When you get hit with one of the &quot;boulders&quot; (I guess you could call them that, but my horrible sprites disagree) it was supposed to be destroy it, therefore you would lose a little health, but the boss would be vulnerable to attack as well.

Windows accepts '\/' in most places (including in code), but Linux is less friendly with '\\'. That's really the only thing I had to change in your code to make it compile. You might also consider making it issue an error message when it fails to load resources.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, best practice is to have only class declarations in .h files and class\/function definitions in their own .cpp files. ie. You should have Timer.h which contains &quot;class Timer{\/*Stuff*\/};&quot; and Timer.cpp which contains Timer::Timer(){\/*Constructan!*\/} and Timer's other functions. It's not really critical for something like an LD, just wanted to make sure you knew. If you don't understand there's a crowd of people on IRC who would be more than willing to help you if you're interested. :D"},{"author_name":"snesgaard","author_uid":"2066","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1314142320,"text":"I see potential here, but I really gave up beating the bosses. The main problem being that I had no idead whether was doing the right thing or not. So some feedback, like the boss flashing red when you do damage would help. Also the ability to shoot multiple projectiles would be appreciated :)"},{"author_name":"matt9837","author_uid":"4220","time":"Aug 25, 2011 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1314282420,"text":"@Paul: Yeah, sorry about that, that was the main problem I knew some people would have.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Vede: Thanks for porting it!
