Working on adding Ladders/Jumping:

Also, if you try to run it with 64k memory you get this nice screen:

Because I wanted a Mode 2 screen in there for fits and giggles.

Honestly the easiest and fastest way is to store a second set of sprites that are shifted one pixel over, and use the lowest bit to decide which set of sprites to draw.

With the ladders etc. it’s starting to look a bit like Bitmap Bros’ Gods.

Bit of a mare trying to get everything flicker-free, so I ditched the SMB acceleration/inertia attempt. Ladders are now in too.

is that where it came from? As I recall, I got it from somewhere else on a CC image search. I really need to check if its usable in a GPL project. Most CC stuff is?

edit: argh, will have to remove it and use something else as although a page on that site says its free for personal use, at the bottom there’s a thing about not using it in games. Arse:

To say something nice and not just nag, the graphics look really great! Especially that bg sunset-like gradient adds some atmosphere rarely seen in a CPC game. Keep us posted.
