use the console I made, we will probably want to merge it with the spire image to reduce blits. If I get some more time today, I may hack away at CVS to show you what I mean. -- Sam "Criswell" Hart <cri...@ge...> AIM, Yahoo!: <criswell4069> Homepage: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/ > PGP Info: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/contact/ > Tux4Kids: < http://www.geekcomix.com/tux4kids/ > |

Oh, and I guess I should mention I made a bunch of extra animations we may or may not want to use. -- Sam "Criswell" Hart <cri...@ge...> AIM, Yahoo!: <criswell4069> Homepage: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/ > PGP Info: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/contact/ > Tux4Kids: < http://www.geekcomix.com/tux4kids/ > |
