Ahm may i ask something sir? this question might have been ask by others on the comment but,

is there a way where the players jump height can be determine on how long the player presses the jump key?

i mean just like how super mario does but of course theres a limit to how high he jumps. i already got the idea but dont really know how to apply it, im thinking of a loop where it checks if the max height of a jump is reached.

Just found your blog through google, as I am interested in getting some actionscript experience and want to do so while making a side scrolling action adventure. So, there are two particular things that have been on my mind as a completely inexperienced programmer:

-How to implement doors? So that you can switch from the one levelsheet to the other? I have seen some tutorials with doors implemented, but the problem with those were that they relied on going to a different frame. What I am searching for is to replace the level while staying in the same frame; cleaning up one level and loading the other.

-How to implement a scrolling feature, where the player walks to the middle of the screen and as long as the level is long enough the level starts scrolling at that point?

Sorry for the questions already…

Excellent engine, definitely going to look into developing it further.

Also, optimisation? What is this ‘optimisation’ you speak of?

/Recently got shouted at for poor optimisation

Awesome stuff here Emanuele, I still check daily even if I don’t post a response. I’ve also got a good game idea that uses a tile engine I made before. It should be good, it also hlps that I love Pixel art too. I’d love to get as much money as Nitrome per game, they must get 5k per game atleast, they’re fantastic !
