Soooo... Yeah... This competition was uh... every interesting... I though I'd give it a try so uh... Read til the end before you see inside... trust me... Oh yeah... I don't count as a competitor btw... I wish though... My Stats: Lines of Code: 18 Bugs: 0 Missing Elements:1- I just couldn't figure out that lava:( Variables: 1 - The Level Variable That's a total score of 20! In usual platform physics... normally, the player can go through the slimmest things just because it falls or moves very fast... however... instead of changing it's y position by a high y velocity, I step through every frame of the velocity so I can sense the platform for every pixel it goes down... that may be a little complicated, I know, but just know that that bug is impossible to get! Here's a project that better explains it: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23602667/ If you see inside to look at the code... I promise you will be shocked... There is so much recursion happening and it get's very complicated... I still have trouble trying to read my code again... but uh... here's a really nice explanation: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/Mv9NEXX1VHc/ Above, I wrote that I only create one variable... 'Level'... You must be wondering then how I implemented the x and y velocity... Well, scratch was very kind to already have 3 locally created variables witch are: direction pitch - found in the Music Extension volume Now of course there are many more, like size and x position... but we can't use any variables that effect the placement and size of the player... Anyway, I though it would be easy to use all 3 I stated above instead of my created variables, but there were a few limitations... Here they are: direction- only go from -180 to 180 (which is fine) pitch- only go from 20 to 500 (so no negative numbers) volume- only go from 0 - 100 (so no negative numbers) With volume there was another limitation... if ran without screen refresh in recursion, it will slow down everything sadly... So I was left with just direction and pitch... Direction I used as the y velocity witch is why, on the screen, the color of the variable is blue... However, since pitch was limited to no negative numbers, I needed to find a way to make it possible... So, I kinda, used some operator blocks and shifted a pitch of 200 to be moved to 0... you will see if you show the variable... And that's kinda how I did it... I'll give credit to for some ideas on how I shrunk my platforming script as much as I could... I'll also give credit to for showing many styles of platforiming scripts... That's pretty much it... this section is more like a documentation... If you have any questions, ask me, but whatever you do, do NOT ask me how everything works... Thanks - (lol, shared at 1:50 A.M.... Yawn, I'm tired... I've spent a month on this... Good night... Results will be shared soon!) (Why do I always use '...' a lot... Eh... I'll never know) (If you have read this far, great job... it is now 1:53... Why am I still typing lol... Why are you still reading? lol... ok... see you in the morning...)
