Platform Game - UPDATED 2 [ C++ & Allegro ]

My platform game updated =)
New features:
-Better graphics, except the player
-Steady FPS (Use of timers)
-Map loader (Loads from text files)
-Boxes Collisions
-Enemies that makes you respawn
-Start and finish bitmaps (Not working yet)
-Player score
-Orbs (add 10 to your score)

Wizrai is a friend of mine, that works with photoshop, he made the bitmaps.
He's the artist I needed =D

The game looks a little choppy in the vid, but it runs really smooth.
It's because of HyperCam =)

Hope everyone likes it!
Enjoy!

how did you added gravity =( I am workin platformer too but have big problem with gravity,BTW nice game you should continue with work on it

[aldex123]

have the gravity affect the player all the times but without affecting him when he's on the floor...

For example

if(!onFloor) playerVelocity.y += 0.2;

or something like that

Nice game, imo you should countinue it ! :] I'm trying to do 2D platform game in Allegro too ^^

Why do you store the map in ASCII text if you just convert it to integers anyway?

Also instead of using a switch on the char, just do

if(foo >= '0' && foo <= '9')

bar = foo - '0';

@gamerboy2396 This is probably late, but installing Allegro with Dev-C++ is super easy- Open up Dev C++ and go to Tools>Check for Updates/Packages. Then in the dropdown menu, select devpacks (can't add the ending due to Youtube). Click check for updates at the bottom. You'll get a huge list. Scroll through, find Allegro there, tick it, install. Done!

Hello, I know how to make fairly simple text-based games with C++ and would maybe like to start with sprites, but I need help with installing Allegro :O

I know I sound like a noob but I downloaded Allegro and the folder brought up a bunch of crap such as a lot of folders, "M4" files etc. Maybe you could help me in a PM. By the way I use Dev-C++ and I am wondering where I put Allegro. Thank you :)

[123ponco]

did you used array to store tiles or did you defined one by one?

[123ponco]

thanks
