I’ve actually gotten somewhere with my game. Which amazes me.<\/p>\n

Currently, the player can walk around on the screen, and faces the mouse pointer. Also, the player’s feet are animated, so they take actual foot steps when they walk. Mind you, the feet “step” forward no matter which way you are going, but that player sprite is about 20×20 pixels (1x zoom, as well), so the sprite it pretty tiny regardless.<\/p>\n

I’ve also got five different images for different parts of the player. That is, 5 pairs of feet, 5 pairs of arms, 5 heads for each gender and 5 torsos for each gender. The actor factory accepts the player’s gender and part variants, and builds a skeleton based on them.<\/p>\n

Very happy with how this is going. I’ve already gotten some base code down, and hopefully the rest will go at least as smoothly.<\/p>\n

Peace<\/p>\n
