- The Milestone 2 branch has been created. This branch will be used to clean up features and badguys that have been committed to SVN but which are not part of the Milestone 2 Design Document.

Enough is enough. I added the following lines to /wiki/.htaccess
order allow,deny deny from 222.120.74.0/24 # Korea Telecom (Shadowkirby2007, Taxidriver666br, Nintendo, The Halford, Cotarelo, Elgazin, ... deny from 221.155.127.0/24 # Korea Telecom (Alphamariox, Old Square Wheels, JValtone, ... allow from all
- Mockup of things that should change in the level editor
- New configurable camera in svn. So far a Metroid Style Camera seems to work best.
- Added contrib/supertux-coop.diff, a somewhat hacky patch for two-player cooperative play
- Tux can climb ladders now.
- Snowman Variations for stay-on-platform or other uses
- Avalance - A possible replacement for classic auto-scrolling
- the Download/Installation page got split into stable/unstable pages to remove some confusion it has caused in the past
- SVN contains now a bunch of new images from Grumbel
- Console also autocompletes full common prefix on multiple matches.
- In Tux starts running automatically when he reached max walk speed. As before, if he is carrying something Tux can only walk. To reduce the speed to 'walk', hold the 'Action' key.
- Mission to Snowdriftland is a very SuperTux'ish Flash Jump'n Run used for advertisement by Nintendo, it features 24 levels and great level and secret area design, everybody should have a deep look at this game to get some inspiration for Milestone2
Some links to 2D physics stuff:
- Secret Area Proposal
- Working Trampolines have been added back in.
A bottom and top section was added to Grumbel's blue mountain background (snow background). The 23-Airborne level was extended to use this new background set.
- New collision detection code has been merged into trunk. Highlights:
- Handling of slopes and platforms should be more robust now
- You can break multiple ?-boxes with 1 jump again
- Code is simpler and faster
- You can realistically jump through 1 tile holes (the engine shifts you up to 5 pixels into the correct place where you can pass through the hole)
Mr.Bomb can now use multiple sprites for themed images.

New, more compact, format to define multiple tiles in one image is available. width/height are the size of the image in tile units, 'ids' are the ids you want to assign to each 32x32 region of the image (left to right, top to bottom), 'attributes' the attributes you want to assign (solid, lava, water) in integer format, image is the image you want to use. This syntax doesn't support animation or 'data', that however shouldn't be a problem for most multi-tile images.
(tiles (width 2) (height 2) (ids 137 138 139 140) (attributes 0 0 0 0) (image “`foo.png”))
