I haven't released Elf World because every single engine I made for it sucks.

I've gone through five engines, all of which had some sort of problem.

I hate resorting to this...but would someone be willing to create an engine for Elf World? The character is 28x30 pixels (I can send you the character to work with).

Please, this is a last resort. I reaaaalllly need help with it. If I don't finish Elf World, I will die, so sayeth the prophesy of Molgloar.

Well...it appears as if Phizzy is dead/banned.

Would anyone like to help me with the CPM?

The main character is 20 x 30. I can send you the character if you'd like.

Thanks, and helps.

I'll help you outs duder.

What do you want?

Basic jump and bump? what special abilities do you want in the engine? Double jump for example.

Yeah, basic platform stuff; run, jump, stomp, bounce, swim. If you want to see what my old engine was like, look at my game list and see the Elf World Engine Test...

Urg. It was bad. Thanks!

Well, I can code the platforming and give an explaination in the code, but I've never coded swimming; so I'll leave that part to you. Give me about a week tops and you'll have an engine.

For basic swimming (mario swimming) just do:

Character is in water - exectute double jump move

If you want more direction style swimming, just use a flag to tell the game hes in water, have two groups:
-Platform
-Swimming (up down left right)
Each with their own movement, when the flags off, activate platform, when its on, activate swimming.

They're the two main ways i can think of doing it.

It's not that, I'm sure I could code it no problem, but I've gone through 6 generations of platform engines; so any swimming engine I could do for him wouldn't have that same level. I might try to work it out.
