is this a no-custom-assets one?

there's also spikes in tiles3.png. but you don't have to do anything complicated, just blank them out and you're good to go.

there's fake spikes at the bottom of tiles.png to make it seem as if there is a background behind these spikes, but you can just replace them with the background instead.

unless the game has differences on the android version, im pretty sure that it's possible

how the flickering entity colors are calculated

so, here's the run-down:

terry posted the source code to a function called Graphics::setcol() a while ago, but it's a bit incomplete. for one, he uses these functions RGBf() and fRandom(), which both seem a bit mysterious, along with this help.glow stuff. also, when i checked with a decompiler, the red and blue of color 36 were swapped.

so after decompiling the game, it turns out RGBf() just adds 128 to the RGB of each color, and then divides the red, green, and blue by three. fRandom() is just a random float between 0 and 1.

now to explain help.glow: the game runs at 1000/34 fps, which is 29.4117647058823529...repeating frames a second. the help is just the game's instance of a UtilityClass. on every frame, the game calls help.updateglow() to update help.glow, and it looks like this:

Code (C++) Select Expand

void UtilityClass::updateglow() {
this.slowsine = this.slowsine + 1 < 64 ? nextsine : 0;

if (this.glowdir == 0) {
this.glow += 2;
if (this.glow > 61)
this.glowdir = 1;
} else {
this.glow -= 2;
if (this.glow < 2)
this.glowdir = 0;
}
}so basically, help.glow will go from 0 to 62 and back, and this causes a glow.

i've made an (incomplete) list of which entities use which color:

Things that DO NOT use the color function:
- Gravity lines that are not being touched right now
- Gravity lines that are being touched
- Roomtext
- Room names
- Coins
- Entity 6
- Entity 7
- The flash command (making the screen white)

now, Graphics::setcol() doesn't handle every color. most notably, roomtext, roomnames, and gravity lines do not use it.

for gravity lines, we need to talk about Graphics again. you see, the game's Graphics instance is named either one of two things: graphics or dwgfx, and the game can't make up its mind about what to call it. but they both point to the same thing. i'm just going to use the name graphics. now, the Graphics class has attributes linedelay and linestate. linestate goes from 0 to 9, and each number is just a unique color of the gravity line. linedelay is how many frames to wait before updating linestate, and linestate just goes from 0 to 1 to 2 to ... to 7 to 8 to 9 to 0 to 1 to 2 to ... to 7 to 8 to 9 to ..., every time it gets updated. whenever the game calls Graphics::drawentities() to draw every entity, graphics.linestate and graphics.linedelay both get updated at the start, like so:

Code (C++) Select Expand

if (this.linedelay < 1) {
this.linedelay = 2;

this.linestate = this.linestate < 9 ? this.linestate + 1 : 0;
} else {
this.linedelay--;
}whenever the game draws gravity lines, with the function Graphics::drawgravityline(), it draws it with a certain RGB depending on what graphics.linestate is, and whether or not you've hit it.
if graphics.linestate is 0, it's (180, 180, 180)
if it's 1, it's (215, 215, 195)
2: (195, 215, 215)
3: (180, 180, 154)
4: (176, 225, 204)
5: (176, 205, 185)
6: (154, 154, 154)
7: (185, 215, 195)
8: (195, 225, 185)
9: (215, 215, 215)
if the gravity line is hit, then it's (96, 96, 96)

as for roomnames and roomtext, they're based directly on help.glow. so their color is: (196, 196, 255 - help.glow).

just put 0-byte files with the names of the levels in your levels folder. this will "overwrite" the builtin levels and remove them from the list, without having to mess with data.zip.

(I know, terrible level design, forcing people to do something or else the level breaks.)

it's not terrible level design if youre running up against a game limitation. things like pressing r and invincibility can be worked around, but theres literally no way to despawn entity 0

vnone of these replies are good either

Still ain't allowing it on the official scoreboards...

why not? just put them in a separate category

theres tons of tases made for tons of games already go look them up

hello, i'm new, my computer not have zip, What can I do?

hijacking another thread is not the place to ask about this

and what computer do you have that doesnt come with a default zipping utility
