I've begun the implementation of collision detection against the player. Those pesky eyes really does some damage.

Ok, så since the last time, I've implemented these items from my list:

• Add coins to pick up
• Add the tool selector (select between torches, stones, energy drinks and rope)
• Implement collisions for player against all enemies
• Add loot to chests - On it, not nearly done yet

And I've implemented a lot of small gimmicks:

• The HUD. Shows coins collected and current energy status (+the tool selector)
• Loose energy when under water for too long
• Fixed all collisions
• Added sorting to objects (draw order)
• Added energy bottle pickup
• Added thought bubble
• Added tool tips
• Water splash when entering water (all objects)
• Show visually how much energy is lost when colliding with enemy
• Visual jumping path - See where the player jumps

I have been thinking about how to present the player to the story - Maybe as a short movie of some kind.

Other ideas:

• Add parallax scrolling to the background. Not sure how this will work out - Will it add depth or add confusion?
• Add bombs
• Add loot crates to break (which also can hold enemies)

That is all for this update. See ya'.

My current to-do list

Right now one big list of all the things, I dont want to forget:

• Add coins to pick up
• Add secrets to dig out
• Add map of the current cave (gained from a chest)
• Add the tool selector (select between torches, stones, energy drinks and rope)
• Add 2 more tile sets (the crystal caves and the bottom lava caves)
• Finish tile set 2 (the stone caves)
• Implement collisions for player against all enemies
• Add save point at each chest (return to last chest or start when dead)
• Create graphics for bosses and minibosses (how many?)
• Add loot to chests - Torches, gold, energy drinks, map (what else?)
• Finish tile collisions (when on stairs)
• Add more tile items (decorations)
• Add death animation

The bigger picture

• Add start menu
• Add exit-level animations
• Find and add music
• Find and/or create sound effects
