Platformer Game

If you just want to get the download, go to the bottom of this post.

What… Is… This…
This is a WIP platformer game. It is not near finished and there is quite a few annoying things about this version. there will also be many, many more things coming in the future.
Also, I'm coming up with a new name soon.

Why am I throwing this version out so early?
I want to see what people think of the overall concept.

As said above, this is still a VERY EARLY VERSION. This has very few features.

Known Problems/Reporting Problems

If you find a bug or have a suggestion, please post it down below!

Features Likely in the Next Version (1.0.02)
I mean, you have to have something to look forward to.
- Ladders (pushed to 1.0.02)

**WARNINGS** PLEASE READ!
This program prefers a CLEAN workspace. This means a completely new computer. It should be noted that if a startup file exists, it will be renamed and replaced!

This program also uses an api that I made. This keeps the game/editor/etc code cleaner. You should note that this runs on computer startup.

Snapshots
Note: Art is going to change. If it looks ugly now then forgive me, this is still a work in progress!

Spoiler

**all snapshots still from 1.0.00
Game Menu (Huge WIP)

(screenshot 1) Okay, simple enough.
(screenshot 2) Oh neat, I've been waiting for someone to do something like this!
(screenshot 3) Game Over, eh? I hope there will be some sort of live system.
(screenshot 4) AAHHHH, MY EYEEEES!!

Haha. As I have said numerous times, it is still very early in development. I will likely switch over the editing system into colors like the actual game is.

In CC 1.74 (the latest version), there are key_up events which call every time a key is released. They would really help your platformer know when to stop moving the guy left or right. Also, if the guy's jump arc was a parabola, and jumped, say, two or three things high…that would be nice…

Thank you for your suggestions! These will be implemented in the next update. :)/>

Known Bugs in 1.0.01:

- You can walk out of the map if there isn't a wall (fixed)
- Jumping and moving is still quite odd and involves timing.

Download is in original post.

Please post down below any bugs & comments for the new version!

Im just curious how to get the program to properly run. I am very interested in testing this out for myself and using it as a reference for my future code. someday I would like to develop something of this nature on my own.

I have succesfully downloaded the program from pastebin, and ran it to download the rest of the files. I assumed you ran the "game.lua" program, however it brings up this screen (welp, im too stupid to find the screenshot folder) Nonetheless it says this:

Name – File – Size
This PC – game.lua – 51x19
Sample1 – sample1.lvl – 51x19
Sample2 – sample2.lvl – 51x19

Am I perhaps entering the code incorrectly? Or do I need to set up 51x19 advanced monitors. If the monitors is the case, then I am confused even further. Because it would seem they wont connect after you make a 8x8.

Help would be lovely! <3

I just now realized that the part i have been getting to is just the game menu. But nevertheless im still stuck XD :(/>

I hate myself. I figured it out. Good work!

Inactivity Update:

I have been inactive due to some technical problems on my computer. Unfortunately I was forced to refresh my PC and am failing to gain access to some essential files to this game. A good example of some of my technical issues just happened a few seconds ago right here
