  birjo do not vectorise the blocks you dont need to!
it looks better and plays faster if you use the actual pics

  It's not like I'm going to make the actual game just yet. I'll have to implement the BL API, try a few things with Flash, and then I'll start on the actual game.

  Are you seriously trying to make a DETAILED background, DY? That's a new trick. :_

Yeh... I completely brain-farted on my BG... I'll have to think of something fast. xD

  Sorry i havent finished the bg yet... it takes a while since its so big, and ive had alot of school work.
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Yearh, I sure do xD Haven't made much use of it yet, beside of a small presentation which basically only is a bunch of event listeners and functions.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Well, hopefully you know slightly how to code now... :/
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Started messing with Flash, ActionScript and the BL API. Will probably take a few months till test phase.

Hexicube 14 years ago
  right, ill prepare it now...
[edit] it will be commented too so you know what to do :D
[re-edit] are you using user data where BL can carry over items on levels?
[re-re-edit] the simple and documented game template
JPs guide to BLAPI
I havent done the editor yet and you should actually work on it first as its easier
files that you need will be inside JPs guide somewhere

  Pixelized - Official Thread


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
