Metroid co-op online

19.09.09 Been sick.

Hey hello,
Sorry about the leck of updates i've been really sick the past few days!
but now im back in action!
AlexR donated me a MUCH better movement/graphic engine for this game (thanks AlexR)
and he will be helping me when needed!

Today ill be making enemies + Sprites for them!
They will be extra strong since 2 players are going to shoot on them!

Ill be finishing 1player mode first and then ill redo the Co-op part!
I hope i can keep you guys more up te date from now! - MKG

ps. if you want to leave me a message, put it on the forum (or PM) and ill read it!

08.09.09 More work to be done :o.

Woah, there is so much work to be done.. i don't know where to start! :P
Today i worked on a new feature for the icebeam.
it can actually freeze a enemy for a few seconds (no bosses!)
Im tweaking up the hanging and climbing of the ceiling and ledges, it allmost works perfect!
I'm finishing off the sprites for it, and added AlexR's hanging edits :D! (thanks)

If i make more progress today ill post it.. else, untill tomorrow!

UPDATE: I just finished hanging and climbing.. they work very nice!
BUG: I got a bug when shooting right while pressing the runright button.
i've looked trough the whole player code but didn't find it.. had this one since the start..
ill find that basterd! :P( it's so weird because when i shoot left and run it works... )

07.09.09 Not much yet

Hey, ill be updating this post today.. so keep an eye on the site
there is allot to be done.. bit of animating, some of the coding..
i gotto say, the game is getting playable in singleplayer mode!
If that works i can focus on the co-op part again (it worked before but i updated P1 so much
that P2 is outdated xD!! so P1 will have more abilities if you play it now!

so keep an eye on the site, ill be posting more updates later!

05.09.09 Hang, climb n swing!!

Well today I started on the hanging code, it was pretty easy to make (the basic)
but then there was a problem. whatever i tried my animations won't show up.
so, the code works.. it works ingame.. but the animations are missing for now.
the only animation that works is the one on the ceiling.

Other ToDo:
I = item sprite needed
W = weapon sprite needed
C = code work has to be (re)done
FX = there needs to be fx om that item.

Weapons in verion 1.0 (for now):
Power beam - W
Charge beam - I W
Rocket - I W
Super rocket - I
Turretrocket - I
Clusterrocket - I

Hijump - I
Spacejump - I

Morphingball - [done]
Bombs - I
Powerbomb - I (maybe this one is added in version 2)
Spiderball - I
Jumpball - I (this one is optional.. i think ill make it standard to jump with MB.. right?)

Varia suit - I FX
Gravity suit - I FX

Hanging on the ceiling
Walljump

You may help by submitting sprites on the forum, there is a chance I use them in the actual game! :D
