One thing I wonder is how to do the fall speed increase like when you are falling? With my pmo object when my character falls, he does it in a quite slow speed that is stable no matter how far you fall.

You can increase the speed of the fall by every so many milliseconds add 1 to speed when character is facing down direction.
The more I look at this game the more I'm thinking this is layered scrolling??
I have tried to get to some end some times but if it exist I have not made it yet.. my record is 15656.70m
If he isn't using a tall frame with a quick backdrop, only thing I could think of is to use a shader possibly to adjust the color of a background layer. Or do something ridiculous like scroll a background active. I don't think the shader method would transition smoothly like that unless you had one designed specifically to do that. Just changing the additive color or what have you wouldn't really work that great or smooth.Originally Posted by OldLongDragon
Edit: Nevermind, it's a Flash game, can't be shaders. I'm convinced it's just a tall frame with a quick backdrop.
To me it doesn't seem like it's just changing the background color though. It looks more like a smooth gradient that scrolls up as you move higher. I wasn't knocking it for being a Flash game, just that you can't use hardware shaders in Flash so my shader example wouldn't work.
We are just brain storming here about the game. How it was done and so forth.Yes, this is why I think that MMFD2 is superior to Flashand a lot more sensible to operate, I find. In any event, somebody did suggest that there's more going on here. This is true, there is always more going on here which may not be apparent at first. Would we want somebody else to know all our secrets?
Outcast,..I'm working on this and when I get it done, I'll send you the open source. Sound good? Just give me a few days!!
Sounds awesome! Thanks!!
Did you guys ever find an elegant way of doing this?
