My server is a complete mess, owing largely to the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing — when I tested the download in Firefox on XP, it came out with a weird name, but everything seemed to be working properly when I renamed/unzipped it.
Still have a couple hours to go, but I’m burnt out. Time to play something :P.
It’ll be done in less than 2 hours. Unfortunately I have to go eat , so congratulations to everyone in advance. The third level was updated earlier today.
It’s done! It took longer than the alloted time by quite a bit, not to mention I massively cheated (about half the final code is from existing work, not new). But it’s fun, in a weird and weird, weird way. It’s a goofy game. But it’s got skills and leveling up, so that makes it good. it’s also very hard with most of the maps I found, but they all seem winnable if you got ninja skillz.
Enjoy Ninja Kitty’s neverending battle against the horrid Nukebots.
Download: Windows EXE (660kb)
It’s not completely finished, but PaintWorld is as finished as it’s going to be within the deadline, which will happen in about 30 seconds.

Warning: the files are directly in this zip and not in a subfolder. If you want them in a subfolder, like Bleck does (stares at Bleck), the new zip is at http://files.chocoboheaven.com/uploads/Guests/files/87528_PaintWorld.zip
Go on, play it! I want to make the deadline, and so will edit in explanations. If anything doesn’t work, please tell me. I will begin working on the postcompo version now.
Well, there’s level selection/preview, view moving, a functional world, a you win screen, a you lose screen even though you can’t lose just yet, and that kind of stuff. Arrow keys to move, escape to exit.

I need help with collision code. I want to keep the player from falling through floors, pretty much. Help?
EDIT: Okay, I’ve got some good collision detection, but there’s something wrong with my moving code.
bool checkCollision(SDL_Rect &movable, double &vx, double &vy, SDL_Rect solid, bool move) {
int moveLeft = movable.x;
int moveTop = movable.y;
int moveRight = moveLeft + movable.w;
int moveBottom = moveTop + movable.h;int solidLeft = solid.x;
int solidTop = solid.y;
int solidRight = solidLeft + solid.w;
int solidBottom = solidTop + solid.h;int clipLeft = max(moveLeft, solidLeft);
int clipTop = max(moveTop, solidTop);
int clipRight = min(moveRight, solidRight);
int clipBottom = min(moveBottom, solidBottom);if(clipLeft == clipRight || clipTop == clipBottom)
return false;if(!move)
return true;int clipWidth = clipRight – clipLeft;
int clipHeight = clipBottom – clipTop;if(clipWidth solidX) {
// moving to right
movable.x += solidRight – moveLeft;
} else {
// moving to left
movable.x -= moveRight – solidLeft;
}
} else {
// moving along y axis
vy = 0;
int moveY = moveTop + movable.h / 2;
int solidY = solidLeft + solid.h / 2;
if(moveY > solidY) {
// moving to bottom
movable.y += solidBottom – moveTop;
} else {
// moving to top
movable.y -= moveBottom – solidTop;
}
}return true;
}
Please help! If you’re interested in seeing what’s happening, here’s the program: http://files.chocoboheaven.com/uploads/Guests/files/85267_PaintWorld.zip

What would be a good interval to take timelapse shots during a Ludum Dare compo?

Before we make the decision of weekend, I figure I’d throw the question out to the community to get some feedback. Post a comment with your thoughts.
Pick a weekend for Ludum Dare 13.
However, the last 2 weekends might be out, so we don’t steamroller over January’s Mini LD.
So, let us know your preference. Potential conflicts, game industry, school related (exams), or whatever. We’ll come to a final date decision soon.
Thanks,
- Mike Kasprzak (PoV)

Some thing that auto-generates word bubbles!
Hello, Hamumu here! A sentence with all H-words. Mini-LD #5 will commence on Friday, November 7th, hosted by yours truly. Don’t make me get all up in your timezones, but basically it’s at what we’ll call 3:00PM PST (or PDT, I don’t know! Why are you making me get all up in your timezones?!). About 3 or 4 hours earlier than usual, because I said so.
The theme is <INSERT GREAT THEME YOU WILL LOVE>, but I can’t expound on that further at the moment. I’ll let you know more details on Friday, November 7th at 3pm my time! Okay, I’ll expound a bit anyway to get you hooked: it has no technical limitations, can be done in any language and on any platform, and you will have a very wide element of freedom in what you do and how you do it. Part of the theme is that you are going to be bringing your own true inimitable style to what you create, so sharpen your you skills and get ready to rumble! But ah, what will you be creating? An intriguing question. For Friday, November 7th at 3pm!
Rules are 100% normal LD rules in every way. From scratch, 48 hours, and all that.
See you November 7th!
