Milestone 2
Design Document

Obsolete things from other pages. Note however that obsolete doesn't mean its useless, sometimes things are already done while other times they just haven't been properly integrated into the Milestone 2 Design Document yet and got moved here as a result of cleanup.

Things unknown

  • Who is running backups of the Wiki and SVN repository?
  • Shall we switch to GPLv3? Not now, but maybe later

<math>Insert formula here</math>

Next Meeting Agenda (7. August 2008, 18:00 GMT)

  • supertux.info status? integrate in main page?
  • GP2x updates
  • music submission: BlastOffTek music pack for Supertux.rar
  • badguy name cleanup
  • GP2x status
  • large level, establishing milestone 2 'gold standard'
  • editor news
  • compiled data formats
  • editor gui restructure

older stuff

  • present newly build levels
  • what to do with Badguy::freeze()?
  • what to do with level flipping (suggestion: ignore it)
  • Wiki & SVN backup again

Meeting Notes

Code:
- engine problems blending
- monster activation should be dependent on tux position and
  not on screen position (like it is now) because it should
  be independent from aspect ratio
  (Note for level designers: Think that potentially the user
  can see the whole level in front of him)
- Code for butt jump

Objects:
- new object to place images into levels (to replace info boxes):

- Buttons in menus
- Add info box below menu (with explanations)

Profile system:

- delete profiles
- load default profile on startup

- Restart game on language change (do not put language change menu into
the
       Pause-Options menu)

Graphics:
- running animation
- butt jump animation
- improve egg graphics, so it does not seem like a "snowball"
- graphics for the stuff in "Creatures"

  Proposal: create supertux-user and supertux-team. make forward

World1:
- levels will be changed, and reworked to make use of the new features
