    Well, here is the latest screenshot - I am playing around with some graphics and precedurally created floating 'islands':


    There some graphical glitches (borders between some tiles not meant to be there), and the half-circle at the bottom is supposed to be a smaller full circle (the player avatar!) haha

    Rather primative ATM, but at least it is not just a blue box!!

    In the screenshot, the brown color tiles are 'earth' element, the red ones 'fire', and the blue ones are 'air'

    Perhaps you could do a kind of game like Dangerous Dave. It was a simple platformer and it had 10 levels (or more, I think there were bonus levels). They were unique (and challenging).

    Dangerous Dave...I don't think I have heard of that, I will look it up
    I am going to see if I can make procedurally generated levels so I don't have to make an editor...

    Well, procedurally would save you a lot of time, if you can get it right.

    Does it means they have different properties?
    No signature provided yet.

    Well, I guess their 'properties' are that each type of element block island will have it's own type of enemy - an air island might have a wind elemental or fan for example, fire might have a laser tower or lava pool.

    Just some ideas and thoughts so far...I haven't decided anything yet

    Very cool Paul! You were always pretty good with the vector style graphics.

    Well you could create "chunks" that could be automatically matched up and then randomly placed upon loading of the level as an idea. That would "split the middle" for keeping a procedurally based level generator. Never seen it done for a platformer though. Would be a neat idea if you could pull it off.
