Progress...

Last year I started a game design project and found extreme difficulty sorting the clipping information (making it so the player and enemies etc don't just fall forever).
I still need to work on a way to sort this efficiently, I worked on an algorithm to reduce the time each check of the map would take by compounding rectangles of similar sizes together into slightly larger rectangles. That was quite entertaining.

Here's this snippet: code

"rectangles" are the array of rectangles which are in a set position and are of a set size, they get drawn elsewhere in the code. Changes a map of around 850 odd rectangles to around 20-30.

Found some of my old tools I had been using, a map editor; incredibly buggy and it doesn't load and save exactly how i would like it to, and a tile sheet clipping editor; this saves and loads the clipping information from/to my tile set info files.

So this is what I will be working from to create my game, re-writing the game code itself though.

I will release some of the software if people would like a play etc.

See you soon :)
