What´s needed to end the game?

[IRF]

Fun(?) fact: if you extend the Bathroom ramp all the way down to the floor, and put a hole in the upper platform directly above the toilet, then during the toilet run Willy will run up the ramp and drop through the hole... But will disappear halfway through the fall... then appear suddenly in the toilet. (ie Without visibly falling through half of the height of the room.)

This is because the code which tests for Willy's coordinates at the end of the toilet run doesn't check which vertical half of the room he is in.

(But of course, when he is eventually drawn with his head down the toilet, he is in the correct location - bottom-right corner, bottom half of the Bathroom.)

And a quick demo, no player interaction needed other than to start the game:

test_fall.tap

 

Same 'base' as the other two test files, ie: OK for editing for testing not really recommended for building a whole game from.

EDIT... Updated very slightly, now Willy has the choice of moving left to collect the single (wine bottle) item from Top Landing or go to rightwards to explore.

A little care should be taken with when he grabs the item with regard to the descending razor blade guardian! However if he does lose a life, upon re-materialisation he'll clear it on his automated run.

Thank you for your demos, Spider! They made this very clear! ☺️Thank you, too, IRF, for the fun fact! 🙂I think there should be lots of toilets positioned in every room in every JSW game to save Willy falling too far!😋

By the way, in your test_fall demo, it looks like Maria has catched up Willy with the last unopened bottle.... what Willy was just going to "tidy up".😆

I considered as that item tile graphic does look like two bottles, making it worth two*** but decided against it.

 

*** Something that was done elsewhere which will appear soon.
