NightLight Experiment

Yea, so my goal for finishing Triisu didn't work out too well. Being a home schooler, I went AWOL from school for a month during December and had to pay back last month. Hence, no computer time and lots of cramming for summer break. So I am learning blend effects for Triisu in order to make it look okay, even if the gameplay itself isn't great.

Also, I've created a little platform demo that may or may not be created into a full game. I might make a giant level and thats it. Tell me what you think.

It's funny how I've never seen some of the simpler functions in GM before.

Example:

//l=lenth

//a=angle

x=l*cos(a)

y=l*sin(-a)

But I only just now found:

lenthdir_x(l,a)

lenthdir_y(l,a)

I really need to use those basic codes more often.

Ya, I like the grid effect that was shopped into the image

drawing looks like it's drawn on grid paper, not shopped…

Quote:

L*cos(degtorad(dir))

L*cos(dir*pi/180)

lengthdir_x(L,dir)

^^are all the same

Also, lengthdir_y is -sin

Lol, I think I'll stick with my simple Algebra 2 version.
