Super Skull 2d Java Platform Game

A complete run of a platform game I worked on earlier this year. It is a remake of the game "Skull Adventures" I made when I was 15.

Have you used a game engine to do this game? ;)

[rugt0r]

@sh100vol Nah, it's an applet coded in Java.

[seokkyu7]

Do you have the source code for this?.. I would like to take a look :P

[rugt0r]

@seokkyu7 I might have it somewhere, but to be honest it's massively over-engineered. I put in loads of stuff like buffering for the parallax background, various types of collision detection, etc. that I ended up not using. It's also got a lot of bugs, and some parts (especially the maths & collision routines) are either incorrect or poorly written. I can still upload it if you like (if I can find it!) it just comes with that disclaimer ;o)

@rugt0r ok, cool. if you do find it, please do upload it... I would still like to take a look...

[rugt0r]

@seokkyu7 I can't seem to find it right now... sorry... probably the most interesting part was the collision detection code, which is based on an article at metanetsoftware's website, under "technique." It's called "separating axis theorem." Other than that, it was pretty ad-hoc. Is there anything you'd like to know in particular?
