  1. Thanks
    geoff got a reaction from Sendy The Endless in [File] Jet Set Willy: Role Reversal   
    It's bright, colourful, and a lot of fun!
     
    As to the criticism sendy mentions, I'm sure you could contrive several equally fatuous criticisms of the original, where Willy betrays his working-class origins and joins the ruling class/the ide rich, or whatever.

    I'll also support this idea, with the caveat that time and other factors might prevent me from contributing much if at all, and the counterbalancing permission for anyone to hack the Pyramid and work the patch vectors out for themselves 😀 It would probably be mroe fun.

    That looks like a hyperbolic plane, which is very definitely non-Euclidean. The JSW equivalent would have, for example, room 2 to the right of room 1, room 3 below room 1, room 5 below room 2, and room 4 between rooms 3 and 4, so that the lower level is one room wider than the upper one. There's something like this in the original JSW.

    This might be an interesting challenge: make a viable JSW game in which the rooms form a rectangular grid which wraps around at the top and bottom, and at left and right, i.e. on the surface of a torus. It should be possible to move freely from any room to all of its neighbours.

    <deity>, that brings back memories. Transylvanian Tower: verily, a mantlepiece of computer gaming. Is a JSW crossover imminent?

    One of my games does this, courtesy of a joke at the expense of my brother's then seemingly limitless appetite and a misremembered sketch from "The Young Ones". It's only three rooms though.

    @spider: it's a bit mathematical. If you imagine a chessboard, then roll it up one way so that the opposite ends join up, then twist it around so that the circular ends join up, you'll get the idea. Alternatively, imagine a chessboard which wraps around at the edges, like in the original JSW you can get to The Hall by jumping up from Rescue Esmerelda. The result is that no two squares (i.e. rooms) are more than four squares apart diagonally, so you can get around very quickly.
     
    @danny: I have to admit to never being too fond of WtH, since I didn't spend as much time on it as I should have done, but if someone cares enough to fix it, I'm happy to endorse it 😀
