  from what ive gathered youre using flixel and idk if it uses fla files OR classes
for me to make a starting point it needs to use both so I cant make a starting point until I know it can use it
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Just to clarify things; Could you make that "starting point" or are you too busy?
Hexicube 14 years ago
  well it doesnt guarantee it will work...
Ahroo 14 years ago
  xD

Regardless, it IS in AS3, it's a game library with ready -made collisions and such so you can focus on making the unique things in your game, or so I've heard... :/
Hexicube 14 years ago
  it probably does then...maybe...hopefully...lol
Ahroo 14 years ago
  It uses AS3, though... :p
Hexicube 14 years ago
  would it kill someone to make a simple extractor that takes into account options? probably...
I dont know if flixel actually uses fla files, I really doubt it, or if it uses important stuff BL needs like importing classes
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Would it KILL you to use the tutorials?! ':_
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  My only problem was that it took a whole day to download XCode, and after that, I didn't even know what to do with the files.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Yeah, the same happened to me when I tried to install Flashpunk... I got everything done perfectly, and it wouldn't load. D:
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  After my utterly failed attempt at installing it, no, not at all.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  :D

anyways, have you looked into Flixel at all? :p
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Of course xD You'll be added in the credits too :D

But for now, I'm animating the player, and learning ActionScript.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Yeah... remember to add me as a tester along with DY and MARC. :p
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  You just had to ask, didn't you xD
Anyway, you won't hear much from me for a while, but when I make the player moveable, the background work and the levels actually playable I'll put it in the test phase. That should be in around 50 years xD
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Now what? :p
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Sounds great :D
Looking forward to see the result :D
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  yah, when the layers are combined the result will be 4000 by 1024 to allow upward scrolling. the cload layers will go on the top, and the hill layers will go on the bottem.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  I think you should call the game pixalz lol idk why
Ahroo 14 years ago
  yeah... it provides a cooler and more realistic BG experience. :p
Hexicube 14 years ago
  if that was the case all the layers should then present some form of scrollability...?
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Sounds awesome :D

One thing I don't get however, is why the third layer is 1024 high if you base it on a 512x512 screen.
Is it to allow upwards scrolling?
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  okay here is the list of layers im making:

1- Clouds 1- small and light purple shading (4000 by 512)
2- hills 1- DONE (4000 by 512)
3- Hills 2 + Clouds 2-Darker hills in more detail with big clouds above it (4000 by 1024)
4- Bushes 1- Bushy, lots of holes with berries. (4000 by 512)
5- playable lvl. (done, made by ahroo)

6- Example- combines all layers as an example of how the graphics will apear in game.

My graphics are based on a screen size of 512 by 512.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  well I hope not :D
good luck with learning AS, it'll probably take forever though XD
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Of course I will do the coding myself xD I don't want to be no pest for you.

And DY, sounds awesome :D
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Now that the contest is over, im going to work on the layers of bg for this.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  lol...you just have to remember to do ALL the mcoding and stuff :P
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  That could be awesome :D

*Falls asleep*
Hexicube 14 years ago

What is Pixelized?

Pixelized is a future game, currently being developed by birjolaxew. It's in the development state, and - due to different obstacles - it won't be released to the public before 2011. It will probably go into testing state early-middle 2011.

What's the gameplay?
In Pixelized, the current idea is that you - the player, will be a small pixelated man trapped in a block world. Carrying specific blocks with you (Each block acting it's own way) you'll have to build your way through puzzles. A great example of the whole block concept can be found in the 3D game "Minecraft". Notice, that details can change during the development.

What have you done by now?
As of 17/11/10, I'm fiddling with the BL API, Flash and the basic game. I'll upload a "game" soon, but it won't be actually playable, and therefore I wont add any testers.

What blocks will be included?
A list of the blocks currently planned:
Dirt (Affected by gravity)
Stone (Not affected by gravity)
Mud (Not affected by gravity - Created by dirt blocks, directly touching water)
Ice (Not affected by gravity - Slippery, only available in winter mode)
Snow (Affected by gravity)
Sand (Affected by gravity - Found near bigger areas of water)
Gravel (Affected by gravity - Created by stone blocks, directly touching water)
Undestroyable (Used to block of parts of the level - Can't be placed/mined)

Where will it be released?
Right here, on BonusLevel.

Screenshots
Ahroo made us some game graphic (Great work I must say). I've put them together, to make an example of how a regular map will look while zoomed in.
Example of a map
Any way to keep track of the project?
Most certainly. I've made a blog, located here
