Fractal Sidescroller

Basic Stuff

  • Uses the new fractal generator.

  • Is a sidescroller. Black pixels are "air" and dark pixels are "air" with more graceful jumps being allowed. Saturated or bright pixels are solids, with various degrees of that making them more breakable.

  • Downscaling and upscaling is possible. The new caveat is that in order to upscale, the level up has to also have a black pixel where you'd appear -- this is indicated with a dark gray pixel, or vice-versa.

  • Some kind of combat / items / whatever. I'm thinking a basic collectathon.

  • Touching any of the edges kills you. Idk how lives work.

  • I also don't know how the sidescroller mechanics work -- my existing engines are kinda cumbersome. I need a new engine that moves the player around incrementally and allows for momentum and partial clipping of tiles and stuff. Porting the whole thing to an html5 canvas also makes a certain amount of sense -- the fractal generator still informs the terrain.
